a cloture vote for the way-harder-to-undo-than-an-executive-order federal anti-trans sports ban is now set for monday. that means there's more time to make calls.
no on cloture means it doesn't get a vote. the GOP needs 7 dems to advance it.
please call. there is *so* much evil downstream of this.

NIDA has announced it, but all the NIH summer internship programs are likely cancelled.
Sorry college students interested in STEM jobs, sorry high school students looking at science 🧪 careers. Trump and Musk are cancelling your futures.

It is actually a problem that scientists keep marching for science though instead of against fascism and for humanity
I don’t remember mass action from STEM folks when Jeff Sessions attacked the NEH in 2015 and I’m still mad about it. But. That’s not gonna stop me fighting for the NIH and NSF.
I will happily subsidize STEM research every day. We NEED doctors and engineers. The issue is large scale dismissal of my field, not how we fund.
The current admin is going after medicine and science. If they take us out, too, that's fine. But it isn't the goal of slashing NSF and NIH.
