Our team just had an NIH grant terminated. The reason? “Transgender issues: Research programs based on gender identity are often unscientific, have little identifiable return on investment, and do nothing to enhance the health of many Americans….”

I wrote a letter to the editor about the risks of cutting federal climate-related science funding. I've found myself writing quite a few over the last few weeks, but this is the first one that's been published. If I can do it, so can you! www.bangordailynews.com/2025/02/16/o...

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

This is really good. A lot of you will be looking for something tangible you can do to protect those who are targeted by state kidnappers. I really like the idea of neighborhood ICE watches.
