DEI means "Of God" in Latin, and as a secular nation we shouldn't mix religion and politics. Something more secular would work. But keep it classical—and classy. E PLURIBUS UNUM has a nice ring to it. EPU initiatives all down the line.

Some good news: A century after they were first demonstrated aboard the “Baden Baden” (ex-Buckau), Anton Flettner’s rotor sails are going mainstream. www.maritime-executive.com/features/mai...

Happy birthday FDR! Your New Deal state survived almost a century but some very bad people you would call “economic royalists” are going to destroy it from within.

This is Carolyn Edwards. She was one of the first officers attacked and knocked out on January 6th. She bravely testified before the January 6th committee. She is one of the bravest people I know and she deserves better. (She posted this publicly on her FB page which is why I'm sharing publicly)

“My observation has convinced me that those who are most sensitive as to contact with colored people, and whose nerves are most shocked by their presence, have little to be proud of in the way of birth, lineage, or achievement.” Circuit Court Judge and ex-Confederate colonel David M. Key, 1885

These women didn’t sit down, stay quiet, or ask for permission—they broke the rules and changed the world. Role models. We should add Bishop Mariann Budde to the list.

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is. Know your rights. Pass these around…

There are 510,000 NCAA athletes. Less than ten are transgender. The GOP doesn’t care about protecting women. They celebrate and empower men who assault women. They force pregnant women to carry their rapist’s child to term. They target a tiny, vulnerable community to scare us and consolidate power.

Cannot recommend highly enough @sarahchurchwell.bsky.social's Behold America: A History of America First and the American Dream—more timely now than when published in 2018. She traces the slide of the American Dream from one of social justice and economic equality to one of individual opportunity.>

A friend writes from LA: “It's crazy here. First and most importantly, we three and our home are safe. We are grateful beyond anything I can express, as we are a mere 350 feet from the evacuation border on the eastern edge of the Palisades Fire.
