Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Congress was denied entry to both the U.S. Department of Education and the Treasury, where Musk staffers blocked the doors. Along with its appropriations responsibilities, Congress holds oversight authority over federal agencies. Blocking congressional access to these agencies is illegal.

We’ll soon know if inflation was really the reason white voters chose Trump. If it was, these voters will abandon Trump after his tariffs jack up prices. My suspicion is that they won’t, because racism was another major motivation that they’d never admit. And Trump is delivering on the racism front.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

New on MSNBC: Vice President Harris will fly back to Los Angeles today with an all-female U.S. Air Force crew — the first time an all-female crew has operated a C-33. Upon landing, Harris will visit a local fire station and then distribute food to community members impacted by the wildfires.

I looked up what a group of Blue Jays is called, which is a "party" or "band." So here is a party of Blue Jays. (They do seem to like partying it up and causing a ruckus. I could see "a ruckus of Blue Jays" as a group name working too.)

Yes AI art is ugly, but that isn't the problem with AI art. AI art will get better and it will still be unacceptable. AI art is built on stolen art. AI music is built on stolen music. AI videos are built on stolen videos. AI text is built on stolen text. Across all mediums, fuck AI.

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this: Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius. If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

During Trump’s last term, he made over 30,000 false or misleading claims. It’s always important to verify facts. For instance, he once stated that ‘raking the forest’ could help prevent forest fires.
