I believe New Year's Resolutions should be about making the world a little brighter around you. I do research on student motivation, and I put that knowledge into practice as a professor. Here are 5 suggestions for New Year's Resolutions for faculty to make their students' lives brighter this year.

@angierasmussen.bsky.social is right. Senators did the right thing. But #RussellVought is hell-bent on killing the NIH. He will try every which way to destroy it. We need to focus on him. He is the architect of the attacks on American science. He is a modern-day Visigoth.

So yes, one day the History books will record the inevitable course correction of this season, and it will appear from the distance of time that we recovered, but we who are alive right now will know the truth from this painful proximity.

Bmore folks: there is an absolutely fantastic art exhibit at the Eubie Blake Jazz Center right now that will blow your mind. It's a group show of Black artists; each work is paired with music selections chosen by local musicians you can hear via headphones.
Painting of the head and naked torso of a beautiful Black man; his head is tilted back and his arms are crossed in a ballet-like pose. One hand is covered in painted flowers.Jacob Lawrence painting of the revolt on the slave ship Amistad. Colorful and violent image of very stylized Black figures in green wrestling with white figures in blue with curved, mostly vertical lines representing ship ropes adding energy to the scene.Painting of a green falling woman with no detail inside her outline in front of a crowd of black shadows of people with raised arms against a red background.Paintingbof and orange man with no detail inside his outline bending over backwards with his arms flung out in front of a crowd of people in black shadow with their arms raised.

This is what the organizers say about DC. Also keep in mind that the goal is to protest *Trump* rather than to protest the Army’s 250th birthday. www.nokings.org/district
On June 14-Flag Day-Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn't staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.
Instead of allowing this birthday parade to be the center of gravity, we will make action everywhere else the story of America that day: people coming together in communities across the country to reject strongman politics and corruption.
For that reason, NO KINGS is not hosting an event in Washington, D.C. We will instead have a major flagship march and rally in Philadelphia to draw a clear contrast between our people-powered movement and the costly, wasteful, and un-American birthday parade in Washington. You can RSVP for the Philadelphia event here.
For participants in the D.C. area, we encourage you to join us in Philadelphia, find a local NO KINGS mobilization in Virginia or Maryland, or join our partners at Free D.C. for DC Joy Day, a community-led event in the District.
