A source familiar with the process estimated that for every 3 days of postponed meetings, $1 billion of NIH funding is put on hold. That’s $1 billion dollars of research on diseases that kill people every day. And this is how they’re going to “Make America Healthy Again.”

The current/popular usage of "FAFO" is a distillation of neo/conservative politics of desert, wherein negative outcomes are attributed to individual failings &, as such, the affected parties are deemed undeserving of the remedies for said outcomes.

The people who would be most harmed by the closures of financially precarious colleges and universities are poor people, first generation students, people of color, and students with caretaking responsibilities
That is who your small/no endowment schools disproportionately serve

I’ll end by saying I absolutely want kids to do more physical activity that they enjoy and can engage in throughout their lives. But just bringing back the fitness test isn’t gonna do that

Including sit ups, supermans, and a sit and reach. Europeans were likely better because they did these things with the calisthenics/ gymnastics that they did in schools

It also was started after WW1 when we were worried about keeping up with the Russians in the Cold War, all because American children did worse than European children on the Kraus-Weber (or minimum muscle) fitness test. Which btw is easier for those who regularly engage in the tested exercises

lol there are 300 studies that reveal the same thing over and over: holding talents and skills fixed, companies will still hire white people because they're white.
How exactly is that meritocratic? (Spoiler: It's not)

They tried this 💩 in the first admin, proposing cuts of indirects to 10%, and it was resisted by Congress
Call your congresspeople, and remind them they have defended health research before, and they can do so again

What I heard today from our reps in DC is that members of Congress, on both sides of the aisle, are shocked.
