Can you imagine what might have been achieved in the past 10 years if all the attention energy and money wasn’t thrown away on getting us…here?
How much could be achieved if this level of commitment, forethought, strategic focus and planning went to good?

Making it more difficult for plaintiffs to challenge administrative actions, and to obtain full relief when they do so - here by requiring claim splitting in different fora - reduces the risk of unfavorable rulings that impose serious compliance asks of the government.

I’m presently in a room filled with space and outside there is also space. It’s crazy, you wouldn’t believe all the spaces.

I can’t even think “well, they are protecting things for when it is the other way around”, because NIH is never going to be funding fucked up shit we need to kill. That all just goes straight through congress now.

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · Aug 21

In a divided decision, the Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration allowing it to eliminate NIH grants to any organization that doesn't follow administration priorities by not eliminating DEI or not eliminating recognition of trans people.

A win! The Senate has agreed to restore roughly $400 million in funding for PEPFAR, the landmark HIV/AIDS program launched under President Bush that’s credited with saving millions of lives around the world. Keep speaking up, it makes a difference.

/4 Of course, the prospects of getting a meaningfully different Congress are poor because one of the things the regime and its allies will do is break laws and norms to obstruct free and fair elections. (Watch in particular for use of ICE to harass potential voters and vote-organizers.)
