Everyday Americans get nickel and dimed while the rich dodge taxes.
They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets.
They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability.
There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

Could not agree more: We the people have the power.
Trump knows that.
That is why he tries to silence and control us. To make us afraid and demoralized.
But the moment we give up our voice out of fear or apathy or hopelessness is the moment he wins.
Do not give him your voice in advance.

Been hearing folks don’t realize NIH is more than its internal labs.
That cutting NIH is ok because Dana Farber will still do cancer research. Joslin will cover diabetes, etc.
But these centers get most of their funding from NIH.
Stop NIH, and the whole system fails, across the entire US.

100% true. What’s needed is courage and fight. Speak out against the politicization of science.
Something I wish more people understood: part of the point of shock-and-awe grant terminations at NIH and NSF has been to make scientists and university administrators afraid to speak out against the administration. And it's working. But, some of us were never going to get a grant from them anyway.
