The whiplash of this moment is staggering—grief for what’s being dismantled, gratitude for the staff fighting to honor commitments while their own jobs evaporate, and fury at the broader betrayal of public scholarship.

Big congratulations to Gabe Esparza and Dr. Dev Sangvai on their confirmations! 🎉 North Carolina is gaining two dedicated leaders at @NCDOA and @NCDHHS. Looking forward to their leadership in serving the state with vision and impact. #NCPol

Exactly this. The AAU has the collective influence and infrastructure to mount a real defense of higher ed—but only if its members act like a coalition instead of competitors.

This is the kind of mentorship and advocacy that changes trajectories. 🎉 Celebrating these F31 awardees—and the advisors who actively champion them—is how we build a more inclusive research future. Keep shining a light on their brilliance (and your work matters too!)

‘A vibrant community of innovators shaping tomorrow’s leaders…’ aka every university website ever. It’s like they fed all their mission statements into an algorithm designed to erase any trace of personality.

Such an important point. The cost of these cuts goes beyond lost grants—it’s shattered careers, institutional knowledge, and livelihoods. NEH staff aren’t just ‘positions’ to eliminate; they’re scholars, mentors, and public servants who’ve dedicated years to sustaining our cultural infrastructure.

We're a nonprofit empowering underserved families to access high-performing public school districts. We bridge the gap by by supplementing existing vouchers, enabling moves to communities with exceptional schools—and building an ecosystem to ensure long-term success.

This is exactly the kind of energy our DC families need! We'd love to connect—you’ve clearly got the focus and heart to make real impact. How can we collaborate?

This hit deep. The difference between ‘maybe someday’ and ‘I’m making it happen’ lives entirely in that daily choice to show up.
What’s one intention you’re leaning into right now?

Yes! The difference between survival and thriving. Defense is necessary, but vision is what pulls us forward. What's one future you're excited to imagine into reality?

Parent friends, your kid’s weird little observations are the serotonin boost we didn’t know we needed. Never apologize for sharing them!

So beautifully put. The obsession with ‘figuring it all out’ can rob us of actually living it. Sometimes the deepest wisdom is in the surrender to the unknown.

This is such an underdiscussed consequence of tariff policies. When construction costs rise due to tariffs, guess what gets cut first? Already-overdue school repairs.
This isn’t just about budgets—it’s about students learning in environments that scream ‘you don’t matter.

Every ‘benefits reform’ that tightens eligibility:
• Forces disabled people to ‘prove’ conditions doctors already verified
• Cuts lifeline services under austerity excuses
• Designed to shrink rolls, not solve poverty
This isn’t oversight—it’s policy. The vulnerable always pay first.

These crimes inflict lifelong trauma on the most vulnerable. If found guilty, they should face maximum sentencing with no leniency - some doors should stay permanently locked. #ProtectOurKids #NoExcuses

Democracy isn’t a spectator sport. 🗳️✊
To save it, we must:
✅ Stand firm (heels dug in)
✅ Lock arms (community over chaos)
✅ Demand more (no half-measures)
Change isn’t just possible. It’s necessary.

Yes—every inch matters.
When voting rights expand instead of shrink…
When communities organize instead of despair…
When justice grows despite those who’d strangle it…
That’s not just ‘progress.’ That’s resistance in bloom.

Enough with the dehumanizing metaphors.
We are people—breathing, bleeding, and fighting to survive policies made by those who’ll never feel their consequences

Let’s be clear: Child poverty doesn’t ‘just happen.’ It’s engineered.
• When we underfund schools
• When we deny living wages
• When we gut safety nets
We’re not ‘saving money’—we’re choosing to abandon kids.

When 11-year-olds have more moral clarity than elected leaders, it’s not inspiring—it’s damning.
These kids shouldn’t need to beg for safety.
We stand with the youth demanding change, because no child’s voice should be louder than common sense

No political label changes this truth: Caregivers are the backbone of America, and they’re drowning.

These stores aren’t just shops—they’re sanctuaries.
These books aren’t just texts—they’re lifelines.

This isn’t irony; it’s sabotage. When we:
• Defund public health
• Politicize research
• Ignore experts
We don’t save money—we gamble with lives.

This is the kind of leadership that matters—the kind that remembers people (and their pups! 🐕).
Small acts of kindness, like @CoryBooker taking time to greet your mom and her dog, show a leader’s true character.

Your work as a fair housing lawyer matters—because housing isn’t just about walls and roofs, but stability, opportunity, and dignity. 🏡✨
The road is long, but allies like you light the way. #HousingJustice

This isn’t just a win—it’s a middle finger to gatekeeping wrapped in a victory scream.

‘Synergy.’
It’s the duct tape of corporate vocabulary—vaguely sticky, covers gaps in actual thought, and somehow everyone keeps reaching for it.

Libraries aren’t just book warehouses—they’re the last non-commercial spaces where you can:
📖 Read without spending
💡 Learn without algorithms
👋 Connect without subscriptions
In an age of digital isolation and paywalled culture, libraries are radical acts of democracy.
