The only things MAGA opposes about HBCUs are history, Black people, and colleges and universities.

FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.

The honest thing for “radical centrists” and anyone who ever breathed the phrase “divisive concepts” to do is to celebrate this as a win, since it’s very much what they worked for

Old enough to remember when Republicans used abortion to claim the moral high ground.
Turns out they just hate women.

Half the world is now investigating Epstein, while America is covering it up. When the truth comes out (it will), Republicans are going to scatter like the pedophilia-protecting cockroaches that they are.

The "young intern" at the White House who has been retweeting juvenile, racist, and otherwise embarrassing material from Donald Trump's account for at least 11 years was born on June 14, 1946 at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, New York, NY. He sometimes goes by the name John Barron.

I just shoveled out the whole driveway (for my 3-unit condo), the trash bins, the sidewalk, the stairs, my car, etc. I am staying home until spring.

Just because we aren't totally surprised, doesn't mean we can shrug it off. Decency, dignity, and humanity matter, even now. Especially now.

NBC is editing out JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. CBS and ABC paid millions in bogus settlements to fund Trump. CNN made Scott Jennings a rightwing star. The Washington Post just laid off 300 journalists.

PSA: You can opt out of the face screening camera at airport security BUT you have to tell them before they scan your ID. When you walk up say "I'd like to opt out of the facial recognition screening."
Brought to you by security refusing to let me opt out "because you already gave us your ID." 🙄

The man who told reporters it’s time to move on from the Epstein files won’t shut up about the 2020 election.

Resist ALL things Jeff Bezos - Amazon, Washington Post, Kindle, Audible…stop supporting his companies.
If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
