The sheer volume of time and energy being spent by thousands of university-based researchers in *every* field right now to figure out if their funding will exist next month or next year, if their careers can even continue… just citing dollar values doesn’t do it justice, it is full-scale upheaval.

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

Actually call your reps now to try to prevent the EO from even happening
If and when the Dept of ED executive order comes, I want everyone to call their reps to complain about how it will ruin their economies.
Why focus on economies? Because they don’t care about the altruistic nature of education.
But they do care about the economic outlook of their districts/states.

New via NYT — The CIA sent the White House an unclassified email listing all employees hired by the spy agency over the last two years to comply with an executive order to shrink the federal work force. One former agency officer called the reporting of names a “counterintelligence disaster.”

Cis men truly need to understand the power of saying “that’s fucked up bro why would you say that” to another cis man
The responsibility for resisting and correcting this behavior shouldn’t fall solely on a specific gender. If you’re a man of conscience and you see another man mimicking Nick Fuentes, fuck him up on sight before the women even get a chance. I mean that.

I guess he missed the history class where they went over why the FDIC was created.
Nothing big happened as a catalyst to its creation. Just widespread financial institution failures which amplified during the Great Depression. No biggie.
