YOUR HELP NEEDED: Today a Federal judge in R.I. ordered the Trump admin to re-start all federal grant payments.

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

"It states that being trans is incompatible with 'an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle'"

Being Trans is the greatest expression of truth - so much so that puts you at risk for the expression of that truth. Honorable? We're willing to pass around the same last $5 to keep us safe

It’s still always a pleasure to grade papers that cite past or present colleagues and friends. Like the student has put an Easter egg in the paper just for me to find.

That’s a wrap…imma leave the door opennnnn 🎶
