The only thing authoritarians fear more than a voice they cannot control is a chorus. So let’s give them one: speak up, speak loudly, and don’t stop. Stand with Jenna. ✊🇺🇸

Trump’s HHS put me on “non-disciplinary” admin leave today. This was retaliation for speaking up. Moves like this are designed to silence us. Let’s not let.

While the government was shut down, 379 NIH study section meetings (containing 24,380 grant applications) were postponed. NIH is committed to getting these reviewed, but please be patient and understanding with staff, as this is a complex and heavy lift.

We didn't treat this shutdown like a vacation. It was an important period to reflect on the needs of people. Food, shelter, and water are necessary components of health, and @27unihted.bsky.social members know that just because you're not on duty, health is always the mission. #NIHStrong #FEDStrong

‘We’ll still continue to serve’: Many federal employees turn to volunteering during shutdown
Many government workers say they have also had to rely on nonprofits for assistance during the funding lapse.

Scientists had to change more than 700 grant titles to receive NIH funding. Health disparities researchers fear what’s next
The titles of more than 700 multi-year NIH grants have been changed this year, according to an analysis by Jeremy Berg, a former agency official

Thanks @markhisted.org for calling attention to something we were very afraid of and are grateful did not happen. A great reminder to continue to speak up about the illegal terminations of NIHs staff, and the overall impact is has and continues to have on vital programs.
My reax to the big planned NIH shutdown firing news from @politico.com:
The Project 2025 ppl didn’t do big (illegal) NIH firings because they know there would be public outcry.
Keep speaking up!

Thanks so much for highlighting our post on the former director of NIMHD!
🧵1) When Dr. Eliseo Pérez-Stable became the Director of the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) in 2015, he brought a vision: that the science of minority health should go beyond describing disparities - it should uncover why they exist in the first place.

Today I kicked off No Kings Day with hundreds of fired up patriots at NIH who are standing up to this lawless president.
Together we said NO to his attacks on public health.
NO to his assault on our Constitution.
NO to kings in America.
And YES to standing up for our democracy.
