"Rather than “elevating the role of scientific peer review”, the proposal diminishes it. The NIH proposal is paternalistic, ill-conceived, and ripe for misuse. There is substantial risk for manipulation when reviewer information is concealed. The risk is even greater given the political context." 👏👏

What is NIH Leadership Trying to Hide from Researchers & the Public?
A NIH proposal to conceal reviewer rankings of investigator-initiated research grants is ripe for misuse & demands a collective response (by October 13).

Please share this with someone in NYC. It is incredibly important that our frustration is directed at the correct people. Yes we need to pressure Zohran to fire Jessica Tisch, and we also need to get the CURB Act passed. The Curb Act is the only thing that can disband the SRG.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

25 years ago today, the U.S. launched its war in Afghanistan. Weeks earlier, Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 Authorization of Military Force, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

The Democratic establishment spent years insisting the left was the problem. Now Rahm Emanuel says DSA should effectively be outside the party — while Michael Bennet, a longtime centrist Democrat, calls that “a huge mistake.” That tells you something about where this fight is headed.
