In an alternate universe, McConnell, Garland, Meuller, and Biden had the courage and integrity to convict Trump, and he’s spending his final days behind bars, while America is still moving forward instead of regressing back to the Jim Crow era of white supremacist violence and fascism. Sigh…

Two important people at the Library of Congress have been illegally fired by the "president," probably because they don't think the techbros should be allowed to steal copyrighted material

Think we’ve forgotten about the time that Elon was booed so badly by fans of Dave Chapelle (of all people) that he locked himself in his office and Twitter employees considered calling the cops to do a wellness check.

What I’m saying is we can go harder.

✅ NEW by me:

Apple and Costco are not alone in taking a strong stand on diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI). The list of corporate giants pushing back on the 'anti-woke' #DEI backlash is growing in 2025.

Hopefully, the Biden's administration's successful efforts to regulate ghost guns will stand under a Trump administration, since ghost guns cut into the gun industry's profits.
The Ghost Gun Surge Is Abating. This Is How It Happened.
Ghost guns went from being relatively rare to ubiquitous in a short time span. Regulating them appears to be fueling a reversal.

I guess because they're terrified of "Those People"?
Americans vastly overestimate the size of different minority groups! For example, Americans estimated 21% of the country is transgender, but the true proportion is just 1%.
