📢BREAKING: Just left the courthouse for our NIH grant termination case
Judge ruled terminations are “VOID & ILLEGAL”
As a plaintiff, I felt a wave of relief & hope; he acknowledged the discrimination & harm
Closed by asking, ‘Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?’

Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen. This week, the court halted abortions.
