Many colleges, faced with being denied funds by the Trump regime for DEI efforts would no doubt have continued income related assistance and consideration, which may have an effect of diversifying education. A letter from acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainor (seen below), has ⏬

Trump keeps saying that Zelensky is polling at 4% in Ukraine. This is a number he pulled out of his ass, as usual. Zelensky is way more popular in Ukraine than Trump is in the US. In fact Zelensky is more popular than Trump IN THE US. His popularity has been going up recently. Trump's is going down.

The MSM is somewhat confused over whether the straight-arm salutes given by Steve Bannon and Elon Musk were "Nazi salutes" or merely "enthusiastic gestures". Here's a useful rule of thumb for the press, if the arm is attached to a Nazi, like Musk or Bannon, it's a Nazi salute.

The so called "honeymoon" period that Presidents enjoy at the beginning of their term has already ended for Trump. It was brief, disorienting, and unsatisfying, like I imagine all of Trump's honeymoons have been. Luckily this bad marriage has a "sell by" date. It can't come soon enough. #Resist

Elon's "Fork in the Road" (whatever the hell that's supposed to mean) offer was taken by some probationary employees to avoid being fired. They got forked over anyway. #MuskIsNotMyPOTUS

This is some older work, loosely inspired by "Iron Council" a fantasy novel by China Miéville set in his city of New Crobuzon. A key element in the book is a railroad that advances into a wasteland by tearing up the tracks behind it and using them to create new tracks in front of it. No AI was used.

"Republicans are criticizing Trump in a way they have generally avoided." Which is to say, at all. We shouldn't view this milquetoast pushback (or more accurately pokeback) as anything these frightened GOP mice will maintain once Trump sics his Trillion Dollar Baby-Man, Elon "Pockets" Musk on them.

The first meeting of Rapists International. Representing the US, Rubio is backing the Trump regime tack that Ukraine was "just asking for it". To show further which side of the rape divide he's on, Trump had R. Grenell ask Romania to drop sex-trafficking charges against Andrew Tate. No means nyet.

As Russia's economy teeters on the brink, the Trump regime is stupidly rushing to save it, offering concessions to Putin, boosting the ruble and threatening to impose a Versailles-like treaty on Ukraine, claiming that they started the war by being invaded. Just like Vlad told Trump to. Useful idiot.

The Trump regime, after appointing an HHS secretary who wants to "revisit" childhood vax schedules, is considering a massive new vaccination program...for chickens. 5 weeks into this regime, somebody may have "concepts of a plan" to do something on food costs, the main reason they won the election.

A drug addict who makes cars that spontaneously explode, plows into cops, and crash at much higher rates than other cars, is going to fix the air traffic control system? I'm not getting on a plane until this drug-addled illegal immigrant is deported or imprisoned.

If Trump wanted to realign the world, it's definitely off its axis now. Europeans talking about aligning more closely with China--that is the complete opposite of what Trump said his foreign policy would be. You don't constrain China by pushing other countries into their arms. Government by idiot.

Remember when the right was felching Javier Milei, the "Argentinean Chainsaw" and promising to follow his economic rock-squeezing? Now, after half his country has fallen into poverty, the stock market's tanking and he's under investigation for pushing a meme coin that had a $4B collapse...crickets.

Can we set some parameters here: any landing where the plane’s logo is upside down isn’t really a landing. Any incident where the plane’s wings are missing isn’t an incident. There must be some word that describes this better…don’t worry, it’ll come to me.

To those who voted for Trump who now feel betrayed, your mistake wasn't believing him when he said he'd lower food prices, or solve the Gaza conflict, or end the war in Ukraine, or deport only bad guys, or protect Medicare and Social Security. Your mistake was believing anything he said. Anything.

A Russian drone damaged the containment shield at Chernobyl. Iran and Korea continue their nuclear arms development unchecked. Musk's minions fired a number of people whose job it is to safeguard America's nuclear arsenal. I wonder--is it time to start keeping a closer eye on the Doomsday Clock?

Things that might keep someone from getting a security clearance of any kind: Illegal drug use History of mental illness Multiple citizenships Dependence on a Communist nation for income Repeated contact with foreign dictators "I've had a top-secret clearance for many years"--Elon Musk Yahtzee!

If it looks like a dictator, walks like a dictator, talks like a dictator, but especially if it says IT"S GOING TO BE A DICTATOR...it's a dictator. It's a failure of imagination that so many of the MSM are gobsmacked when Trump again signals he wants to be Dictator of the US. He's already told us.

If the enemy of my enemy is my friend, the friend of my enemy is my enemy. Trump is the enemy.
