Remembering Jan. 6 today. Day of sedition, infamy, disgrace, discredit, shame, and dishonor. I remember the unfolding drama the same way I remember JFK's assassination, the twin towers on 9/11, the Challenger tragedy, and Hurricane Katrina.

one of the many stories of the trump administration is the extent to which its policy agenda is a massive fuck you to rural communities
Trump just ended a Biden-era program because its title contained the word "equity." But many red states *want* to participate in this program. They'd submitted plans to access its funds partly to expand internet to rural voters. Now they might not get it.

Angry Trump Kills “Woke” Program—and Accidentally Screws MAGA Voters
It’s called the Digital Equity Act. That word—“equity”—caught the White House’s attention. So now Trump is moving to nix funding—but it could cut off millions destined for red America.
