The US plans to cut billions in reimbursements to medical researchers for items such as hazardous waste disposal.
Outcry as NIH Plans $4 Billion in Cuts to Reimburse Scientists
The National Institutes of Health plans to cut billions of dollars in reimbursements to medical researchers, a move scientists warn could jeopardize their work in advancing cures for diseases.

Labs will be shut down. Career paths ended. Research stifled and capitulated to China and elsewhere. Besides LGBTQ issues, one of the closest-to-home , direct consequences of an election I’ve ever seen in an effort to make America stupider and fall behind the rest of the world.

Powering through the longest ongoing strike in the nation is a testament to your resolve. Your organized labor makes our communities stronger and our workplaces more fair.

BREAKING: We won!
Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

After police used Flock cameras to accuse a Denver woman of theft, she had to prove her own innocence.
Faced w/ a high-tech accusation, she turned to a different form of electronic surveillance to exonerate herself — apps on her phone and in her car that were also recording what she did that day.
