NIH has announced major cuts. Medical and scientific research across the country will be badly damaged, affecting America's ability to innovate well into the future.
Here are the 25 institutions that receive the most NIH funding (98% of HHS is NIH). Basically, they're large schools with large hospitals. They receive 50% of all NIH funding.

The guy spend a chunk of his childhood in an internment camp because our government thought he might be dangerous because he was of Japanese descent. He was also gay when you were forced to hide it. It’s been much worse for a lot of people in our history. George knows what he’s talking about.

If you think it’s wrong to criticize Democratic failures or learn lessons you might as well plan to keep losing. This idea that we’re perfect but millions just wanted fascism is dumb. We can and must do better. That means having hard conversations. We do it in the Army after training failures too.

Been discussing/debating/fighting on this since I posted my SCOTUS piece the Sunday after the election (www.lawdork.com/p/the-justic...).
Like, people absolutely can make arguments about problems, and they should, but, nihilism/defeatism ain't it.
I strongly agree with this. —>

Yeah. I am very much on the verge of just blocking people who say "meh, the rule of law no longer matters" or "they're just going to do what they want" etc.
They can try, but accepting it as given, means giving up.
Stop trying to make everyone give up fighting for basic rights.
