What Kendrick Lamar’s Halftime Show Said
The rapper insists he’s a musician, not a messiah—a message reinforced by his Super Bowl performance.

One of my friends has a grant from the #FDA to look at disparities in clinical trial research and just submitted a manuscript with the findings. She was told today by the collaborators from the #FDA to rescind it.

#Censorhip has started, we are living in authoritarian government.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has pulled draft guidance from its website requiring companies to test medicines and devices in diverse populations as part of a purge of diversity, equity and inclusion efforts at U.S. health agencies.

BREAKING: Democratic Congresswoman
Ilhan Omar enrages MAGA boldly declaring that Donald Trump doesn't deserve to be shown "dignity" or "respect.”
“The level of indignity Trump showed and disrespect to tradition to me says no one should show him dignity and respect."

feels like at this point the entire Trump administration could carve swastikas into their foreheads and the media would be all 'let's not rush to judgement'

The antidote for despair is action ❤️

* Dial (202) 224-3121
* Enter zip code
* Leave voicemail
* Say “My name is ___, I’m a constituent in [town]. (If clinician/scientist, say so)

“The NIH freeze harms research and patients and must be lifted immediately.”

Be brief. Staffers tally all calls. Go! ✅
NIH funding supports the vast majority of all biomedical research in the United States. Virtually every advance in American medicine and biological science comes from NIH. This is a blow against American science.

Call Congress, 202-224-3121.
