Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

🚨 UPDATE: After humiliating the U.S. on the world stage, Trump just jetted off to Florida—to golf.
He’s now spent 35% of his presidency on vacation, burning through $20M+ in taxpayer dollars. The laziest "president" in U.S. history.

Trump & Musk are making massive cuts to the National Institutes of Health.
I know there is a lot going on right now, but this is one of worst things they have done so far, will affect cancer research and trials, the search for cures, innovation and competitiveness, our universities. Your lives.

Apologies for this long post I put together to explain to non-scientists the impact of NIH cuts: Last night, an “atomic bomb” was dropped on the biomedical science community. We were informed that effective immediately, indirect costs on NIH grants (both current and future) would be fixed at 15%.
