If you didn't read our comics explainers about the Project 2025 agenda that's in full swing right now, they're sadly still relevant!
Stop Project 2025 Comic
Trump's Project 2025 is a detailed plan to shut you up, and shut you out. Don’t let it do either. Read on, then vote.

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.
5 Calls
Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

Not only that, THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT. Overwhelming you shuts you down. It hurts your ability to resist.
Take care of yourself. Focus on the topics you have capacity to.
Listen to the people who help you think this through.
Take breaks. Listen to your body.
And find community. Most important.

A lot of shit is hitting the fan today so I’m just gonna throw it out there that you don’t have to internalize every single thing and it’s ok to log off and protect your heart. You don’t have to traumatize yourself with the firehouse of monstrous developments.

Trump can authorize this "don't you dare call it a" concentration camp.
The money to build it has to come from somewhere.
Tell your members of Congress not one cent for mass detention camps.

If you’ve been directly impacted by a pause or cancellation of an NIH study session, we @forbes.com would like to talk to you
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Just an FYI for people who may be new to the book banning stuff, when your books are banned it does not mean you’re on “the right side.” It means that your art (and probably you too) is being targeted by right wing extremists for erasure. It means you are being silenced. It’s NOT GOOD.

Some of you know that “civility” is one of my hard “ugh” triggers. This thread will explain why.

Did you see this experiment my colleague Kristina conducted not just at my university but *in my department*? She and the male instructor assumed eachothers’ names for an online course: and the difference in feedback they received was horrifying.
Student Evaluations Can’t Be Used to Assess Professors. They’re Discriminatory.
And that means they’re illegal.
