Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Well… We’re back to square one…. Federal grant review has been halted. NIH Study sections are not meeting. Science research has screeched to a halt and soon staff will be let go and labs shut down if this continues much longer. These disruptions have caused damage that will take decades to repair. 🧪

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Stephen Miller said something he was not supposed to say out loud. He said Trump had "plenary authority," which is the same complete and absolute power that Hitler had. We now know exactly what we're up against. We are facing the same fascist threat as German citizens in 1933.

America First, baby.

Can you believe this sh**? I have to fire my staff because our government is still in 3rd grade. I give up!! Bullies always win! No matter what the situation.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

My proposal is scheduled for review on 10/23. If the shutdown prevents its review, I will have to fire my staff. I have funds to pay through 3/26. I then will be forced to shut my lab down after 37 years. What a waste!! And for what? grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Lawrence O’Donnell: “Imagine crossing ten time zones to hear that.”

Our purchasing department is down to one person, and he runs our stockroom. We used to have a five people in or purchasing department and they occupied a room to themselves! We are a major University, University of Washington. Is this happening on other campuses? 🧪

The streets of Chicago are full with tens of thousands of people standing up to ICE and Trump. Join us.

TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS!!! I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared.

The worst part for cancer survivors…. Waiting alone in this tiny room for your imaging results! 😳 This is where my journey began 9 years ago…. Hopefully, if my NIH grant is funded, I will continue looking into our body’s ability to prevent metastases by removing the tumor’s protective Cys coating.

First Bernie Sanders. Then the CDC directors. Now, more than 1,000 current and former HHS staffers are demanding he step down.

So if the Epstein files is a hoax..why did Epstein kill himself 🤔

So I have a question... RFK, Jr. says he does not believe "modeling studies" to estimate the number of premature deaths prevented by COVID vaccines, He want to see real data. Question: What data does he have in mind? 1/2

In response to the dismantling of the CDC, California, Oregon, and Washington have launched the West Coast Health Alliance, which will make their own science-based vaccine guidelines, and make sure vaccines are accessible to everyone.

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
