This needs to be framed beyond academia, as most on the right want to see it suffer.
This needs to be framed for how devastating this will be for the economy, at all levels (local/state/fed) as these budgets send billions across the country in people’s salaries/etc.

Budget released today:
40% cut to NIH
50% cut to NSF
If enacted, this will destroy academic research in the United States. It will also have a major trickle down effect on the entire academic ecosystem

10 days ago Trump fired hundreds of FAA employees, weakening the systems air traffic controllers rely on.
Maybe instead of handing Elon a $2 billion FAA contract, we should use that money to actually hire and retain the workers who keep our skies safe.
Just a thought.
