Writersky is talking about writers and ages again, so it bears repeating: there is no expiration date on writers except for death. Up until your last day, you can be writing, you can be published, you can be produced, you can sell. There's no "Too late." Only you can decide when your done.

NOW: More than 98% of #Costco shareholders have just rejected an anti-DEI measure
The attempt to force Costco to audit their #DEI work was by an anti-inclusion lobby group:
"The proponent's broader agenda is not reducing risk for the Company but abolition of diversity initiatives." - Costco Board

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.
I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

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.

1. For House members,
2. For Senators,
3. For New Yorkers to call Schumer.
Please call.

![Script for House members about HR 9495 (11.16.2024)
YOU: Hi, my name is [name]. I’m calling from [zip].
YOU: I’m calling on [HOUSE MEMBER] to vote NO to HR 9495 when it comes back to the floor again next week. The changes to the bill aren’t enough to address all previous concerns regarding it creating new powers that would be ripe for abuse.
YOU: While HR 9495’s core aim of supporting wrongfully detained U.S. nationals is sound, the bill would still empower any Secretary of the Treasury with a tool that would give them broad discretionary powers, which could easily become a threat to free speech and a violation of due process.
INCLUDE FOR HOUSE DEMS WHO VOTED YES LAST TIME (OPTIONAL): I know House member voted YES last time, and I’m calling on them to vote no this time. HR 9495’s core aims can be separated out. It shouldn’t move forward in a bill that would give unchecked powers to the Trump Administration. This isn’t sound policy.
YOU: And again, there’s already federal stature which makes it illegal for non-profit groups to fund terrorist groups. This reinvents the wheel for purposes that don’t make sense.
YOU: I am calling on [HOUSE MEMBER] to vote no.
YOU: [OPTIONAL COMMENTS - clarify if you want a response]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vdabazxnghujbebpi2ektqgi/bafkreid7zrdvrxasjezr3texukc7rxjucbl5je3hyfebwllykipygj4yne@jpeg)

YOU: There’s already federal stature which makes it illegal for non-profit groups to fund terrorist groups. This reinvents the wheel for purposes that don’t make sense, and gives broad powers to the Executive Branch.
FOR GOP SENATORS (OPTIONAL): And do we really want to make government more expansive? I thought the goal was to streamline government?

![SCRIPT FOR NEW YORKERS TO CALL SCHUMER ON NOT MOVING FORWARD WITH THE BILL (11.16.2024)
YOU: Hi, my name is [name], and I’m calling from [zip].
YOU: I’m calling on Senator Schumer to not move forward with bringing HR 9495 to the Senate floor for a vote, should I make it through the House this upcoming week.
YOU: While HR 9495’s core aim of supporting wrongfully detained U.S. nationals is logical, the bill would grant any Secretary of the Treasury excessive discretionary powers. This creates a significant risk to free speech and could easily result in violations of due process. The bill shouldn’t move forward under any circumstances.
YOU: Allowing this bill to advance would set a dangerous precedent, especially with the unchecked powers it could offer to a future Trump Administration. This isn’t responsible or sound policy.
YOU: I urge Senator Schumer to ensure that this bill to not move forward with this bill.

As someone who grew up with a bully for a father, this is absolutely true and very insightful:
"Part of how they make you obey is by making obedience seem peaceful, while resistance is violence. But really, either choice is about violence, one way or another.”
