NEW: When the Trump Admin abruptly cancelled almost all USAID programs, it also refused to pay $2bln the U.S. govt owes **for work that’s been done.**

This cancer researcher was studying LGBTQ+ people. Her work is now in limbo.
Mandi Pratt-Chapman of the George Washington Cancer Center said Trump’s directives threaten to erase years of scientific work.
On Jan. 31, Pratt-Chapman was notified that funding for her research on LGBTQ+ cancer data collection had been terminated.
As a consequence, the ability to do science for an entire generation could be lost, she said. Read her interview with @bcrodriguez.bsky.social here

My thoughts on Americans’ interest in the #4B movement: a reactionary fantasy—what seems to me like TERF libertarianism—based on the bad faith gender binary intended to punish men with no real strategy or interest in creating collective feminist communities:
