JOIN US, PALS! After a busy winter and spring of one-off community building classes, I’m switching it up for the summer. I’m launching a seven week cohort for folks who are currently part of a community project that they’re trying to keep humming (maybe as a leader, maybe as a participant).
My coworker at a fed institute was told to destroy or payback a $50 thank you gift of a box of pears because it was over our allowed gift level.
New at Can We Still Govern: An anonymous NIH employee maps out the GOP budget gameplan to permanently gut our most important science agency.
Impoundment, delay and red tape will create artificial "savings" that become the new benchmark for NIH budgets.

A large group of people holding protest signs at a rally today
A group of Missoulians, many of us strangers to one another at the start, organized a Public Lands/Land Stewards rally that an estimated 1,100 Montanans attended today. We can make a better world.

I think if you don't want to buy things from major retailers today or any day that is great, and I would also love for everyone to remember that successful movements usually need to involve labor, and to start thinking of yourself as a worker first and a consumer second

I advise everyone, especially people who don't usually, to find any of them and just go to one.
It's important.
I've never seen it stated so plainly: Joyce can imagine herself as an author whose book event is disrupted by protestors so she opposes the protest.
Can you imagine yourself as a fired federal worker or deported immigrant? Wouldn't you want people to take drastic measures on your behalf?
