Something to discuss at #asa2025
Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 12mo agoOne more effort to politicize federal grantmaking. *Grants must by approved by a political appointee, working with OMB. *"Discretionary awards must, where applicable, demonstrably advance the President’s policy priorities." *Cannot "promote anti-American values" www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
I think I can hear the person pee-ing in the room next door #asa2025
BIG: A new executive order changes fundamentally how the U.S. awards research grants, giving oversight to political appointees in coordination with OMB. All new grant opportunities are paused until these appointees are in place. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

A climate denialism agenda is being pushed in the midst of wildfires in North & South Carolina, massive floods in Kentucky, and an exceptional drought in southwestern Texas. They’re really “owning the libs” as climate change bears down on Red and Blue states alike. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/c...

In honor of the Inauguration today, I'm going to share some toplines from our survey of participants at the People's March in DC (I did this after the big marches during Trump 1.0 to document the Resistance), so here goes: People came from all over the US to participate--81% lived outside DC.
Here we go again! I’ll be fielding a team of 8 researchers at the People’s March in DC tomorrow. If someone asks you to take our survey, please say yes 🙌 Remember it will help us understand who’s joining the Resistance 2.0 and why.
UPDATE: I am pulling out of this virtual mini-conference given how @asanews.bsky.social is shaking down members for MORE money. As universities face budget cuts, the idea that an association will add costs for members who are doing the work of providing the content is outrageous.
Dana R. Fisher (aka the Apocalyptic Optimist)@fisherdanar.bsky.social · 2y agoFor anyone who thought @asanews.bsky.social was providing members with more resources through its virtual mini-conference program, think again! Apparently, even those of us who are speaking (for FREE) and are members who pay hundreds a year to ASA are being asked to pay $100 to register to speak...!
