The Trump Administration terminated the National Advisory Committee to the U.S. Census Bureau. The NAC advises the Bureau on improving data on hard to count populations. This purpose & work is not done, and this action will decrease the completeness & accuracy of the 2030 #census. #EveryoneCounts

Emergency physicians often treat undocumented patients, asylum seekers, and refugees—individuals facing major barriers to care. In our latest episode, we explore how providers can protect patient rights, navigate legal challenges, and advocate for migrant health. Link: ucdavisem.com/2025/02/20/a...

Under fascism, no one is safe.

Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc.

Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations.

Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.
