It seems worth a FOIA to the NNSA/DOE (presumably DOE Office of Classification to start) about the frequency & descriptions of Energy doing things like ‘raising concerns’ & having material removed/precluded from entry into public via personal work (non-gov/non-energy).

I can’t speak to this or 1/2

Oil was $65.21 on Feb 28.
Today: $108.62.
+66.6% in 9 days 🤯

Biggest price spike since 1983. Paid at the pump. Paid forever.

$11,500/sec. 1,650 civilians dead. 194 children.

The meter is running.

No, calling him a kid takes away responsibility for his actions.

The crimes of too many young white men are excused because "they're just kids." They aren't. They have the responsibility of adults and the culpability of adults.

Unless if they've made an effort to undo their mess, then they haven't changed at all. Apologies mean nothing when they've killed people with their actions, they're just trying to escape accountability.

Some have apparently actually mended their ways after literally growing up on the job.

The others? Their co-workers are documenting what they do in preparation for whacking them the second conditions change.

Somehow the use of the LLM makes it all the more enraging, this literally high-powered (CPU-burning, fossil-fuel-burning) technology used to basically do a keyword search, adding no refinement or expertise, just augmenting ignorance in the service of destroying knowledge-making processes

These cancellations were so much more horrible for other people than for me personally, as my fellowship was coming to an end. Huge losses to hundreds of people and dozens of long term projects and ongoing relationships. The loss to humanities has been incalculable

As evidence, the filing notes a list Mr. Fox compiled of what he called the "craziest" and "other bad" grants, which he planned to highlight on DOGE's X account. He used three dozen keywords, including
"L.G.B.T.Q.""BIPOC," "tribal, "ethnicity,"
"gender," "equality," "immigration
"citizenship" and "melting pot." (A majority of the two dozen grants deemed "craziest" related to L.G.B.T.Q. subjects.)
In the deposition, Mr. Fox said the list reflected his "subjective" judgment about whether a grant might be out of line with Mr. Trump's executive order.
"Crazy' is one way of saying it," he said.
"Most incriminating' is another way."

Why did I think they simply canceled all of them. Nope it was discriminatory

When DOGE Unleashed ChatGPT on the Humanities

Huge NYT article on the back story of those two weeks in March/April 2025 when DOGE illegally terminated hundreds of NEH grants. Gift link!!

Screenshot of my DOGE letter “Dr. Joseph Rezek
Dear NEH Grantee,
This letter provides notice that the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is terminating your federal grant (Grant Application No. FEL29509824) effective April 3, 2025, in accordance with the termination clause in your Grant Agreement.
Your grant no longer effectuates the agency's needs and priorities and conditions of the Grant
Agreement and is subject to termination due to several reasonable causes, as outlined in 2CFR§200.340.
For instance, NEH has reasonable cause to terminate your grant in light of the fact that the NEH is repurposing its funding allocations in a new direction in furtherance of the President's agenda. The President's February 19, 2025 executive order mandates that the NEH eliminate all non-statutorily required activities and functions. See Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy, E.O. 14217 (Feb. 19, 2025). Your grant's immediate termination is necessary to safeguard the interests of the federal government, including its fiscal priorities. Any objections or appeals to this termination will be managed in strict accordance with the President's Executive Orders,

Last year, this guy (left) from DOGE used ChatGPT to find NEH grants that were too “DEI” for Trump, and canceled them, including mine, as shown by the letter I received last April (right). Huge new NYT article on the back story link below

As for the head of the agency tasked with promoting the humanities…

“…about the 1873 massacre in Colfax, La., where dozens of Black men were murdered by a mob of former Confederates and Ku Klux Klan members.

ChatGPT had deemed it “D.E.I.” Mr. Fox said he agreed. “Because it focuses on exclusively anti-Black violence, which is a race,” he said.”
