🚨URGENT RESPONSE CALL🚨
You’ve seen the bad news. Now it’s time for us to flood the zone.
Over 400 NSF grants — gone. Trump’s cronies are cutting science funding and betting we won’t notice. But we’re not powerless. We’ve got 24 hours to make noise.
Here’s how 🧵(1/3) ➡️

@katrinamillerphd.bsky.social & I took a look at over 400 active National Science Foundation grants that got killed in the past few days. Here's our story (gift link) nyti.ms/4jp4aOx

So fiendishly simple. Get married, take your husband's last name, and lo! -> your birth certificate is now invalid b/c your last name doesn't match the name on your birth certificate, which now can't be used to prove your citizenship in order to vote.
Seems like kind of a big story.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!
Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)

Deep Cuts to Medical Research Funds Could Hobble University Budgets
Grants from the National Institutes of Health come with additional money for overhead. Proposed funding cuts would leave colleges with large budget gaps.
