The Trump administration illegally deported a man who is a legal resident of this country to El Salvador.

This man fled persecution from El Salvador in 2011, and had a court order from 2019 that protected him from being deported there.

He was sent to a dangerous prison where the torture of prisoners is reported to be a regular occurrence. And now, despite admitting to their error, this administration is stating that they might not even be able to bring him home.

Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia is a productive member of society with a wife and a five-year-old special needs child. He needs to be brought home promptly and safely.

This is not the first time that they have removed legal citizens. They promised you that they would only remove undocumented folks. They lied. Speak out, please.

Trump may be about to sign the death sentence of the National Institute of Health, and, by extension, the Office of Lab Animal Welfare.

He gutted research animal protections.

Any vertebrate that isn't a mammal will have no rights.

Neither will mice or rats.

If NIH grants are stopped, researchers can't pay anyone. They can't perform research. They can't pay for veterinary services.

They won't be required to provide veterinary services.

The only medical research that will happen will be self funded by big pharma, and they can torture the animals and skew all the lab results that they want.

Just like Musk did to the primates in his neuralink research.

I don't know what's going to happen to me or anyone else at the university where I work. My job is to make sure the animals are treated humanely and to provide veterinary care. I'm especially scared about what's going to happen to those research animals if veterinary staff gets laid off. The USDA only covers mammals, and it doesn't even cover all of them. Every rat I've ever made a tiny paper gift box full of marshmallows for, every mouse I've ever watched grow up, every rodent I've ever separated from an aggressive dominant brother and then treated their tiny wounds, they have no protections if NIH goes down. Decades of research into humane handling, euthanasia, and animal behavior will be tossed aside and wasted.

Please, do everything you can. Protest. Contact your representatives. Anything you can do. Do it for science, for medicine, for people's lives, for people's jobs, and for the animals.

Edit: thank you to everyone who's spreading this, but please reblog the updated reblog that I have pinned to my profile. The NIH is no longer frozen, but "indirect expenses" limits is just as big a threat to lab animal welfare, scientific integrity, and people's jobs as an NIH freeze.

Stay vigilant. While Trump is popping off about Canada, Greenland, and Mexico, Republican Andy Biggs has introduced House Resolution 7.

This line, "Whereas health care for women should also address the needs of men, families, and communities as they relate to women’s health care," implies that men could potentially dictate women's healthcare; for example, a woman might not be able to use birth control without her husband's permission.

I know that a few states still require written spousal consent for sterilization, and I am concerned that this bill could introduce the same concept for smaller healthcare decisions.

The primary focus of healthcare should be the patient, not the people surrounding them.

EDIT: Since I've shared this, a new bill to Ban Abortion nationally was proposed. Please share.
