Figure showing number of competitive grants mentioning women from 2015-2025. The number was rising until recently, with a precipitous drop in the last year.

At the end of 2024, the National Academies put out a report concluding the NIH has woefully underfunded women’s health research, and they suggested $15 B should be invested over the next 5 years.

Here’s what’s happened instead. Hard to study women’s health if you can’t say “women.”

How tragic that you could publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish a cartoon like this over and over again...

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:

Cover of Mother Jones with an image of fingers pointing at John Roberts and the coverline "Blame John Roberts for Everything"

The NYT big expose on SCOTUS today pairs well with @ariberman.bsky.social and @pemalevy.bsky.social's cover story on how ~everything wrong with this country today can be laid at the feet of John Roberts: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Donald Trump defunded the Red Cross.

I love this!!

Spot on.

Don’t let this go by unnoticed

Unconscionable. This is what happens when Christian nationalists infiltrate and erode the high court by replacing science with their own twisted beliefs and calling it law.

Visibility right now is an act of resistance. I don’t take lightly what today asks of trans people — especially trans people of color, especially trans kids.

Stop saying underage women.
They are children.

A 30-pt swing in South Carolina in November makes me a Senator and retires Lindsey Graham. 🇺🇸

If the Epstein files are this vile and incriminating already, just imagine all the stuff they’re still hiding.

WHO removing Us Flag

Wow! This feels overwhelmingly devastating!

Bipartisan negotiators released a DHS funding bill that does not significantly reduce ICE and CBP’s funding nor rein in the agencies’ abuses of power.

Make no mistake: Any Democrat who votes for this bill is complicit in Trump’s campaign of terror.

Grow a spine and vote no.
