My partner ordered a Congo red on this case and left for me to report, and I can’t find much in the literature.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

Brilliant piece of writing. Spot on. 😣
Yesterday's would-be federal funding freeze fiasco was the first true test of the mainstream media's ability to cover the second Trump administration. It was an embarrassing failure. Adapt or die. Or, at the very least, die with some dignity.

This is a superb summary, a 10,000 ft view of exactly what’s happening in this country right now. It’s the culmination of the long game played by a group of very patient, exceptionally wealthy men 😣
Make no mistake: Trump’s first week was a catastrophe for many vulnerable people. But the biggest story was his startling initial moves from democracy to oligarchy.
