Yeah the courts are just going to rule “what immediate harm is it causing?” And then allow them to continue.

Judge Chutkan literally ruled against the AG’s the other day for the same exact type of case. The TRO won’t be approved because you can’t prove immediate harm to those departments from the terminations.

Thank you for demonstrating the power of municipal leadership, Mayor Wu. ✊🏾

We are seeking a temporary restraining order against the Trump Administration's attack on the National Institutes of Health, alongside the research universities, medical schools, hospitals, and 22 states that are plaintiffs in the three cases filed last week in federal district court.

Boston joins with cities across the country in red states, purple states, and blue states to stop this illegal action that will cause layoffs, lab closures, and undermine scientific progress.

Thank you to @massago.bsky.social for her leadership on behalf of the research institutions of Boston.

Yes, I am glad Massachusetts voters elected Andrea Campbell rather than following your petty grievances in that campaign.

Punishment is the motive: The “Science Districts” are the Blue areas of the country - 128 Corridor in Mass, Cal Train Peninsula, D.C. Institutes, University oases…etc.
