If anyone's looking for an easy way to reach out to their Congress folk, RESISTbot is still working. Text RESIST to 50409 or go to resist.bot and you can quickly compose an email, fax, or letter to your reps. I sent a hotly worded screed about the admin's attacks on science & got an actual reply

First stanza of a 2021 poem that is holding true:
I go to sleep angry
dream of you dragging
us both off with your teeth
my mind has old habits
like and oft recited tome
I can’t decide if I want to be alone or take comfort that
we are all fucked
not equally, not exactly

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

I work in research grant writing for a university. As of yesterday 3 grants in progress were removed from federal sites and programs canceled funding undergraduate research in neuroscience and providing HIV/AIDS meds to unsheltered people. The attack on science is real.

I wrote “Two Weeks Into The New Administration” in January 2017. Appears in 2024 issue of Tule Review, a Northern California literary magazine. The poem still holds true today. Same as it ever was. #poetry #PoetrySky #Trump
