President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders.

The #Trump effect
Serbian police raided the premises of 3 prominent #USAID-supported #NGOs, as part of a probe into allegations of "abuse" of USAID funds in the country
This was a blatant act of intimidation & the latest in a persistent campaign by Serbian authorities to silence critical voices

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

One of the reasons that we chose to write our big report on mass deportations is that nobody was asking these questions.
