Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it.
Strong power move for Team Cancer.

As a society we benefit from our members being as healthy as possible. We help them when they are unhealthy, we help them recover & we research cures & treatments.
Our people =our greatest strength. Why regress? Why?

If the population is sick and struggling, they cannot organize.
Talk about wanting kids to get sick and die.
Cold hearted muthafuggas
From what I found, a judge blocked it.

May anyone who supports Donald Trump burn in hell.
Stage 4 inoperable…..I hate them so much!!
Thank you.
And to all who have lost loved ones keep their memories strong.
They didn't care then. They won't care now.
It's hurting the libs is how they'll rationalize it.
This is so wrong on multiple levels
How the hell did we get here???
I hate that SOB!
It's been 5 years since I lost my husband to renal cell carcinoma.
I've lost loved ones to cancer as well and this news is horrific and sickening. It is just so, so evil to defund cancer research of all things.
We are back to the Friday night trauma surprises. It hasn’t even been a month yet.
There will be many millions out of work. There aren't any easy to get jobs for that many, besides picking crops.
Unemployment up, spending down, ailments circulating ...
Musk & his teenage incels got into the voting machines. He doesn’t need to court votes anymore.
Heartless. Inhumane.
The company is now worth about 20% of what he paid. Not of great interest to most of us, but the fate of important depts is another matter.
Let's hope there are enough scientists left in govt to count the number of excess deaths his actions cost.
The lever.
Luigi was right.
Does he ever actually state a reason for his callousness? I can’t understand the thought process. I know he’s a sadistic monster, but usually politicians offer feeble excuses for the outlandishly bad things they do.
It’s radicalisation.
Is America great yet?
"The Republicans’ health care plan for America: "Don’t get sick." That’s right — don’t get sick....If you get sick, America, the Republican health care plan is this: "Die quickly." That’s right. The Republicans want you to die quickly if you get sick."
you scream at RFK, Trump and Musk
that's all we can do... we all need to scream!
Keep pushing the dem leaders, its RFK not the Dems... The Republicans who are the criminals.
A START:
@elizabeth-warren.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov
@chrismurphyct.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov @aoc.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social
KEEP PRESSURE ON ALL OF THEM!
Scream your voice if you can at them!
Trump/Musk are working to exhaust you, to turn against Dems... it's the Hitler play book, please don't give in?
Hello?
Where is the conservative miracle i was promised.
It’s almost as if this Trump administration is actively trying to kill us.
Because they are.
Cruelty is the point.
Maga, Nazis literally get off on other people’s pain. They are truly sick people.
I just couldn't resist
Anything Joe championed, 47 is targeting
This is Evil.
47 is so very small, a nasty, petty, vindictive narcissist.
He deserves a stage3 diagnosis, endless radio & chemo, finally a painful, undignified death.
This app really needs an eye roll icon. Especially now.
I’m done with these fuckers.
I’ve been keeping my mouth shut about politics with her for years to save our relationship, but I’m done. Can’t do it anymore.
FUCK TRUMP FOR REMOVING FUNDS FOR CANCER RESEARCH
But sadly it will be millions of normal people who pay the price ...and probably with their lives ..
But hey...tax cuts for millionaires...yah
But joking aside we will have to stop spending and tank the economy and take to the streets. The admin is now the cancer and we have to stop it. We can’t let US lose its place in the world and fall behind in medicine and technology.
They WANT people to die.
Ofcourse Jesus didn't return by then and the 'true believers' suffered a very poor pension.
Love,
Peter
Love,
Peter
But remember, they calk the poor, elderly, and disabled the parasite class.
They want us all to die if we can't pay.
I wonder if Mark Cuban's company has it available.
folks like your wife are urged to talk to the drug manufacturer, they often have programs to subsidize treatment
Donald the Cruel is definitely the worst king since George III. It's time we declared our independence, isn't it?
I am so sorry for your husband.
How many vets w/PTSD & TBI are there that they're screwing? I don't think it will be much longer b4 this happens.
Maybe that's where we are now.
They are cheering for destruction of our government and our schools and our heath system and our international alliances and more.
They love it.
There was voter suppression, and Trump, Musk, and his child all openly said that they cheated.
2 Russian oligarchs admit that they helped.
Now, it's up to the justice system and the people to stop them.
There are protests, but they need to get more people out
Brain drain.
While I love the thought of so many scientists finding refuge and research space with our northern neighbors, I also recall that Cuba made cancer progress. Is Cuba an ally now??🤷♀️
A lot of the folks in this administration are fake Christians who think we should all be multiplying like rabbits (if you have a certain, shall we say, _aesthetic_) and the rest think that same aesthetic has a "moral duty" to procreate.
I give them a month MAX without manicures, hairdos, clean clothes, pizza, and sushi before they start imploding
The shitty response and insistence we go back to work well before vaccines were widely available, very much so.
Aimed directly at Biden and his passion for finding a cure.
Perhaps it's only a candle flicker now but in the end there will be a fire.
The whole ship needs to be sinking, so grab a life jacket and find out where the closest tender (life boats) are.
Trump will make us a shit hole if we let him.
GOP CULT is traitors and steers.
Get fucking angry.
Congressional budgets are not subject to targeted impoundments.
Due to stop this illegal activity
More like Stupid
Didn't our parents send our sick pets to the farms outside of town?
JFK jr could have been president.
For example, Bannon has articulated a desire to dismantle the gov structure, stating "I'm a Leninist"). Lenin wanted to destroy the state, & that's my goal, too." This is the challenge, not eggs.
I know that this provides minimal comfort, but please take solace in the fact that your feelings are shared by many during this difficult time.
Keeping a good thought for you.
Cancer sucks.
He kept getting pneumonia like symptoms that prevented him from starting any treatment.
Devastating to be the youngest adult child who was alone with both parents as they passed 8 years apart
I’m not meaning to sound trite but try to have no regrets.
Doing so helps later.
Please read about Vietnam protests! We ended the war by creating chaos.
Declaring Martial Law means an end to elections-& that's EXACTLY what he wants.
It's what he wanted on J6. But we screamed about this & BLM or ANTIFA stayed away.
The only protest we need to be doing are at Tesla & GOP offices in our states.
We need a National Strike.
The outcome would not be good for him.
We may be slow but we are strong.

Hate all of them😡
There are no other pages.
The only problem that needs solving is how to get that bigger slice of the pie. The basic solution is to fuck over anyone by any means. In this case, terminating employment of 300+ people without cause.
I've already lost my parents to trumpism. Now I might lose my wife to his policies.
Just another pile of poorly thought out garbage.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna191851
The point for Trump is always to scream about a problem, do nothing to solve it, make a big show of some infinitesimal effort snd claim victory.
And of course do a bunch of unrelated stuff to enrich himself while everyone is distracted by the circus.
DOGE Will simply announce that unemployment is zero
I’m not rooting against red states, there’s no point
Maga keeps voting against themselves bc disinfo & Maga politicians suppress votes to keep power
Red states will be harder hit but actually think Musk is helping them 😂
Fire the lab analyst who studies cancer-related cellular interactions. Replacement hire is Dave from maintenance at the Ft. Worth Target store. Multiply that by thousands of employees across all Federal depts. Oh, BTW, that’s after they take the Trump oath.
And where is the mass outrage? We have fully devolved into a country of “if-it-is-not-happening-to-me-I-don’t-a-give-shit …..and that is a gift to these monstrous, totalitarian, white Christian oligarchs 💀
You said it all!!
I just added the color commentary- horrible by the minute

One thing you learn over and over again as a Ph.D. is to cite your sources.
It doesn’t really matter that I can find “something” related to this.
What matters here is the intent of the original poster and what information it was based upon.
I just wanted to learn more.
He wasn't suggesting he couldn't find it; he was suggesting that it's easier for the original poster to simply include a link than to expect each of the TWENTY THOUSAND people who have seen the thread to go and search for it themselves.
There is a lot of misinformation flying around and am truly interested in where people get their data.
I won’t post something without a link. Folks should come to their own POVs from the same set of facts.
I don’t hide my name, either.
I agree about sharing sources. BlueSky isn't nearly as bad a X, but I have seen quite a few posts that include no sources and I sometimes find facts have been misrepresented. Yet many people will accept anything that confirms what they already believe.
Hurts me to say …. Against my values and my profession…. But I hope Elon dies a painful death by cancer … ideally Pancreatic cancer. It is fast. From DX to death is >12 months.
Second option, is testicular cancer …. But I suspect Elon has no balls.

Or even better, anus cancer.
I've never wished cancer to anyone before.
Just sayin' why not both?
No Cancer center for him either 😁😉
