oh good they’re doing Lavender Scare II
“In the US Department of Agriculture, multiple people have been asked to report the names of LGBTQ employee resource group leaders to higher-ranking officials, according to interviews with workers and a document reviewed by Mother Jones.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
LGBTQ federal workers brace for a McCarthyist purge
"They’re not asking people, ‘Are you gay? Are you lesbian?’ They’re asking, ‘Who is participating in DEI?'"

People are often inclined to think that, if they’ve done nothing “wrong,” they won’t get caught up in the government’s surveillance dragnet. But in simply exercising your First Amendment right to criticize the Trump administration, you, too, could be placed under government watch.
As Suppression of Dissent Increases, Know Your Rights If the FBI Comes Knocking
The FBI is hassling Palestine activists. ICE is compiling dossiers on those who criticize it. Let’s know our rights.

98% of NIH grants that should have gone out this month, didn't. Despite court orders 'unfreezing' the funds, they are frozen. Biomedical research will grind to a halt. Clinical trials will end. All for no reason: the total impact on the US budget is miniscule

BREAKING: Judge McConnell in Rhode Island — who previously blocked the funding freeze in the states' challenge — issued a follow-up order at the states' request, including specifically restoring "appropriated funds" in the Inflation Reduction Act and infrastructure act and resuming NIH funding.

My sense is that USDA payments are safer than most, though Politico reported recently that payments for organic programs and the climate smart partnerships is on hold. I think FSA is less at risk than NRCS which administers the working land programs and the IRA climate money. Safer - not safe…
USDA pauses 2 organic programs, leaving farmers on the hook for millions
Officials have also not released funds for the $3.1 billion Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities program.
