I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

If you’re in an institution doing any kind of DEI work, the most important thing to do right now is simply call it something else. Change it to “Community Outreach” & then keep on doing the same important work. When they outlaw Community Outreach rebrand it as “Strategic Partnerships,” rinse/repeat.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.
Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

A simple strategy from @protectdemocracy.org to help us sort through manufactured chaos and spot the threats to democracy that really matter. ⬇️
Authoritarianism wants you to feel like you’re drowning in chaos — headlines of breaking news, after breaking news. Here are 4️⃣ questions you can ask yourself to help spot genuine threats to our democracy.

![Is the action tangible, actionable, and detailed? Or intangible, abstract, and vague?
When [Trump] leaves the details vague, we, collectively, cannot help ourselves. We try to fill them in. But — if Trump’s past promises are any guide — intangibility is a pretty good indicator that a proposal is a less-than-pressing concern.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4fvbdr5zqt7b74qllyg2vdit/bafkreibvgyxmsqaz6lk5lwbxd747jhmbphuj6j3zhwfyttnhvrkh53snva@jpeg)
![Does this action target the opposition in a way that may cause anticipatory obedience?
By targeting individual politicians, companies, civil servants, nonprofits, donors, media outlets, and journalists, [Trump] can cow hundreds or thousands of others into a more submissive and defensive posture.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4fvbdr5zqt7b74qllyg2vdit/bafkreid7mpvpd6vghi3e2dbmkzcrkmden3lg5vvfan6ckt7affhn5dg7o4@jpeg)
