During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

where’s an opposition party when you need one man. you’ve got gamers and late night audiences and higher ed and the cancer community and jack and annie who saw ice disappear a neighbor all looking for someone to step up to bat. the messaging couldn’t be simpler

Today marks two years of childhood cancer treatment. Thank you eternally to our circle of friends, family, health providers, and orgs that make it possible. And fuck you to the haters and the federal government.

Shutting down the war on cancer.

“New presidential administrations have usually gone out of their way to make transitions at the NIH as seamless as possible so as not to disrupt ongoing research…”
