DEI stands for Diversity Equity & Inclusion, and it’s about fair treatment and full participation of all people, including ppl from historically excluded groups. It’s recognizing & valuing differences, ensuring fair opportunities, and fostering a sense of belonging for everyone. Stand up for DEI.

A foreign government, Qatar, might give Trump a $400 million personal gift, a plane described as a “palace in the sky”. Not a bad haul at a time when Trump is asking American children to do with fewer dolls and pencils. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

World Liberty Financial, crypto venture linked to Trump, has a significant connection with UAE. Abu Dhabi-backed firm, MGX is using WLF’s stablecoin, USD1, for a $2B investment in crypto exchange Binance. Now, Qatar wants to give Trump a plane worth $400m, described as a “flying palace”. Corrupt.

The Afghans at risk of deportation to the Taliban when TPS is withdrawn include allies of the U.S. military, religious and ethnic minorities, and women and girls who are likely to face persecution and oppression by the Taliban. Trump is nothing if not cruel.

U.S. DHS has ended TPS for Afghans, as of May 20, 2025, meaning 1000s of Afghan nationals in U.S. who were granted TPS will no longer be protected from deportation. Meanwhile Afrikaners who maintained the racist and brutally repressive Apartheid regime are being resettled in US. Sick. Disgusting.

Trump has stopped refugee admissions for people fleeing famine and war, but he has fast tracked a path into the country for Afrikaners, who created and led the brutal apartheid regime in South Africa. So, this is what we’re dealing with.

Targeted laws firms say Trump's quick deal with Paul Weiss proves the orders targeting Big Law were never about national security. Trump's turnabout on the Paul Weiss order is evidence that it was never a national security risk. I guess Trump lied. www.businessinsider.com/trump-big-la...

Pope Leo XIV took the name of Pope Leo XIII, who lifted up the rights of workers to a fair wage, safe working conditions, and trade unions. He became the "Pope of the Workers"; I’m glad we have another Pope who cares about working people. Perfect rebuttal for Age of the Oligarchs.

Thanks to the Catholic Cardinals who have selected 2 leaders in a row, late Pope Francis & Pope Leo XIV, with a commitment to economic and social justice, respect & dignity for individuals and to all people who suffer and are oppressed. Of course, some aren’t happy, but that’s no surprise.

@letitiajames.bsky.social @keithellison.bsky.social Thank you for all you are doing to preserve our democracy. I would love to see an AG or class action lawsuit that goes after Elon Musk/DOGE for stealing all of our private data from U.S. government databases contrary to law.

Join us! June 14th will not be known as Donald Trump’s birthday. Instead, it will be known as the biggest protest in American history. And if you want to make your mark on that history, start by making a mark on your calendar: June 14th. More info soon.

American presidents supposed to carry out laws which Congress passes and Courts interpret, each doing the job within their lane. Trump “rules” via executive order aka edict or proclamation - like a king; we can’t allow it. #NoKingsJune14

Military Parades are for intimidating; confident democracies don’t do it. It’s more of a fascist thing. Imagine goose-stepping troops following tanks and missiles to say, “We are strong! We control our country and we can control you!” Join neighbors to say NO on No Kings Day, June 14

Trump issued another deceitful EO; this time falsely masquerading as a friend to police. Remember, this dude has 34 felonies; waiting sentencing. 140 officers were injured during the January 6, 2021, including several deaths. One lost an eye. He pardoned 1500 criminals who attacked police on J6.

So, Trump took a robust economy and pretty much ruined it, which is consistent with his entire business career. He was born rich and thinks his wealth is because of him. So sad.
