Not Jeremy's point, but the life expectancy for Natives hasn't budged while others are increasing. My dad (Inupiaq) just celebrated his 88th bday, he's such a trendsetter

The layoffs will affect at least 2,600 fed employees in the Dept of Interior, 118 BIA employees, 40 BIE employees.
This "after two weeks of intense lobbying...by Native(s)...that addressed education, housing, health, public safety, justice, gaming, taxation, agriculture and environmental issues."

Since I have way more non-academic followers than I ever would have imagined: a short explainer.
TL;DR: Substantially cutting indirect costs will either mean raising tuition and fees, or laying off a bunch of mid- and low-salary staff and students.

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.
![Hi, my name is [NAME], I'm a constituent in [ZIP CODE]. I'm calling because I saw that [TERRIBLE THING] is happening. I think this is appalling. [PERSONAL STORY, if you have one.] I want you to do everything you can to stop this. I will remember your actions when I cast my next vote. Thank you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hwmmdl5nok26w3zhmg2d3fvt/bafkreigihtf5o2suhsnecpwijziyhsmxflvzzogbjre2okvstqagg6bw6y@jpeg)

Today would be a good day to call your reps (every day is a good day to call your reps). Find out who represents you here:
www.congress.gov/members/find...
Calling is best, but you can also email or fax. Make sure you give them your zip code and let them know you are a constituent. 🧵

Is anyone on here also on Storygraph? I'm switching to that since Goodreads is owned by Amazon and so far I love it. The graphs bring joy to my nerdy heart. #booksky
