Evidence-based decisions are made on whatever evidence exists, including no evidence. For change to occur, evidence must exist. Therefore make complaints! Report that incident! Send that concerned email! And don't feel any shame or discomfort - you aren't being a bother, you're generating evidence.

The National Association for Business Economics (NABE) strongly condemns the baseless removal of Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Commissioner Erika McEntarfer and the unfounded accusations leveled against the work of the agency. This unprecedented attack on the U.S. statistical system threatens the long-standing credibility of our economic data infrastructure.

Here's a small good thing you can do all month long.
Two, actually.
1. Like, share, and comment on any library post featuring Pride books or messaging that's positive. You can influence the algorithm for good.
2. Write a letter to your library board thanking the library for Pride displays.
Harvard Chan scientists participate in a rigorous application process for federal grants to conduct their vital health research. The government has now terminated nearly every single one of those grants.
π§΅ Why Typology Is StrategyβAnd What Comes Next
Fighting disinformation doesnβt start with facts.
It starts with clarity.
This 11-type, 3D framework helps us define the problem before we act.
Because if you canβt name it, you canβt counter it.
π§΅ Why Definitions Matter in the Fight Against Disinformation
If you want to fight disinfo, you need to know what youβre fighting.
And thatβs harder than it sounds.
Terms like βfake newsβ are too vague.
We need a shared vocabularyβand researchers have built one.
Foreign adversaries are pumping disinformation into our social media networks, but we know very little about the consequences let alone how to ameliorate them.
For years, Republicans have harassed us for studying this. Now, NSF has canceled all funding. Itβs a profound lapse in national security.
