The Trump admin ordered a freeze on federal grants for aid programs, but a judge partially blocked it following lawsuits. In this OpEd, @dyanamason.bsky.social & Mirae Kim discuss the role of federal funding in the functioning of nonprofits. @us.theconversation.com

Contact your members of Congress about the illegal impoundment of grants and contracts by President Trump - many of which will impact nonprofit organizations providing emergency relief, educational programs and health and human services. www.councilofnonprofits.org/pressrelease...

There are #nonprofits at the center of nearly every news story. This one - alleged financial mismanagement - is a serious concern for the former executive of a multimillion dollar veteran's organization.

Wait, isn't that a "conflict of interest"? (raising hand and speaking from side of mouth).

In my department at @universityoforegon.bsky.social, we hold a drop-in brunch for students during or right before finals week. This year, we also enjoyed a harp performance by faculty.

Trump is slipping farther and farther below 50%. He now leads by only 1.6%—and his vote advantage is under 2.5M. One of the narrower victories of the last 100 years of American politics, and any journalist or politico using the term mandate probably needs to retire from their profession immediately.

This is an echo of the general election. The trans Democrat is blamed for "sparking" the crisis despite the fact she did nothing beyond be herself. Before she arrived to DC, or made any demands, the GOP preemptively turned her identity into a political issue. So, who is doing identity politics?

Friends, our new Secretary of Education. This cabinet is filled with loyalists, friends and D-listers.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish. Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part. Who’s with me?
