The federal government’s demand of $1 billion from @UCLA would devastate the nation’s best public university, cut off life-saving care, halt tech and economic growth and reduce educational access. Stand with UC to protect our vital mission: www.universityofcalifornia.edu/get-involved...

“As a public university, we are stewards of taxpayer resources, and a payment of this scale would completely devastate our country’s greatest public university system as well as inflict great harm on our students and all Californians.” —UC President James B. Milliken

This is devastating! Please share with friends and family, Trump doesn’t support Veterans IN ANY WAY! Half the employees of the VA are Veterans. The Veteran community is about to feel the pain of already understaffed VA, we are going backwards!! apnews.com/article/vete...

Today, a broad coalition of scientific professional societies who represent over 92,000 scientists are speaking out against the politicization and demonization of Federally funded science and government scientist jobs. It was an honor to help the Union of Concerned Scientists with this! 🧪🌎
