New research on emergency rental assistance during the pandemic not only went to neighborhoods and households in need but also had long lasting, positive effects after receiving assistance (e.g., less likely to be displaced). Report coming soon.

Kyle Crowder mentioned supporting that too, would be great to get one at UW. If we get a large enough space/crowd we can see if the director can come. I can see about smaller screenings too. Let's talk.

Come to the first screening (May 7) of "Evicting the American Dream", a powerful documentary on eviction and homelessness in the U.S. I'm honored to be part the project and to be on the panel. See the trailer and more at sunnyvalepres.com/pda-film/
Let me know if you want to host a screening.

My first thought after watching this is I need to make a space to hide people in my home... Reminds me of the books I read about hiding Jews during WWII.

Apparently, the University of Washington School of Medicine has frozen all non-clinical hiring in response to the Trump/Musk administration attacks on science and science funding.
Destroying healthcare to own the libs.

Screenshot of an X post from Scott Turner (@SecretaryTurner) posted on February 11, 2025, at 5:55 PM:
Text of the post: "Working with @DOGE, we have identified $260 million in savings at @HUDgov.
The American taxpayer is no longer writing a blank check for federal contracts and programs.
Americans voted for reform and we’re delivering it for @POTUS."
Below the text is an embedded image featuring a split-screen news broadcast. On the left, Scott Turner is speaking to the camera. On the right side of the split-screen, is an image of the HUD building .
At the bottom of the image, a news banner displays: "REAL AMERICA'S VOICE
SCOTT TURNER
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
THE CHARLIE KIRK SHOW”
HUD is struggling to meet even a fraction of the country's need at current funding levels & the Secretary is bragging about the richest man on Earth finding $260 million in mystery savings?
This is so far removed from reality.

A bar graph showing that the House Republican plan would take food assistance from people to pay to tax cuts for the wealthy.
Tax cuts for the wealthy don’t pay for themselves. House Republicans want to take food away from people to pay for them.

@mcuban.bsky.social I bet we could kickoff Days of Transparency @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social, invite @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @rbreich.bsky.social, inspire other campuses to DoTs to raise awareness, organize, and strategize. Campuses are fertile grounds for grassroots to spread.

The irony is this event may impact my housing. This grant was the bulk of my funding over the next few years and would help employee others. I was able to pick up some teaching this semester but Fall funding is uncertain.
What is happening now could shut down colleges and universities.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

The path forward requires vigilance, solidarity, and proactive defense of democratic institutions. As history shows, silence in the face of incremental authoritarianism only enables its growth.

So the hiring freeze rescinded my upcoming grant with the VA. Also impacted several other things. So I might be out of a job after my current grant runs out.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this raises unemployment by several points soon. Both thru direct and indirect effects of the freeze.

A notice from Worcester Public Schools Transportation Department. It reads: A recent notification has gone out regarding ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents potentially being at bus stops. If you are aware of any agents being at a stop, DO NOT let any student off the bus and contact the transportation office immediately.
Trump is directing ICE agents to enter schools and snatch kids at bus stops

It Is MLK Day. Do Not Despair. This Year Especially, We Have Work To Do.
With delicious anticipation, we imagined it.
I pray this helps some of you today. We have a duty to Dr. King whose life was taken because he dared demand that this country face itself, to demonstrate that his work & sacrifice was not in vain. Let’s do it together. Please share. And subscribe.
