At its February 10 meeting, AUSD discussed a mid-year report on LCAP assessments and heard a request from ACLC. Ken Der explains that the plan proposes for Nea to serve students in Kindergarten through eighth grade, while ACLC would serve students in ninth through 12th grade. https://alamedapost.com/news/ausd-board-hears-mid-year-lcap-report-clcs-middle-school-consolidation/

[EN] 我帮花草找对象 Helping plants make babies in Singapore | The Healer (2/3)

走进中央集水区自然保护区，满眼一片绿。但在国家公园局植物保育员黄欣仪的眼里，每一株都是瑰宝。 入行10年，她在野外采集种子、幼苗和插条，将濒危原生植物带回苗圃繁殖。 她笑言自己是“保姆”也是“媒婆”，遇到雌雄异株的植物，她得为它们“找伴侣”，肩负开枝散叶的使命。 走进《疗伤的人》，看黄欣仪如何为濒危花草“传宗接代”。 Note: English subtitles are auto-generated. #plants #nursery #natural #植物 #NEA --- 立即加入《联合早报》Telegram和WhatsApp频道，获取即时新闻推送，方便掌握最新消息。 Telegram： WhatsApp： 关注我们 Follow us: zaobao.sg FB： zaobao.sg Twitter： Instagram：

The #Senate was racing to clear 3 measures that passed the #House last week with money for the #Commerce Dept & the #DOJ [maybe skip that one], as well as for #environmental programs.

Even some programs that have long been despised by #conservatives are instead set to sustain only modest cuts, including #VoiceOfAmerica, the National Endowment for #Democracy [#NED] & the National Endowment for the #Arts [#NEA].

The right has long self-identified as the protector of free speech, except when that speech has to do with race, gender, sexuality, queerness, science, (non-Christian) religion, and anything else the Trump regime deems seditious, such as being critical of the government.

Four plaintiffs—Rhode Island Latino Arts, National Queer Theater, The Theater Offensive and Theatre Communications Group—sued federal officials following the signing of an executive order which directed the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to disfavor grant applications that “promote gender ideology.” Artists, represented by the ACLU, argued this provision violated the First Amendment, the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), and the Fifth Amendment.

The annual program was set up in 1966 to foster American #fiction, #nonfiction & #poetry. The latest iteration of the fellowship offered fiction & creative non-fiction #writers a $50k #grant. Applications were due in March & notifications were to go out in Dec. But last week, notices were sent to applicants stating: "The #NEA has cancelled the FY 2026 #CreativeWriting Fellowships program."

The email…states that the NEA is canceling grants that exist outside of the #Trump admin's *priorities*.

#Trump cancels National Endowment for the Arts creative writing fellowship

Alice Walker. Charles Bukowski. Louise Erdrich. Juan Felipe Herrera. These are just some of the #authors who received a #CreativeWriting fellowship from the #NEA over the years. The fellowship has now been canceled.

Bravo to the National Education Association (#NEA, @neatoday) for voting to drop the Anti-Defamation League (#ADL) as a partner in developing school curricula.

From Judy Greenspan, the NEA delegate who introduced the motion: "The ADL…continually [tries] to equate criticism of #Israel with #antisemitism.”

#Republican lawmakers in #Congress are introducing a bill to revoke the federal charter of the National Education Association (#NEA), the country’s largest teachers union

https://theglobeandatlas.com/republican-lawmakers-aim-to-revoke-federal-charter-of-national-teachers-union/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=jetpack_social

the National Educators Association is the largest union in the United States, with close to 3 million members across all levels of public and private education.

they just cut ties with the zionist-propped, genocide cheerleading, Anti-Defamation League.

https://mondoweiss.net/2025/07/the-national-education-association-just-voted-to-cut-all-ties-to-the-anti-defamation-league/

#Philadelphia #Arts #Theater #NEA

https://www.broadstreetreview.com/features/philly-arts-organizations-speak-up-after-the-trump-administration-revokes-their-nea-grants

"The Order targets #NPR & #PBS expressly because, in the President's view, their news & other content is not 'fair, accurate, or unbiased.'"

The “wolf”line was drawn from a 1988 dissent by the late #SCOTUS Justice Antonin Scalia.

The suit says the admin is usurping #Congress' right to direct how federal money will be spent & to pass laws. It names #Trump, OMB dir #RussVought, Treasury Secy #ScottBessent & #MariaRosarioJackson, the chair of the #NEA, as defendants.

Along with devastating cuts to numerous govt agencies and relief programs, it should come as no surprise that #DJT admin's ugly cuts to #NEA grants were coming. The severance of support to #arts charities and non profit agencies were made official last week, ending previous grant$ from the #NationalEndowment for the Arts and longstanding annual committments are effectively canceled, almost immediately.

The grant cancellations are particularly dire for arts organizations for which NEA funding may constitute the bulk of a project's budget.

In #SFBayArea , the cut$ include support for the #LGBTQ centric #Frameline #FilmFestival, #SFJAZZ, #Berkeley Rep, Women’s Audio Mission, #American Conservatory #Theater, #TheLab, San Francisco International #Arts #Festival and many many more worthy recipients. Most of these iconic and dedicated organizations will of course be able to continue their track record of creativity and community service, but will be seeking more fiscal signs of support from local sources than ever before and encourage patrons to get personally connected.

#AmnestyInternationalUSA Urges No Vote on #HR9495

November 12, 2024

"#Amnesty International USA warns that language in H.R. 9495 poses an alarming threat to the work of U.S. civil society organizations who document #HumanRights abuses around the world and urges members of Congress to vote against it.

"If enacted, this legislation would grant the Secretary of the Treasury broad discretionary powers to terminate the tax-exempt status of nonprofit organizations based solely on a subjective declaration that they are 'terrorist supporting organizations.'

"'In any other context, this legislation would be seen for what it is, a play from the #authoritarian leader’s playbook,' said Paul O’Brien, Executive Director at Amnesty International USA.

"The broad and vague authority to terminate non-profit status in the name of 'counterterrorism' is a practice that many governments have used to target civil society organizations. There are no safeguards to prevent H.R. 9495’s broad authority from being misused to harass or intimidate organizations for exercising their rights.

"The bill includes no due process for organizations deemed to be supporting 'terrorist' groups. The Secretary of the Treasury can use 'classified information' to make these designations without permitting nonprofits to review or challenge such evidence in federal courts. The loss of tax-exempt status similarly has no due process guarantees and would inflict economic harm and legally burden nonprofit organizations.

"Amnesty International USA joins more than 100 #CivilSociety groups, including #ACLU, #BrennanCenter, #PublicCitizen, #AFT, #NEA, #LCV, #CAP, #Indivisible, #NAACP, #ReproductiveFreedomForAll, and #NationalWomensLawCenter to oppose this legislation.

"'This bill, if it becomes the law, would not require officials to explain the reason for designating a group, nor does it require any evidence,' continued O’Brien. 'Members of Congress must recognize the danger posed and vote down this bill that could shrink civic space and silence civil society organizations.'"
