The abrupt termination last year of thousands of research grants by the US NIH didn’t affect all groups of scientists equitably. A survey suggests that it disproportionately hit researchers from under-represented groups. go.nature.com/4tffr8c

NIH grant cuts disproportionately hit minority and female scientists
A survey reveals sharp divides in who bore the brunt of last year’s spree of grant cancellations by the Trump administration.

Collapsing SC's tax brackets into a single rate of 3.99% would reduce state revenues by $217 million. Still, most tax filers would pay more.

Taking action for justice takes courage, wisdom & spiritual grounding. How do we discern when & how to act? How do we prepare for risk while staying true to our values? Rev. Elizabeth Nguyen’s resource offers guidance for accountable action. 💡 bit.ly/4i6T7sA #Justice #Liberation #UU
A digital graphic from the Unitarian Universalist Association featuring a textured beige background with small white specks. At the top, a bold purple banner with a rough, brushstroke-style edge contains white uppercase text reading "TAKING ACTION FOR JUSTICE." To the right of this banner, the Unitarian Universalist Association logo, consisting of a stylized flame within a chalice, is displayed in black.

Centered below the banner, a large speech bubble outlined in purple contains white text that reads, "How do we discern when and how to act?" with a question mark extending out of the bubble.

Below, a second, larger speech bubble outlined in deep purple contains a quote in black text reading:
"The goal is always to live to fight another day. The goal is also to actually fight and not pretend we are fighting when we are actually refraining from participation in meaningful justice work. This looks different for different people." – Rev. Elizabeth Nguyen

At the bottom, centered text in bold purple reads: "Get resources at:" followed by the URL: www.uua.org/safe/community-resilience.

A new member of the Susan Collins club! Fitzpatrick is “very concerned” about politicization of the FBI…
A tweet from Face The Nation quoting Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), a former FBI agent, expressing concern about political pressure within the FBI. He references a top agent in New York who claims he was forced out due to conflicts with the Justice Department. Fitzpatrick emphasizes that the FBI should remain nonpartisan and apolitical. He also states his intention to discuss these concerns with the new FBI director, Kash Patel, and suggests that potential agents be tested for political bias during the hiring process.
