TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

AG's across the country need to know how their constituents feel. Too important to ignore. Your state?👇 Give 'em a call.

Yes, I know NYT played the story prominently on its homepage for a while yesterday. But its print play is a more deliberate sign of what it thinks is important. This is a 5-alarm fire, with a racist criminal running the country. Responsible news orgs need to act like that's a huge problem. 2/🧵

The Trump Administration has turned the NEH into a slush fund for the president’s political agenda — and the communities across this country that rely on fair, competitive grants are the ones paying the price.

I know it's frustrating when lawyers point out when something the administration is doing is not legal. But responding with "the law doesn't matter anymore" is really unhelpful and defeatist. Clarifying the law is important because it reminds us not to comply in advance and to resist and take action
