1. I didn’t buy a Tesla
2. I didn’t do a Nazi Salute
3. I didn’t wield a chainsaw while high on drugs
4. I didn’t get a public tweet that I need to take care of my child’s medical needs
5. I didn’t let my kid wipe a booger on the resolute desk (I would have let the kid wipe the booger on POTUS)

Thanks to all of you amplifying this appalling decision, there is now a very helpful article in @chronicle.com. If you have institutional access, send it to your member of Congress. (I know this may be overtaken by the indirect cost issue but we can push on both.) www.chronicle.com/article/were...

I would love to see a bunch of musical artists and celebrities put on a nationally televised tribute concert for Pres. Jimmy Carter on inauguration day with all proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity.

Nonprofits do vital work.
Groups like the @naacp.bsky.social, ACLU and @hrc.org have led fights for civil rights, voting rights, free speech, and marriage equality.
H.R. 9495 puts these kinds of organizations at risk.
Protecting them is protecting democracy.
