The US Administration has indefinitely blocked *all* student visa applicants from getting a visa interview. Worldwide, unconditional, no end date. All. International students are crucial to the US university system, American innovation, and future US prosperity.

Yup, one of the terminated NSF awards was #2140743, which allows Harvard to draw funding for its NSF graduate research fellows (GRFP), all current and new. Confirmed here: www.nsf.gov/updates-on-p... Just cruel.

Federal grants to universities are almost entirely on a Letter of Credit basis. Most universities will submit weekly or biweekly drawdowns from the Payment Management System to reimburse recent expenditures. Without those reimbursements universities will be burning through cash unsustainably.

Very hard to go to work normally when every day this administration keeps rolling out horrific policies that threaten the lives of marginalized people everywhere.

Here's an e-mail that just went out to NASA agency wide. 🔭

Letter reading, "Dear agency employees,
We are taking steps to close all agency DEIA offices and end all DEIA-related contracts
in accordance with President Trump’s executive orders titled Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing and Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive
Orders and Actions.
These programs divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars, and resulted in
shameful discrimination.
We are aware of efforts by some in government to disguise these programs by using coded or imprecise language. If you are aware of a change in any contract description or personnel position description since November 5, 2024 to obscure the connection between the contract and DEIA or similar ideologies, please report all facts and circumstances to
DEIAtruth@opm.gov within 10 days.
There will be no adverse consequences for timely reporting this information. However,
failure to report this information within 10 days may result in adverse consequences.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Janet Petro"

Organize and care for each other in your communities, fund libraries and mutual aid centers. Be there and fight for your trans friends. Continue fighting more than ever for Palestine.

I don't think I can explain the palpable horror I'm feeling right now. The rights of marginalized people are in jeopardy, just like that. And US bombs will continue to be sent to Israel.
