Thanks to the corrupt (and stolen) SCOTUS, if the US gov't stiffs you, you'll have to take it up with the Court of Federal Claims. And this is essentially an arm of the Trump Administration. When we wake up and will take back all that has been stolen from us?

The Trump admin just asked the Supreme Court to let NIH cancel $783M in diversity-related research grants, after a federal judge ruled the cuts illegal and discriminatory.

Ridiculous that we have to rely on the courts to prevent deaths from infectious diseases.

Pure cruelty. "By attacking Medicaid directly, which provides health care coverage for 40% of people living with HIV in the United States, our entire domestic response to the epidemic will be destabilized. " savehivfunding.org/cuts-kill-ho...

The full ruling explaining why NIH grant cuts are illegal came out today. It's just as blistering as the judge's oral remarks. And it uncovers fresh details in DOGE's role orchestrating the cuts — and on the cuts at Columbia. Here are my top highlights from the 103-page ruling. 🧵

This is false. Our trials have been halted and participants have been dropped. We wrote the NIH director to explain this disconnect and have yet to hear back. Go to grant-watch.us and see for yourself. Thanks @maxkozlov.bsky.social for reporting facts

We're tired of the false information and wrote this letter to the NIH director Jay Bhattacharya. FACT: clinical trials have been halted. With real ethical impacts. Is this what Americans want to be known for? Let's see what the director says.

🚨BREAKING: In a huge win for public health and democracy, a federal court ruled that the NIH’s ideological purge of life-saving research grants is unlawful. Today, the rule of law prevailed — and science, once again, belongs to everyone.

Um, sorry. We've been developing interventions to address disparities and those trials were DOGE-d. This adds fuel to the fire. bsky.app/profile/nyto...

If you're heading to a protest tomorrow, it's important to know your rights. Consult this information from the ACLU. Be peaceful. Be safe. Be careful. Be strong.

An incredible interactive look at the thousands of NIH grants and billions of dollars cut — and the real people, both researchers and patients, behind them. Bravo @anniewaldman.bsky.social et al at @propublica.org

I can vouch for this team of researchers. Share your story with a 5 minute survey. The impacts of terminated NIH grants are real! bsky.app/profile/rebe...

For anyone protesting this Saturday, be safe and civil. These are great suggestions for signs to make it clear that PROTEST is not REBELLION. bsky.app/profile/kath...

Shame on WAPO for calling this a 'rebellion'. That will just stir a police state response. This is scientists *standing up* for research ethics and human lives. Let's not let the norms slide here. None of this is normal. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

Calling in the National Guard in LA to suppress protests against ICE arrests: yes we shd protest, but with awareness that this is part of the gov't's plan - provoking protests as a manufactured "crisis" that then necessitates a suspension of "normal law". youtu.be/MsuGWFgNg14

Want some extra protection for the UC attacks? Just joined the American Association of University Professors and UCSF Faculty Association. Took 2 minutes to sign up. Discounted rates for early career faculty!

Fridays come with blood-shed these days. I am told the DOJ was at UCSF today, with an emergency meeting of the chancellors. Have a wonderful weekend ya'll! bsky.app/profile/maxk...

Researcher Amita Gupta has spent more than a decade planning and running a $70-million trial to study a new tuberculosis drug, enrolling ~6,000 participants in 13 countries. It might all have been for nothing. That's because a new NIH policy has abruptly cut off billions to trials abroad. 🧪

“You can imagine how a participant from rural Africa is going to feel one day when they realize we have disappeared, we’ve gone back to the US and we’ve collected all this information about them. There’s the potential for medical mistrust and anti-democratic beliefs to flourish.”

@amyaconroy.bsky.social minced no words when she described the impacts the NIH cuts to trials abroad will have. “This trial is the product of five years of formative work that American taxpayers have invested in, and they will never know the results of this study that they’ve paid for.”

NIH funding will abruptly cease for dozens, if not hundreds, of ongoing overseas trials of drugs and treatments. Its policy change puts thousands of trial participants in limbo. https://go.nature.com/3Z8xNM1

The "One Big Beautiful Bill" - the Repub Budget Bill - has a provision tucked into it on p. 562 that renders current fed'l court orders against the Trump Admin unenforceable. This renders the administration immune from legal accountability. I explain. youtu.be/aFntw5ZuLhQ
