We’ve tried to shelter our minds but tonight we’re preparing for the genocide of Science.
Entire NIH departments will have no leaders.
World renowned Scientists kicked to the curb without cause, & grants will loose their lead investigators.
Is this what they want?
Chaos? Destruction?

CDC will no longer process transgender data
The agency's decision will likely affect a number of federal health surveillance systems that serve as critical resources for researchers.

This fight for Medicaid isn’t only about health care, it’s about jobs (staff in hospitals, nursing homes, etc) and the future of rural and community hospitals.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.
There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP
Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

I remember several years ago when interviewed by a major news outlet in honor of this day...
The entire time, he asked me about how hard it was to be a woman in science (I have plenty of fodder). At the end, he said "anything to add?" to which I said "yes, don't you want to know about my science?"

You rolled over on genocide in Gaza, were told to keep quiet and obeyed. No matter what you say about Trump now, it just rings hollow.
When we look back at Trump’s impact on (global/public) health we’d see that the failure of our response began with the failure of our response on Gaza.

This is the deadlier version of the racist myth that Black people feel less pain, leading to denied pain meds.
