SICKENING—Trump’s DHS just deported a surgeon from Brown—who is here legally on an H1B visa that doesn’t expire until 2027, & committed no crimes. Trained in the U.S. at Ohio State, University of Washington, and Yale as a **transplant surgeon**, she is a highly trained doctor on kidney transplants.

By cutting funding for USAID
Elon Musk and Donald Trump are probably condemning one million children to die of starvation
200,000 to be paralyzed because they’ll likely contract polio
And up to 18 million cases of malaria per year
Which could cause another 166,000 deaths
Pure unadulterated evil

The NIH announced it will slash billions of dollars of support to universities and research centers.
This is one of the biggest attacks on science we have ever seen. It could dismantle the biomedical research system, shut down clinical trials, and halt development of treatments.
