Nonprofits that provide shelter for homeless people, disaster recovery help, and food for low-income Americans rely heavily on federal funding – they would be reeling if Trump froze that money Federal grants and contracts are a major source of funding for nonprofit services in the US.

The Trump admin ordered a freeze on federal grants for aid programs, but a judge partially blocked it following lawsuits. In this OpEd, @dyanamason.bsky.social & Mirae Kim discuss the role of federal funding in the functioning of nonprofits.

Contact your members of Congress about the illegal impoundment of grants and contracts by President Trump - many of which will impact nonprofit organizations providing emergency relief, educational programs and health and human services. www.councilofnonprofits.org/pressrelease...

Please call your Senators today regarding these 3 nominees for cabinet positions whose hearings are tomorrow. You can use whatever parts of the script you like below. Thanks to @porpentina2017.bsky.social and @sierraclub for information in the script below.

The first President or former President found guilty of a felony (34 of them, actually) will be sentenced tomorrow.

Here’s a New Year’s Resolution:

Be on the side that reads books — not the side that bans them.

The Trusk agenda is hitting 535 other people who are accountable to voters.

The double punch of the Jonestown Massacre and Harvey Milk assassination.

They actually aren't for free markets. They want to prevent competition with some of the most extreme government intervention to protect their friends and line their own pockets.

This is the state of American "leadership". A convicted, twice impeached bully?

We, as voters, can term limit electeds via elections. Making it a rule doesn't solve our problem of representation. Stopping gerrymandering would have a bigger impact.

Musk’s Foundation Gave Away Less Money Than Required in 2023 Private foundations must donate 5 percent of their assets every year. Elon Musk’s enormous charity missed that standard for three consecutive years.

Musk's foundation has failed to donate the required 5% of its assets per year for the last three years. Last year that was over $400 million that wasn't donated. #nonprofits www.nytimes.com/2024/12/12/u...

Oregon nonprofits are critical to the state’s social service network — and going broke Leaders say they have had to lay off paid staff and move out of buildings.

#Nonprofit organizations are struggling, despite their important role in our communities. I'm quoted in this article by @opb.bsky.social . www.opb.org/article/2024...

And, isn't that called "taxes"?

He literally is making things up.

That looks like my kids at an Easter egg hunt. Without the urgency.

Trumpnhas suggested his regime will also deport American citizens.

This is good

Between 2017-2021 we lost a high proportion of potential #internationalstudents . Others were stuck in the U.S. unable to go home because it was unlikely they would be able to return (and weren't able to see their families for 2-4 years).

Second #nonprofit post today. ACLU raises their revenue through individual donations and philanthropic funding.

There are #nonprofits at the center of nearly every news story. This one - alleged financial mismanagement - is a serious concern for the former executive of a multimillion dollar veteran's organization.

You deserve senators that take their article two section two responsibility seriously

Wait, isn't that a "conflict of interest"? (raising hand and speaking from side of mouth).

In my department at @universityoforegon.bsky.social, we hold a drop-in brunch for students during or right before finals week. This year, we also enjoyed a harp performance by faculty.

Handing the Department of Defense and its responsibilities over to an alleged alcoholic who hasn't yet even started their 12-step program and doesn't (yet) have a track record of successful sobriety and stability seems.... unwise.

Gender-affirming health care is good health care. Enough said.

Oh look! It’s a gallery of things I must now order online because it takes 20 minutes to find the Keeper of the Deodorant Key

This was kind of the point. Buy Twitter, suck money out of it, turn it into a misinformation platform, then let it die.
