Unquestionably, major policy changes, edicts and directives handed down by the new Trump administration will upend lives. But I've also been struck by the widespread efforts to erase/whitewash history. Stick with me for a pretty shocking series of events from just the past few weeks.

Keep calling.
Senators’ phones have been ringing off the hook with nonstop calls from hospitals, police departments, volunteer firefighters, food pantries, drug treatment centers, on and on and on.

It's critical that Congress focuses the fight over the *power* of funding programs not *which* programs to fund.
It is unconstitutional for the executive to not fund a program even if it's not politically costly to the executive to do so

the white house saying the medicaid portal will be "back online shortly" does lend some credence to the idea that they're just shutting the entire government down and manually whitelisting whatever they see becoming an immediate political threat

On the other side of #NCTE24 and thinking hard on what we need next. Proposals due in January but our work will shape/be shaped by so much by November 2025. What do we most need to learn, discover and share in that window that we can imagine (and DREAM) now?

I loved what Ada Limon had to say about writer's block in her talk at #NCTE24 today: "It is not so much that you don't have anything to say; it's that you have so much to say."
We have to take time to sort through the overwhelmingness of it all, time to let one good idea at a time shine through.

My biggest and most important takeaway from #NCTE2024, and the one I will be sharing widely and freely as we see this rapidly approaching asteroid:
DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE.

Prepping for #ncte24 and trying to anticipate if it will be family hugs or vigilant calls to action - or a healthy blend of the two. Eager to be with our people.
