No.
Funders talk a lot about sustainability.
In 15 years of nonprofit work I’ve never met an org that relied on 1 or 2 renewable grants a year. That’s insane.
This is a failure of government dressed up as a strategy problem.
Most nonprofits would rather close than have to do the govt’s job.

The non-profit sector talks a lot about sustainability.
Most orgs still build their entire budget around one or two grants they have to re-win every year.
That's not a funding problem. It's a strategy problem dressed up as a funding problem.
Most funders now prioritize getting off funding cycles

It's absolutely surreal how no one is talking about the Iran war in daily life. No one is discussing it and they seem oblivious. This conflict is spiraling and deteriorating in a way that it will substantially disrupt daily life for most of the world for the first time in decades.

Fuck this and everyone who helped get things to this point. Trans rights are human rights—full stop.
1. Numerous transgender people in Kansas are reporting that the state has sent them a letter demanding the immediate surrender of drivers licenses.
Those driving could be arrested, charged, and see privileges revoked.

When I worked for GNOF, Angola wanted us to partner on some programs. I met Burl Cain. I was as close to witnessing a plantation and the treatment of enslaved people as I could see. That man is the devil and Angola is hell.
We did not invest. No way I was writing that grant.

I wrote the cover story for the new issue of @gambitweekly.bsky.social —
According to a class action lawsuit, the state of the healthcare at Angola penitentiary has led to inmates’ disfigurement, exacerbation of ailments, and even death.
I unpacked how things got the way they are!

“Will anyone in the Epstein files be held accountable?” What you have to understand is that while sexual violence is technically illegal and frowned upon in the abstract, in practice it is accepted, ubiquitous, de rigeur, and a primary vehicle for male bonding.

RIP to Jesse Jackson, who in this debate w/David Duke in 1977 delivered (until the host cut him off) a message of unity and against "national isolationism" that's important to hear today. He also ended the show w/one of the sickest burns ever directed at Duke: "You're not even a legitimate Klansman"
