I was curious. And also wondered if I should abandon my Old Navy shopping cart. The answer is no. Here's a list of companies sticking with #DEI initiatives.

Russia started the war. Putin is a dictator. It feels important to state facts in the post-truth society we're living in.

Start at your community, where you can make the most difference. Defend neighbors targeted. Protect schools, libraries, and parks. Battle the hatred locally. The national crisis is coming from the top down. Fight from the ground up. Apply your strongest talents. You were made for this moment.

Finally reading 'Hail Mary' and realizing if we had a short-term, obvious Earth extinction event right now, we'd never get people in power to cooperate enough to save the planet. Guess that's why it's fiction. But great book. 📚💙 #BookSky

Well, won't shop at Target anymore now they have dropped their DEI initiatives, including a program to purchase more goods from black and minority owned businesses. Cowards.

In Washington, D.C., a tax on residents earning more than $250,000 a year is boosting the wages of child care workers. Two years in, it's proving to be a great investment.

Trump in August: "From the day I take the oath of office, we’ll rapidly drive prices down, and make America affordable again. Prices will come down. You just watch. They’ll come down and they’ll come down fast." Trump now: “It's hard to bring things down once they're up. You know, it's very hard."

I had fun putting together this gift guide for #Seattle book lovers. Instead of recommendations for actual books, we went for events, items, and experiences that would appeal to reader types. But of course, support your local indies when you buy books too! theticket.seattletimes.com/city-guides/...
