This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024. That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved. Show me a better investment than that. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

People with doctorates are the most liberal and progressive. The entire mission of destroying academia is to eliminate entire voting demographics. They explicitly spell this out. Shutting down PhD programs isn't an accident, it's the goal.

"A line graph from Pew Research Center compares the political affiliations of registered voters based on their education level from 2019 to 2023. The four categories shown are: High school or less, Some college, College degree, and Postgraduate degree. Each graph displays the percentage of voters who identify as Republican/Lean Republican (red line) and Democratic/Lean Democratic (blue line).

High school or less: The Republican-leaning group starts at 51% in 2019 and ends at 52% in 2023, while the Democratic-leaning group starts at 45% and ends at 44%.

Some college: The Republican-leaning group starts at 49% in 2019 and ends at 50% in 2023, while the Democratic-leaning group starts at 49% and ends at 45%.

College degree: The Democratic-leaning group is consistently higher, starting at 56% in 2019 and ending at 55% in 2023, while the Republican-leaning group starts at 42% and ends at 42%.

Postgraduate degree: The Democratic-leaning group is significantly higher, starting at 64% in 2019 and ending at 61% in 2023, while the Republican-leaning group starts at 35% and ends at 37%.

The note states that the data is based on registered voters, with no answer responses not shown. The source is the American Trends Panel surveys of U.S. adults conducted between 2019 and 2023."

I want to be clear about where we stand with the EO: The battlefield is now revealed. We know the pieces on it and their plans. It doesn't mean its lost or immediate. But Trump has fired his first shot. Implementation will take time and challenges are sure to come. Stay strong, its a marathon.

Do not obey in advance.
Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely
given. In times like these, individuals think
ahead about what a more repressive govern-
ment will want, and then offer themselves with-
out being asked. A citizen who adapts in this
way is teaching power what it can do.

States are justifying their bans of transgender health care on a 388-page report called the Cass Review. Supreme Court justices have invoked it. Today, in @nejm.org, Craig Konnoth and I conclude the report is unsound because it departs from standards in medical law, policy, and practice. 🧵(1/12)
