The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Where the hell is Lin-Manuel Miranda? Why isn’t he, in full costume, outside the Treasury Department, right now, RAPPING?!

Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.

Keep making your art and music no matter how hard it gets. ✨

Thanks to George Conway for posting Caroline Kennedy’s letter to Senators setting the truth about her cousin RFK jr Straight He is truly unqualified in every way possible.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

As a Trekkie who loved almost everything about Star Trek Discovery, especially Michelle Yeoh's character Georgiou, I am PSYCHED about the Star Trek 31 movie that's now out on Paramount. Looking forward to the opportunity to lose myself in one of my most beloved sci-fi universes again.

This is what we all should remember.

“Numerous records disclosed to the public for the first time by investigative journalists and EPA in September 2024 revealed new details about the scale of the Refinery Fire’s impacts and lengths Marathon undertook to downplay those impacts,” filings claim. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"The lack of protesters on the streets should not be mistaken for acquiescence. Nor should the downcast mood be taken for despair. Determining where to look, and what to prioritise, is extraordinarily hard in this shifting landscape. But there will be legal, political and social opportunities..."

if they want to go back to the 1950s, we’re bringing the cuisine back to the 1950s too. you put me in the kitchen, I will spend 100% of my time in there finding how much horseradish and shrimp I can put in Jello before God personally comes down here to stop me.

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike
