Read This When Things Fall Apart Letters to Activists in Crisis

A couple of weeks ago I skeeted “let's repeat to each other — like prayers — the things that enable us to keep going.”

Then @mskellymhayes.bsky.social announced her forthcoming collection which is…yes—exactly what we (I) need in this moment.

Preordered (of course) & more than one copy. 💛

Experts worry that DEIA bans are part of a push to undo the 1964 Civil Rights Act Civil rights experts worry bans on DEIA in education and government are part of a larger, ongoing push to undo the country's 1964 Civil Rights Act.

We'll have more to share in the coming days. But what can you do right now? Call Congress. Call your state and local officials. Tell them exactly what's at stake if the President's order stands: the future of America's libraries.

Show Up For Our Libraries! By eliminating the only federal agency dedicated to funding library services, the Trump administration's Executive Order is cutting off at the knees the most beloved and trusted of American institutions and the staff and services they offer. ALA American Library Association. #ForOurLibraries

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen.

Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it.

Thank you, Mariame!

Columbia Disciplines Students Who Occupied Campus Building Last Year Sanctions for the Hamilton Hall occupation include expulsions and suspensions.

We condemn in the strongest possible terms any university that would sacrifice its own students to the demands of an authoritarian government.

This is absolute cowardice & capitulation to an administration hellbent on the destruction of American higher education.

www.nytimes.com/2025/03/13/n...

Columbia announced mass suspensions, expulsions, and degree revocations the same day it received a letter from the Trump administration telling them to do just that if they wanted to keep getting funding

Federal government tells Columbia to, among other things, put into receivership a Dept that studies the Middle East

Anyone using Exit, Voice, Loyalty, (Neglect) in critical ways to study individual agency and organizational responsiveness to racialized change work in higher ed?
