I am still processing the conversation I had last night with a longterm NIH staffer. Some of their words:

"It's a hostage taking situation."
"We're constantly dodging drone strikes."
"They want us frozen with fear."
"RFK is going to cause deaths."

Monarez is playing her weak hand perfectly, and should be a model for institutional resistance for the next four years:
1. Make them fire you
2. Don’t go along to get along
3. Don’t apologize, have confidence in your own integrity and the importance of your role
4. Always escalate the conflict
