So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

💥 Apple is upholding its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Despite attack from right-wing anti-DEI shareholder activists -- the same anti-DEI group that targeted Costco. And just like Costco, look for Apple shareholders to tell anti-DEI activists to take a hike on Feb 25.

The Trump administration has issued a two-week ultimatum for schools and universities to end all DEI programs or risk losing federal funding. Educators are warning that the “autocratic” directive is part of a larger attempt to privatize education.

When we were working on this story, I spoke with a Justice Department lawyer who had been pushed out by Trump. I was told that this civil rights discrimination case DOJ had filed against SpaceX was likely going to be dismissed. Now that's happening.

With everything going on I needed to do something cathartic, and really wanted to try a WWII-style poster with Sheena. I really love old poster graphics from that time period and figured it was a fitting theme!

This is disappointing news for St. Clair County, which is waiting on $89.5 million in disaster relief from this office. The people this office serves are in urgent need of help to rebuild their lives — gutting it only makes their struggle harder.

Emails & faxes are easy to ignore. Calls get COUNTED. In-person visits DEFINITELY get their attention. Go to a local office if you can't go to DC. Bring a friend. Bring 20 friends. Carry signs & a list of specific actions you want your rep to take. Tell local TV/newspapers in advance. #Resist
