Having to write these bios gives me a sense of existential dread. In other news, some people on other platforms think I occasionally have interesting things to say. #medsky twitter @arghavan_salles IG @arghavansallesmd Tik Tok @arghavansallesmdphd

I know not everyone can keep up with all the grant terminations, but it’s important to know what we’re losing so I’ll try to compile them here.

First is a study on intimate partner violence with perinatal women (note: the #1 cause of death during pregnancy is homicide)

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

These are Fuji. The quince are also ready to harvest, and then persimmons will be next! Pomegranates are already being seeded, too

It’s true that some MAGA supporters are losing faith in Trump and expressing frustration. But evidence and trends suggest they’re flocking to explicit Fascists and growing more radicalized.

We can’t just sit back and hope. We have to fight.

Watching parts of the Right grow weary of Trump might be hopeful, but without needed change the situation will only worsen

Thank you!

Sadly #TheTaraShow was canceled last Fri (10/3) but I didn’t find out until Saturday

The last week has been really terrifying because I don’t have an employer, in case anyone would like to #HireTara to write about politics or #SignTara to that elusive book deal already

Kalebee @zaggs.bsky.social · 18h

Greetings Tara!
I’m currently catching, The Tara Show.
Your mention of all that Military command in one room just went by. A thing about that being, all ~ 800 of them, exposed to that shitshow as One audience.
Inestimable new comradeship formed with a singular matter to discuss.

Dozens of federal judges told The NYT they’re worried about the Supreme Court’s growing use of its emergency docket. The survey shows 47 judges disagreed that it’s been used appropriately, only 12 agreed. Even the judiciary is losing faith in the judiciary.

Yes, many of the men like this take advantage of the fact that girls don’t know what is normal for a pelvic exam. So they assault them without the patient realizing it until later. Disgusting.
