I’m grateful for faculty with expertise and track record on prevention & response plans for targeted harassment. I’m most familiar with @rebekahtromble.bsky.social’s projects researchersupport.org & expertvoicestogether.org - I’m sure she can recommend others for everyone who needs help now

This is it. Way past time for everyone in this country - literally everyone - to find practical ways to support trans people and immigrants, this regime's primary targets.

Starting right now, find something practical to do to actually help people.

It asks questions such as, who'd like to take over some of NCAR's programs? Is anyone interested in commercial use of the Mesa Lab?

If you have thoughts, send them to NSF_NCAR@nsf.gov

congratulations!!!

@gregpak.net thoughts?

Thanks!

In a moment when our ability to imagine a future is under attack, I had the privilege of co-editing w @santiaaurora.bsky.social this volume gathering so many incredible scholars and activists thinking about the future of Puerto Rican Studies. The book comes out on April 21 w @dukepress.bsky.social
