I am so proud to be the Director of the International Institute of American Studies at my university.

I asked who put out this contraband display, and the office staff told me “every month we display books for different groups, it’s business as usual.🤷‍♀️”

Right on!💪💪💪

There's no way that Trump & Musk are ordering each & every one of the actions agencies are taking.

Lower-level officials are trying to imagine specific things they think Trump & Musk would like & putting them into effect.

In Germany, it was called "working toward the Führer."

This is a perilous moment for lawyers in federal service.
Stories of resistance from within can help.

This book tells of lawyers who helped run the Japanese American camps of WWII.

We can learn from their struggles to reconcile job with conscience.

Would you please share?

Heard from inside the National Cancer Institute, part of NIH — travel through April is canceled. Purchasing with government card is frozen. All public comms are off limits. Can’t even submit abstracts to future meetings. Can’t submit *manuscripts* for publication. All hiring activity frozen. Fuck.
