I encourage everybody to read this blog post. Especially those who, like me, are struggling with overwhelming emotions making it very difficult to function day to day.

Self-care and resistance are not mutually exclusive. 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.

If we don’t tend to our nervous systems, we burn out before we can resist. And that’s exactly what they want." https://substack.com/home/post/p-158896952 #Resist

"What’s happening in this country to our veterans is not right."

A crowd of nearly 3,000 gathered Friday on the National Mall for a veterans' rally to protest cuts by President Donald Trump to veterans' federal jobs, services and benefits. Reject the fascist republican criminals.

Let me tell you: all Vets vote #Democratic no excuses, you have the marching order, #Dems in every race.

"I have lived as an ME/CFS 'spoonie' for the past 20 years after I got a virus and never recovered. I’ve spent much of the past 10 years of my career advocating for ME/CFS research at the NIH"

"I don’t want to see the same scientific harms that have happened in the ME community become even more widespread across all of science"

"This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We're essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, & there’s no choice.🚨SCIENCE CAN'T FUNCTION w/o the stability of NIH."
-R Sirianni

"Trump admin attacks on the NIH mean biomedical research will become less ambitious, less competitive & result in fewer breakthroughs."

"Musk says that no one has died bc he slashed #humanitarianaid. I went to Sudan, & within an hour, I'd the names of 2 children who'd died bc of decisions by wealth-.”

These innocents are just 2 of the millions who'll suffer & likely die💔from #TrumpMusk's dismantling of #USAID.

This American "beacon on the hill" agency was a soft target for them. Their destructive path toward #privatization is pure evil.

Give a bully what he demands & he'll demand more.

Report: "White House tells Columbia to sack academic staff over Israel criticism"

Trump is threatening to pull government funding from Columbia & demanding it sack the leadership of the Middle Eastern, South Asian & African Studies Department & place it under “academic receivership for a minimum of five years”.

Trump Claims Boycotting Tesla Is Illegal, Which It Very Much Is Not

"Meanwhile, the anger at #Musk & #DOGE is absolutely fueling the #protests, property damage, and public outcry at #Tesla owners & dealerships...

while #Trump can’t currently punish the free public for #protesting, it’s obvious he wants to. Which means he, at least, is no longer operating under the illusion that it’s a #democracy he wants. Nor a #republic."
