Because I’ve got time, I’m going to highlight any district with over 3% of their residents employed by the federal government and their representatives. Maybe you live there. Maybe your family does. You don’t want higher unemployment in your area. Let’s go!

Look, the most important pushback happening to defend higher ed right now is coming from AAUP and other unions. Not management. Not boards. Not donors. Join. If you don’t have a chapter, start one. If you’re Nevada faculty anywhere in NSHE join @nvfa.bsky.social, join the fight.

Today at the volunteer-staffed tax clinic for Minnesota families earning less than $70k…all the customers vocalized anger about Trump to one another. Mad about researchers, mad about the four star general, mad about cuts to park rangers. Just mad.

Absolutely BONKERS announcement from ProQuest/Clarivate this morning. Our entire acquisitions strategy is being upended with this change. Fewer choices for content providers, fewer options for digital ownership, further erosion of the first sale doctrine, and MONOPOLIES ARE BAD FOR LIBRARIES!!!

The IRS was a simple test for DOGE: was it really interested in efficiency and state capacity? If so, you support the tax enforcement, the biggest ROI in govt. Or did it want to minimize parts of the state that bothered billionaires? We have our answer. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...
