When Hitler started ranting about the Jews from streetcorners in the 1920s, he was part of a long history of European anti-Semitism.
But where in the world did this massive anti-trans campaign come from? I feel like it was invented out of whole cloth in the last five years.

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.
This is a campaign of eradication.

US politicians commonly claim that the US has been a "beacon of democracy" for the past 250 years, at home and abroad. Let's have a look a the evidence. 🧵 Links at the end.

Social democracy is not a viable alternative to capitalism. It is a tempting prospect, but ultimately suffers from violent contradictions that cannot be sustained. 🧵

With the news re: Elon and Dept of Treasury (basically the coup happening in plain sight)—if you don’t have your $ in a credit union instead of the big banks, you best get on that first thing Monday.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.
I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Watching multiple colleague's work being evaporated by this administration. Wondering when it's my turn.
Keep paper copies of everything. Keep a written timeline of events. History and progress is already being erased/rewritten by the oligarchs.
