98% of NIH grants that should have gone out this month, didn't. Despite court orders 'unfreezing' the funds, they are frozen. Biomedical research will grind to a halt. Clinical trials will end. All for no reason: the total impact on the US budget is miniscule

For those asking where the Dems are, I might suggest: the right didn’t wait on the Republicans. They plotted the course & the Republicans followed, at first in small packs, but eventually all falling in line. The left may have to do something similar. Don’t wait on “the Democrats”. Show them the way

"Things might be tough but it's great for artists! They'll create more!" You might not believe me but going through a lifetime's worth of stress Every Single Week for years and years- is actually not the optimal set of circumstances that inspires artists to create

Don't spread rumors. Stick to substantiated data. Here's a rumor that spread a panic that this excellent news source found no basis for. missionlocal.org/2025/01/sfpd...

missionlocal.org

ICE confirms no immigration activity on Muni. But SFUSD helped spread rumor.

SFUSD sent emails notifying families that a middle school student claimed to have been approached by ICE. It wasn't true.
