it's jarring to think about how much federal funding used to go to stuff like cancer research, food safety, public health, science grants, and USAID and now it's private planes for ICE, $40 billion to Argentina and a ballroom where the East Wing of the White House used to be

This is true in science too. There are white Americans doing science, advancing the frontier of union knowledge. But there are many, many, immigrants.
Hard work is the core of science. People work 80 hrs a week; pour all of themselves into it. And it takes a diverse workforce to get the work done.

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.
Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.
