The rationale is familiar; these programs are "not in the best interest of the Federal Government." This determination is astonishingly short-sighted and will have deep ramifications for the US's already difficult engagements with the rest of the world.

WTF am I supposed to do with this dialogue box? Which of “Cancel" and "Turn Off” means "continue”???
A macOS 26 dialogue box reading “If you continue, items will be removed from the Desktop and the Documents folder on this Mac and will remain available in iCloud Drive. New items added to your Desktop or your Documents folder on this Mac will no longer be stored in iCloud Drive.” Two buttons are presented: Cancel and Turn Off. Grrrrr.

MLA, @acls1919.bsky.social, & @historians.org are pleased by the injunction in the Author's Guild case, preventing reallocation of grant funds, but are disappointed in the ruling on our injunction. We remain steadfast in working to stop the unlawful dismantling of the NEH. www.mla.org/NEH-Lawsuit
We will continue to press the argument—in court, with Congress, and with the public—that the NEH remains a critical agency for American democracy, history, literature, languages, philosophy, politics, society, and culture.
