Well gun manufacturers have been manipulating the vote not only large donations to US politicians, but also helping candidates play to the fears of gun owners buying guns
America has become so extreme in gun violence, this plays a part of it

Trump administration cutting funding for the NIH is going to affect neurological studies like those at Houston Methodist Research Institute. I was in a study that showed promise for a rare disease. I hope we don’t lose the scientists

As someone with ALS this is tragic all those with health conditions that need research and depend upon grants you’re killing people with this. Makes sense for certain goals. The current US administration is leading us into darker waters.
Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

I still remember at the NRA Protest after Uvalde. Seeing DJ’s Mom pacing with her family grief was palpable, and asking for a bull horn for DJ’s Mom she expressed her grief and asked for gun sense, better laws. DJ was 11 getting his coat from the car, Murder got 40 years

This article, from before the election, lays out some very scary "ifs" for Trump's potential misuse of surveillance tech.

I have had so many uncomfortable conversations and de-escalation to having fights with people. Tolerance and intolerance. Empathy matters, but your voice counts. #conversations.
