Runners head out from the starting line for the 42nd Skunk Cabbage Run this Sunday; I took pictures of almost all the finishers and I'm about 40% through developing them.
The gangster regime in Washington has now hit up my employer, #Cornell University, illegally withholding ~$1bn in federal grant money. We are circulating a petition among the faculty, calling on the trustees not to cave in.
The GOP-Nazi cadres will eventually lose, but the stain of surrender would haunt Cornell forever. Don't.
The #Trump admin has frozen more than $1 billion in funding for #Cornell & $790 million for #Northwestern amid *#CivilRights* [white man sad] investigations into both schools.
The #funding pause involves mostly grants & contracts with the depts of #Agriculture [HUGE school at Cornell], #Defense, #Education & #Health & Human Services.
I’m an alum, so…
#Trump Officials Freeze $1 Billion for #CornellUniversity & $790 Million for #NorthwesternUniversity
The funding pause amid *#CivilRights* investigations into both #universities sharply escalates the Trump admin’s campaign against elite #colleges.

I just got back from the Skunk Cabbage Run at the same place where I tried to get a picture of every finisher; the cold caught up with me by the end and I warmed up in the car, took a hot shower, and warmed up in bed. Now I've got about 2000 pictures to cull with Lightroom, Keysticks and a game controller
