Unfortunately the Lexington Herald Leader reported he is not running. Maybe waiting for presidential run in 2028? Thanks for this round up of resistance!

A book about how racism shapes the American educational system and why that matters DEBUTED on the New York Times bestseller's list. Put simply, people still care about history.

Congratulations to Dr. Eve Ewing! @eveewing.bsky.social

Saw her give a presentation at UT Austin school of Ed years ago. She is a tour de force! Her poetry is haunting too. 1918 is a must read.

@mapquest.com has yet to yield to the "Gulf of America" nonsense and is instead empowering the people to name it whatever.

You can make the switch from Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Waze to Mapquest here: https://hello.mapquest.com/mobile/

Anti-DEI Walmart is going through some things. I imagine folks boycotting it is contributing to this.

Anti-DEI is pro-hate and that's about the stupidest way imaginable to run a company or a country.
