I don’t process acronyms well. I’m a pretty literal person, so that’s part of it. Also, a lot of meaning gets lost when things are abbreviated. Prime example: DEI. Instead of saying “DEI”, we should say the entire phrase, Divisity, Equity and Inclusion. Doing that…clarifies things.

I’m sure Trump & Musk will condemn Putin for this since they claim to care so much about peace and the Ukrainian people.

Elon Musk's decision to create chaos within the federal government overnight because of his 5-bullet point email is exactly why he has no business being near our government. Our federal workers deserve better. Know that we stand with you.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Sometimes I sit and think about my favorite social studies teacher from high school and I wonder what she thinks about the state of the US now. I remember her telling us she was out of the country when JFK was assassinated and where she was people kept asking if she was worried. She said no -

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

A heck of a resignation! Those last couple of statements though. “ if no lawyer within earshot of the president is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

The full understanding of just how Trump is now allied with Putin is dawning on people. Zelensky calls for a European army as the only way to defend the continent and states clearly that the USA can’t be trusted. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

He says here that "he'll act quickly to correct mistakes." Has he publicly corrected his 'condoms for Gaza' mistake? Apologized? How about Trump seated a few feet away, who claimed Hamas made bombs from US condoms? Any correction? Apology? Of course not. These people lie & lie & lie & lie.

The AP should stop covering Trump events. Instead send those White House reporters out into the field to report on the harms and repercussions of his policies. The U.S. public never needed coverage of pseudo-events anyway.

MN is proud to help feed the world (in fact, this program was created by Hubert Humphrey). Now not only is that in jeopardy, but millions of dollars in income for farmers is too? Disgusting. This food, which we’ve already paid for, is waiting on ships to be delivered to those who need it.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

This is possibly the most astonishing thing I've read from the last week. DOGE re-writing air traffic control. DOGE gutting USAID & raiding its SCIF. DOGE hoovering up OPM. All of it madness. But this one is worse. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Let’s stop calling it DEI. Let’s be intentional & call it what it is: DIVERSITY, EQUITY, & INCLUSION. Making opponents actually say those words puts the onus on them to prove why they are against inclusion. It shows their hand. It shows their hate.

They don’t want us to have jobs. They don’t want us to have assistance if we can’t work. It doesn’t take a genius to know what they want to do with us. Fuck them. Please check on your disabled friends/family. And please be an ally for us. We need you now more than ever.
