Despite Congress' rejection of the FY 2026 budget, scientists and institutions are increasingly under threat as ideology rather than evidence shapes funding and policy decisions for science and medical research.

Yes, top-line funding was approved on a bipartisan basis. But, funding that has been approved is slow to go out the door (or not going out the door at all).

“Dear minorities, please come back! We swear we’re making the food less racist.”

If you’re planning on going into medicine right now, reconsider because…nigga 🥴

The way these doctors and nurses and techs and so on are acting about COVID and continuing to spread unchecked without concern for the masses is CRAZY and irresponsible. And if you try to point it out as someone trying to break into the healthcare field, they act like you John Wick-ed their dog 😑

Why I keep masking at airports. I would permanently wear one like daft punk if I could.

Present at our nation’s founding — but excluded from its promise Elizabeth Freeman demanded her rightful place among this country's founders and helped forge a tradition of forcing America to live up to its ideals.

Women, the enslaved and Indigenous people were all present at the birth of this country, but they were also excluded from its promise and potential. The true birth of this nation is the longer, harder story of what they did next.

Today, I’m launched my first column for The 19th's Revolutionary, a project that explores our country's journey from exclusion to belonging.

It begins with Elizabeth Freeman — a formerly enslaved Black woman who sued for her freedom and helped define what belonging in America could look like.

It is impossible to understate how weird these guys are.

The Untapped Potential of Organized Mainline American Protestantism Around the country, Mainline Protestant churches are stepping up to help organizing the resistance to ICE's incursions into their communities.

“While the white "Christian Left" alone is unlikely to rescue American democracy, its leadership, organizational networks, physical spaces, and congregants are all valuable, established resources for those efforts” www.liberalcurrents.com/the-untapped...

Federal Grand Jury Charges Southern Poverty Law Center for Wire Fraud, False Statements, and Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering A Grand Jury in Montgomery, Alabama, today returned an indictment charging the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) with 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspi...

1. The central claim in the indictment of SPLC is a lie.

The DOJ/FBI accuse SPLC of lying to donors about seeking to “dismantle” extremist groups while secretly funding them. But the funds were used to infiltrate & help law enforcement dismantle these groups. Kash Patel knows this is the truth…

Fascists cant be shamed. They arent committed to rules & institutions. When they overturn them there is no cognitive dissonance. A political strategy aimed at calling them out wont stop them, because the problem is not that they're inconsistent.

Screengrab from Princesse Tam-Tam (Edmond T. Gréville, 1935)

Image from Black Girl (Ousmane Sembène, 1966)

One day I'd like to program a double feature of Princesse Tam-Tam (Edmond T. Gréville, 1935) and Black Girl (Ousmane Sembène, 1966). Both films are about the movement of a young Black woman from a French colony or post-colony in Africa (Tunisia in Tam-Tam, Senegal in Black Girl) to France.

🥺

Staggering to try to contemplate what a staggering loss something like this is, then remember that it happens day in, day out all around this country.

In 1966, the NY Mattachine Society walked into Julius Bar and announced they were gay — a deliberate civil rights action to challenge laws that criminalized serving alcohol to queer people. They won. Our visibility has always been an act of courage. #QueerHistory #LGBTQHistory

‘When Miami spent two decades under a federal ruling that prohibited jail cells and fines as homelessness responses, the county reduced its homelessness rate by 90 percent by funding housing and services.’

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?
