The new leadership cancelled planned events for NSF’s 75th anniversary and tried to prevent staff from even taking a group photo to celebrate the landmark. These are the faces of the hardworking employees they’ve been treating as disposable. NSF, we appreciate you even if your own leaders don’t ❤️

This is completely false. Even the largest university endowment cannot sustain large-scale scientific research. In my 25 years at my school, the most monumental research fund drive raised $325M in *total*. Federal research here costs $200M per *every year*. This is an extinction-level event.

Community-run food co-ops can reduce food insecurity and boost healthy diets, research shows
Food co-ops are local groups where people join together to buy food in bulk, usually straight from farmers or wholesalers.

If you think not voting or voting 3rd party will lead US politicians to go "They're not participating? They must be dissatisfied with the system! We'll change in ways to appeal to them," what actually happens is politicians go "Who cares about them, I'm going to focus on voters, that's how you win."
