This is how the US is now.

And those of us in minority groups feel the sharp & pointy end of that first. Can I get employment? Maybe, maybe not. But then to do so I end up masking who I am, & providing my labour to who? For what? Companies hellbent on supporting the fascist regime? Local businesses so in thrall of the Maga cult that they wave Trump flags, have inflatable effigies of him and display their congrats to him on LED signs while coal-rolling? Or AI tech bros trying to get blood from a stone?

Although I do have a potential job lined up, I have my doubts about its viability for me. It only starts in a few months after I get training which itself is waiting for bureaucracy.

A bureaucracy being set on fire.

PubMed is the Library of Medicine, offering free access to a vast collection of research papers. Sometimes, we want to dive deeper into a certain topic, and PubMed serves as an excellent resource for reliable information. #cmu260 #tools
