Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Yesterday was a tough day. Many folks were mad as hll, disheartened & frustrated. It's easy to focus on the Senators who let us down, but let's not forget about the Senators who did the right thing. I made this graphic last night because I wanted to focus on the good Senators who fought for us. 🔊🎵

This is Tellen. She went to work with her human today. The only agenda item on her calendar is dropping toys in the hallway until someone plays with her. 14/10

Musk, frustrated FAA safety standards were slowing down Starship progress, now oversees FAA. Frustrated by FCC compliance, now oversees FCC. Same w/banking. He now has power over the regulatory institutions that are supposed to keep his companies in check. Fox guards henhouse

In the private sector u are accountable to stakeholders, creating profit for them. Capitalist schemes, tricks, shortcuts applauded. In the public sector u are accountable to taxpayers who expect fairness, ethics. Musk is dismantling those mechanisms (oversight); the wolf guarding the henhouse...

Vought is dismantling accessibility. White House webpage is not compliant to the WCAG & already shut down the Spanish language page. After shutting out LGBTQ+, watch Disability Protections fall to the wayside. They're calling these access protections "illegal accessibility policies."

Have you heard of a municipal ID? More cities are offering this form of ID to help residents access services (pick up mail parcel/Rx/report crime), build trust w/cops & promote sense of belonging. No immigrant docs required! Boosts economy, lowers crime. www.policylink.org/blog/municip...
