Any university that voluntarily shutters a DEI program, office or personnel “Because of Trumps Executive Order” is making a PR decision. Not a legal one. Trumps EO does not change anti discrimination law. If anything, the EO is unlawful. Universities should treat it that way.

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

This is your reminder that Russia is not our friend. Russia wants to end all democracy globally. Trump is aiding in that mission by even threatening other sovereign nations & neighbors.

It seems to me that if Musk has proof that millions of social security checks have gone out illegally to dead people, he should be presenting that evidence in front of a grand jury under oath tomorrow instead of shitposting it on social media. When can we do this under oath?

In case it wasn't painfully obvious, the purpose of all these efforts to dismantle public education is to privatize and segregate schooling so that the rich and powerful can continue to exploit everyone else. If you still think it's well-intentioned, you are being naive and manipulated. Sorry

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

“As far as Mr. Trump is concerned, Russia is not responsible for the war that has devastated its neighbor. Instead, he suggests that Ukraine is to blame for Russia’s invasion of it.” Like all the weakest bullies, Trump specializes in blaming the victim. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...
