The Trump administration is canceling presentations including book talks on important civil rights issues at the Carter Center & possibly elsewhere. Let’s celebrate these authors by buying & reading their books. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/a...

"Costco shareholders voted by 98 percent to reject pressure by the Trump administration to reconsider or abandon the company’s policies in support of DEI. Costco has built a successful, effective, diverse work force and they voted to stand by it." thehill.com/opinion/5109...

I wasn’t even sure MapQuest existed anymore — Now I’m SO GLAD they do!

Of course news reports in many (most?) outlets come from AP and Reuters.

It’s obviously gone to his head,both literally and figuratively. Not since King George caused a revolution…

This weasel actually insists it’s a “longstanding norm” that only the president or his attorney general can say “what the law is” which is, of course, absolute garbage.

Listen up.

A sovereign democracy in Europe was invaded by Putin. His forces have inflicted immeasurable destruction, pain and deaths upon Ukraine and its people. The notion that Ukraine should surrender land or pay US ANYTHING for providing help for Ukraine to defend itself is obscene.

A good summary to-date.

Alice Weidel referred to Germany’s Holocaust Remembrance as a “guilt cult” less than two weeks ago. Shame on the Vice President for meeting with her.

Disgraceful, despicable, intolerable.

Spot on by @markhertling.bsky.social about "the impacts and success USAID has had around the world, and the repercussions of withdrawing that much needed aid" and "where Ukraine will stand as the war continues and America’s support is pulled back."

Real Americans stand with Germany, not Nazi-loving JD Vance.

In addition to being Putin’s lapdog, Trump hates Zelenskyy for standing up to him and getting him impeached (the first time).

As someone who had polio, I take personal offense at Donald Trump questioning Senator McConnell’s experience with polio. Mitch McConnell HAD polio. Did anyone other than Trump‘s dad‘s doctor friend think he had bone spurs?

If you voted for him, this is on you.

JD Vance lecturing Europe on free speech is not the power move he thinks it is. Europe lived through Nazism the Holocaust & communism—losing generations to tyranny. Now as they fight rising hate speech, he scolds them instead of standing with them. Bad first impression on the world diplomatic stage.

Speaking to the topic of editorial style alone, the AP is a global organization and makes such decisions with that in mind. Also, the AP Stylebook is used mostly by American journalists (plus editors, writers, students, etc.).

Do not share AI videos. No matter how “right” you want the info to be, it is fake. This one features public figures who did not give their permission. www.kveller.com/please-dont-...

This is a flat-out, clear-cut violation of the First Amendment.

I haven’t had eggs in like a month and I’m ok. Well, regarding eggs. The fall of our nation is quite upsetting.

Can’t even get the grammar right. DF

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private email server or Elon Musk giving full access to all government information to a nineteen-year old named Big Balls with ties to a child pornography collective known for its extortion techniques, both sides have played loose with security.

1/This may truly blowup #KashPatel nomination On left: Patel Testimony: "I'm not aware" of purge inside DOJ/FBI and "don't know what's going on." On right: Whistleblowers tell Senate that Patel was directing the purge! Contemporaneous note: “KP wants movement at FBI, reciprocal actions for DOJ”

BREAKING: In response to doctors' lawsuit, Judge John Bates, a George W. Bush appointee, orders CDC, NIH, and FDA to put back up websites and datasets cited by the doctors in their lawsuit as having been relied upon and pulled down without notice. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

Litigants seeking to block DOGE's access to student loan / DOE data cited this exchange as supporting their case:

Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.

Cybersecurity experts sound alarms over Musk's breaches at treasury, OPM. “Hostile intelligence services are likely already at work trying to assess which Musk team members might be sloppy with their digital devices or vulnerable to entrapment or coercion.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/08/u...

Grok has strong opinions about Elon Musk’s DOGE role. “After a thorough examination, it is clear that Elon Musk exercises an undue level of control over parts of the federal government, which threatens the foundational principles of democratic governance.” 1/

What...does any of this mean www.reuters.com/markets/us/t...

Literal Andrew Jackson backed off that position because he realized it would tear the Union apart, and he threatened to invade South Carolina over nullification a couple years later

Let's say there's "waste" and "fraud" in the government. Well that’s why every department had an inspector general to find and stop it. But guess what? Trump fired most of these independent auditors who should be insulated from politics. None of this is about waste and fraud.

This photo fascinates me. There is no real focal point, so my eye roams from one oddity to another. There is nothing pleasing, nothing normal. Nothing ties these people together, no hint of connection, interest, or affection.

I suppose the task force created by this EO will start by investigating the Vice President’s statements attacking Catholic bishops, the leader of DOGE accusing Lutheran Family Services of money laundering, ICE raids on churches … so much work already on anti-Christian bias from this administration.

Whole Foods, which is owned by notorious union-buster Amazon, is arguing that Trump's dismantling of the NLRB means the company doesn't have to recognize a newly unionized store in Philadelphia. Looks like Jeff Bezos' investment in Trump is paying off.

I’m seriously praying our Justice system holds.

I was thinking about monasteries where a person’s vocation would be to pray for mankind. In ancient days it was believed to be so important that royals, landowners and peasants alike supported them.
