If you're having a tough weekend writing syllabi or a rough start to 2025, remember that in 1991 Tim Berners-Lee's paper for the World Wide Web was rejected and he was instead relegated to the poster session.

This potential legal attack on the nonprofit sector in the US fits with the global administrative assault on NGOs and civil society known as closing civic space, where leaders use anti-NGO laws to create barriers to entry, funding, advocacy for organizations. #nonprofitsky #polisky #contentiousky
