1. Friends, wondering if I could have a moment of your time.
In 2022, many of you likely saw this image coming out of Iran during the Women, Life, Freedom uprisings.
While protesting for women’s rights and an end to the regime, Mersedeh Shahinkar was blinded by Islamic Republic of Iran authorities

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows.
As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Standing up in a time like this matters because this flavor of authoritarianism relies on the public’s passive acceptance, rather than active popular support.
When We The People sit there dumbfounded when inhumane and abnormal policies are enacted, we play into their hand.
We must stand up!

The North Carolina General Assembly’s GOP supermajority just approved a hugely corrupt power grab, seizing authority from the governor and the courts to prevent any meaningful check on legislative abuses. Authoritarian stuff. A very dark day for democracy in NC. amp.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

gotta say I’m surprised by how many Europeans are flying to get home for thanksgiving this year. Really thought they preferred trains over there
