Sorry, Charlie, but while you left a legacy of dehumanizing people you disagreed with, vilifying empathy, justifying gun violence as necessary for personal freedoms, and prioritizing soundbites of "owning" debates over pluralistic problem solving, your legacy can't force me to not feel empathy..

In APHA v NIH, filed in April, in response to abrupt defunding of NIH grants, Judge Young ruled that the termination of some of the NIH grants was illegal & ordered that they be restored. Essentially, you can't terminate funding if you can't define the reason. 🧪🔗 arstechnica.com/science/2025...

Judge: You can’t ban DEI grants without bothering to define DEI

A written ruling details why a judge restored funding for many NIH grants.

An assault on immigrant communities is an assault on *America itself.* Immigrants *are* the American story—builders, dreamers, defenders. If you come for them, you're not defending this country—you’re desecrating it. Don’t dare call it patriotism. It’s cowardice in red, white, and blue #VoteHellNo
