Video clip of hundreds of folks leaving protest at DC Children's National Hospital earlier today.
This past week the hospital abruptly stopped providing gender affirming healthcare for youth under 19 years old, to preemptively comply with the Musk/Trump Administration's illegal Executive Order.

Apparently all the PhD researchers holding prestigious NSF-funded research fellowships are having their salaries withheld until some unspecified time when the leadership figures out how to eliminate any grant funding that doesn’t align with the president’s political ideology.
It’s official: all funding requests made on Tuesday by postdocs for their salaries have been unilaterally rejected by NSF.
