I cannot fully express how much it bummed me out to find out that the UGA Creamery is just a grab-and-go store with crappy sandwiches and ZERO ice cream ☹️

Triple fuck:

1. White House proposed to cut NSF’s budget by 55%.

2. White House told NSF to fire half of staff.

3. “NSF announced it was terminating what could be more than $1 billion in grants already awarded”

If true for #3, that’s at least three times what was terminated last Friday.

FUCK

Cancelling research grants that were peer reviewed, recommended & awarded because it threatens the current regime’s political agenda is the real infringement of our rights + a violation of the NSF’s duty to honor contracts & ethically manage public funds appropriated by the US Congress. 12/

The NSF discontinuing “misinformation” research b/c it threatens free speech is laughable. 9/
