OK, some asks. Reach out via Signal or email, depending on comfort/what’s appropriate — both are in my bio.

DOJ sources: If you can let me know of DRP2 fallout in your area, let me know.

Also: If you have been affected by arts or science funding cuts and are willing to talk, please reach out.

This is an unusual order for several reasons, suggesting the majority thought it necessary. This was issued:
• after midnight
• before the government even responded (perhaps most irregular)
