It isn't news that there's nothing very democratic about philanthropy in the USA but as @ncrpcommunity.bsky.social found out it turns out there is a sizable, committed, explicitly anti-democratic element in USA philanthropy, too. New today ⬇️

It's not "saving," and especially not "waste." Media is doing such a disservice by falling for that canard. Saving by eliminating waste means same (or better) benefits for less money. These are illegal payment stops with downsides. Like "saving" money by not getting your kids' necessary medication.

@ncrpcommunity.bsky.social looked at government grants (990 Part 8 Line 1e) data for orgs whose missions included "legal aid" and similar key phrases and found something unsurprising: the federal funding freeze means many, many poor and working class people will lose access to legal resources.

i don't get the sense that any of the aides, consultants, advisors, or spokes quoted (many namelessly!) here are doing anything that might engender in their benefactors something resembling a fucking BACKBONE since that might jeopardize their access to riches... www.nytimes.com/2025/02/16/u...

cant say enough how brave it is to speak truth to power in an ohio run by an unscrupulous machine built to turn mass resentment into kickbacks for energy companies but sadly i think most of the elected republicans who hear this will think to themselves "good riddance to another troublemaker"

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted. Yet somehow Musk isn't.

the v wealthy using purse power to groom, prune, and shape USA civil society to their liking is not new. when a president does it in the name of radically remaking civil society in his image it starts to look like Court Politics. if you're new to ""philanthropic"" power, welcome to hell!!!

"Similar directives have come from leaders in China, Hungary, Russia, and the Soviet Union" good on @chronphilanthropy.bsky.social for spotlighting the comparative context here. many in USA civil society have yet to wake out of an exceptionalist stupor (tocqueville tranq'd)

@ncrpcommunity.bsky.social looked into this question too and drilled down to issue- and population-specific nonprofits based on 990 mission keywords - what we found was similarly concerning given the ongoing lawless funding freeze. more this week -> bsky.app/profile/ncrp...
