But in 1965, LBJ issued exec order 11246 banning discrimination in federal hiring and with federal contractors. That order helped re-build the Black middle class and today DC is home to the nation's most economically thriving Black community. Today, Trump rescinded that landmark order as well.

Section 3(b)(i) of President Trump’s 01/21/25 misleadingly named EO “ending illegal discrimination” provides:
“Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965 (Equal Employment Opportunity), is hereby revoked.” There goes six decades of progress toward justice begun by LBJ.

They…turned off…National Institutes of Health grants? That’s nearly $50 billion of scientific research.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

I was raised in a multi-generational organizing family and I can say with firsthand knowledge that 20th century organizers read theory and they studied history and literature quite closely
The need to do that hasn’t changed
