We need a massive March Against Trump. Call it what you want. Do it as soon as you can. But let’s do it. Let’s plan it. If you were waiting to see what he actually was going to do, it’s all plain now. Dictatorship. And it’s just getting started.

Question: are the companies and institutions pulling back on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion cowards or racist and otherwise bigoted institutions who never wanted to include the targets of historic discrimination anyway?

In light of Trump’s anti-DEI Orders today, remember that February 16, 1847, MO’s legislature prohibited “Negroes and mulattoes” from learning to read and write and assembling freely for worship. Forbade free Black people to the state. Penalty: $5,000 fine ($180,000 today), 6 months jail.

Bove’s dismissal Mayor Adams’ bribery case had nothing to do with the strength of the evidence or legal theories. It was explicitly about Bove’s expectation that Adams would “devote full attention and resources to” Trump’s political priorities. Twenty-six (26) days in; Corrupt as hell.

Trump offers muscle in exchange for plunder. Says he wants US (I assume he means his family and Musk) to get $500 billion worth of Ukraine’s rare earth minerals in exchange for further U.S. military support, including US troops. So much for ‘Peace President’. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Trump is obsessed with trans folks. He has issued executive order after executive order going after them. That's just wrong. The idea of liberty and justice for all means accepting people for who they are and standing up for their civil rights. That's exactly what I'm doing youtu.be/oa_awyp8SY0?...
