I spoke with several leading archaeologists to better understand the impact recent federal funding cuts will have on archaeology in the US. The future doesn’t look good.

Last February, I led a proposal submission that encompassed six months, hundreds of hours, four institutions, a massive team, and and 256 pages. NSF just informed us that the entire Biology Integration Institute program was archived and our proposal would not even be reviewed.

The Trump administration’s order to dismantle key federal agencies threatens funding for libraries, museums, and small businesses. Today I joined a coalition of 21 attorneys general to sue and stop this unlawful attack on resources that Marylanders and communities nationwide rely on.

It's ironic that today's US right--a movement that grew out of the white hot rage that an array of reactionary Americans felt toward FDR's progressivism--will soon be arguing, as good originalists, that Trump doesn't have to abide by the amendment added to the Constitution to prevent another FDR.

Misogyny is at the core of these types of smear campaigns targeting women, yet media coverage consistently and intentionally avoids naming it. www.usermag.co/p/blake-live...
