Social media posts have promoted the anti-parasitic drug for cancer and Covid. That has doctors alarmed.

We came together in response to recent attacks on academic freedom and DEI, and now to the deportations. We are focused on making visible how higher ed is fighting back, and on encouraging others to fight. We started with this letter: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

IMLS, the primary source of federal support for U.S. libraries and museums, is one of seven independent agencies that President Donald Trump wants to dismantle because he believes what they do is “unnecessary.” scim.ag/4iryNlY

Lovers of books, community, and literacy, please rise up to protect our libraries. 💙📚

President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders.

Read ALA's full response: www.ala.org/news/2025/03...
ALA response to White House assault on IMLS To dismiss the mission of an agency that advances opportunity and learning is to dismiss the aspirations and everyday needs of millions of Americans. And those who will feel that loss most keenly live in rural communities.  As seedbeds of literacy and innovation, our nation’s 125,000 public, school, academic and special libraries deserve more, not less support. Libraries translate 0.003% of the federal budget into programs and services used by more than 1.2 billion people every year.

Sharing my morning SUFS Discord announcement with everyone, because I think we all need to be reminded that when we stand up together, there is ALWAYS hope.

#standupforscience
#scienceeqdemocracy
Good morning brilliant science activists! Yesterday was a tough day with the cloture/CR vote. I know many of us are feeling a lot of negative emotions (sorry, it’s the clinical psychologist in me, I had to). We have a big, long, hairy fight ahead of us. It’s SO important to take care of yourself, and really soak in any joy where you can find it. Celebration and joy are acts of resistance. The point of the barrage of EO’s, change, mayhem is to overwhelm opposition into silence. To make any opposers feel powerless. But we are NOT powerless. This type of authoritarianism is predicated on passive acceptance of a majority of the population—not active support. There are a LOT of active resisters! Resistance can be big and small. You can tap out when you need a second to catch your breath, and tap back in when you’re ready. If you feel hopeless today, I have a reservoir of hope you can tap into. Be mad, be sad, but don’t be hopeless. Because as long as we stand up together, as long as we resist and fight together, there is ALWAYS hope ❤️
