From what we’ve seen at my school, the letters are going to the submitting official, not the PI. But still ending up in spam folders.

So sorry.

Check your spam/junk/quarantined messages folder. That’s where we’re finding termination notices which have been sent from a non-NEH email address.

BREAKING: A federal court declined to issue a preliminary injunction against the National Endowment for the Arts despite saying the NEA likely violated the First Amendment for blocking funding for projects that promote "gender ideology."

We will continue to fight for the arts and free speech.

Impossible.

Just heard that staff is expecting reduction in work force and buyout offers in the next day or so. NEA will be gutted like the IMLS.

Savor the beauty of the moment.

When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.

Another day, another law suit.

Resistance is fertile (not futile)!

Theaters Sue the N.E.A. Over Trump’s ‘Gender Ideology’ Order The lawsuit seeks to block a new rule that requires groups applying for grants from the National Endowment for the Arts to agree not to promote “gender ideology.”

Are you kidding me? They should judge us harshly - we post on social media and avoid shopping at Target while democracy crumbles.

Yes - but we need people to do more than sit home and not buy stuff.

Not watching Amazon
Prime or eating McDonalds while democracy fails. How very American.

I agree but this is the easiest, least proactive sort of “protest” when what we really need is action.

Artist = Jesse Duquette

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Americans would rather litigate than protest.

Absolutely.

Thank you, Jeff ❤️

It's getting a little North Korean around here.

They need to partner with arts administrators who have been using their superpowers to weather attacks since the late 1980s

NEW — DOGE now has full access to HHS Payment Management System, I’ve learned.

The system distributes almost $1 trillion per year in grants (largest in the govt) and supports all of NIH, CDC + many other public health initiatives. Musk guy Luke Farritor is actively delaying payments to recipients.

I always do!!

Muzzle it is! Censoring academic freedom.

Please read the entire thread posted by @darbysaxbe.bsky.social and multiply this out by funding agency - NIH, NEH, NEA, IMLS, DOE, EPA…

UbuWeb is back. Thank glob! I needed a bright spot today.

It’s not cuts. It’s a working model for purging federal workers and closing down federal agencies. They’re now using the same tactics at the Dept of Education.

is it good or bad that a billionaire oligarch with close ties to foreign dictators is currently downloading the most sensitive information the us federal government has about its citizens to his own private servers?
