Thank you to @thebaltimorebanner.com reporters Julie Scharper, Brenna Smith and Justin Fenton for joining my @merrillcollege.bsky.social Sports Reporting and Writing class this morning to reveal how they found, reported and wrote the Justin Tucker stories www.thebaltimorebanner.com/sports/raven...

As if everything else isn’t going to hell: “At the close of the 2025 cookie season…Girl Scout S'mores…will be retired…” S’mores. Is there anything more iconic about Girl Scouts? Please write your local Girl Scout troop, and congress person.

Said before, will say again: Never has someone gotten so much out of a distant fifth-place finish.

This is what 77m Americans have wrought. On their neighbors and the world.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

February 28.

Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities. They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.

With Trump’s cont’d demonization of immigration, we bring you our latest Our New South episode podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o... on the contributions of immigrants in the South who’ve entered the realm of political power and representation

Wish Jeff Bezos would spend as much time promoting the outstanding daily work of reporters and editors at @washingtonpost.bsky.social like this www.washingtonpost.com/technology/i..., which attracts readers, rather than what he’s decided to do with the editorial page

✊🏽The AP was freed. Merci beaucoup.

The seriousness and professionalism of newest Trump admin: “White House…account called the Reuters reporter…a “Fake News loser.” That post was shared by Hegseth with his personal account and by…the deputy press secretary on her official government account.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

🔥”…this is not just about who can compete on the athletic field, this is about whether a President can force compliance with his will…” Maine Gov. Mills www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

Me @postsports.bsky.social on how Trump’s callous attacks on gov’t workers ensnared the Native American women’s basketball coach at a small Native American college supposedly protected by treaty www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/...

“I paid very little attention to politics,” Adam Strom said. “... They were talking about layoffs, cuts, executive orders. I was like, ‘Nobody’s worried about an NAIA coach in Lawrence, Kansas.’” Until they were. Column by @kevinbblackistone.bsky.social

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

Will somebody call the police? Seriously. “Feds must answer email on what they did last week — or lose jobs, Musk says” www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

In honor of Black History Month, Trump fires CQ Brown from Joint Chiefs chair, a 4-star general and second ever Black Joint Chiefs chair, for a retired, white Lt. general. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

No smaller eunuch in Trumpist admin than Rubio who won’t attend G20 summit in Johannesburg saying South Africa, first Black nation to lead it, was using the gathering to promote “DEI and climate change,” which he said are anti-American. apnews.com/article/rubi...

More LGBTQ folks live in the South than elsewhere in the US despite it being the most hostile region to LGBTQ folks. Our latest episode of Our New South discusses the Southern LGBTQ community’s resilience and vitality. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

25th amendment, please. Someone. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Among those cut, includes the head women’s basketball coach at Haskell Indian Nations University, Adam Strom. “ …due to federal budget cuts imposed by an executive order. fox4kc.com/news/haskell...

Another democratic wrecking ball Trumpists are swinging, this one aimed at DC residents: www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Among the basically all-white Kennedy Center board appointed by Trump after his purge are the wives of @patriots.bsky.social owner Bob Kraft and Yankees president Randy Levine (Usha Vance is white racialist JD Vance’s southern Indian wife)

So, they’re just gonna lie. The feckless emasculated GOP sees says nothing. And 77m US voters stand duped, stupid. “U.S. plan to award $400M vehicle contract removes reference to Musk’s Tesla” www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Three Justice Department officials resign after Trump administration orders end to prosecution of New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

The Bible Belt isn’t so biblical anymore. What we found with Dr. Anthony Pinn, the noted religious scholar at Rice, and Rev. Patricia Mathews in Little Rock, Arkansas, who is the Executive Director of the Interfaith Center podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

First Amendment attacked, again . deadline.com/2025/02/ap-t...

🤦🏾‍♂️

I’m still not sure how Kendrick Lamar’s They Not Like Us morphed from diss to protest of where we’re at, but that he did it in Trump’s face when Snoop, Nelly, Souljah, and other caretakers of the great Black art rebuttal decided to tap dance is 👊🏾 worthy.
