59% of banned books were children’s books featuring diverse characters or nonfiction books about historical figures, according to a new study. Authors of color wrote 39% of the books even though authors of color make up just 10% of U.S. authors #Booksky #BlackSky
Most US book bans target children’s literature featuring diverse characters and authors of color
The number of book bans in the US has soared in recent years. A new study shines light on which types of books and authors are the main targets.

Years ago my stepson was learning to paint when and left a lot of extra paint on the pallet. So I used it up to make a few smaller pieces..

#OTD on January 28, 1918, Texas Rangers massacred fifteen men and boys at the village of Porvenir, Texas, in what is perhaps the single most notorious and consequential event in the history of the Ranger Force. /1

Without govt funding you simply don't have the community of scientists scattered across the US that helped the US to take the lead in scientific development in the 20th century!
Members of Congress should be all over how this affects their districts!

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Just tried to get to a health equity page on fda after seeing this and had similar issue. One thing to make clear is that ignoring equity issues in health will not make Americans healthier.
All HHS Health Equity pages have been archived. References to White House executive orders safeguarding human rights for populations now display the infamous code 404 "page not found"😓 Psychological (and physical) safety will be even more challenging. Yet, from grief comes advocacy and action.
