Community-building, mutual aid, parallel network creation, and relentless incrementalism = #CriticalHope
Y'all pick a lane. Then make a little progress in your lane each day.
Every serious, experienced organizer I know is Doing Their Thing. Instead of freaking out about each bit of bad news, we're in our lanes rapidly building dual power infrastructure and networks that don't rely on the goverment.

What's going on at NSF, NIH, NEH, NEA, the libraries, univs, and academic journals is all about control. AND there are always ways to resist. #readingreality #criticalhope
The attempt to ruin science & the ability to conduct research continues.
Sorry, that’s not direct enough. The assault on expanding knowledge continues as they try to constrain what we know & how we know it to reinforce power & hierarchy.
