One actually serves a useful purpose.
The image is a screenshot of a social media post by "no context memes" (@weirdddalle ). The post features an image of a Tesla Cybertruck parked next to a dumpster in a parking lot, with another vehicle partially visible on the left. The text on the image reads: "Spot the difference" followed by a broken heart emoji (). The background includes trees, a fence, and a building, with a sign on the dumpster enclosure.

Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.
ABA It has been three weeks since Inauguration Day. Most Americans recognize that newly elected leaders bring change. That is expected. But most Americans also expect that changes will take place in accordance with the rule of law and in an orderly manner that respects the lives of affected individuals and the work they have been asked to perform. Instead, we see wide-scale affronts to the rule of law itself, such as attacks on constitutionally protected birthright citizenship, the dismantling of USAID and the attempts to criminalize those who support lawful programs to eliminate bias and enhance diversity. We have seen attempts at wholesale dismantling of departments and entities created by Congress without seeking the required congressional approval to change the law. There are efforts to dismiss employees with little regard for the law and protections they merit, and social media announcements that disparage and appear to be motivated by a desire to inflame without any stated factual basis. This is chaotic. It may appeal to a few. But it is wrong. And most Americans recognize it is wrong. It is also contrary to the rule of law. The American Bar Association supports the rule of law. That means holding governments, including our own, accountable under law. We stand for a legal process that is orderly and fair. We have consistently urged the administrations of both parties to adhere to the rule of law. We stand in that familiar place again today. And we do not stand alone. Our courts stand for the rule of law as well.

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.

Really think about how twisted this all is.

What a joy to be asked to guest with B.A.B.E. for I Love Musicals, an improvised musical set in the world of a 1950’s sitcom. It was truly lightning in a bottle. #BettyLouWho?

I ask a not-so-simple favor…

Tomorrow, I’ll be spending my time honoring MLK’s legacy & posting about it. Join me.

My ask—stay aware. Take time later to learn what unfolds in DC. I saw a post on IG from Bernice King that I thought was perfect, and sharing a bit here. Take a moment…

Puppet Deana is already over 2025.
Puppet Deana (a puppet version of Deana) wears green glasses, and a gold clip in her blonde hair. She looks exasperated.

Who wants to gush about Wicked with me?! I’ve seen it twice and will go back this weekend. These two women do incredible work. Their love on screen and in every interview is a master class in women supporting each other.
