Trump already empowering the worst bosses to just.. ignore labor law.
Whole Foods workers won their union vote, and now Whole Foods (owned by Jeff Bezos) is saying they simply won't recognize the vote because nobody is going to make them.

If I was running a major news org, I’d keep the focus on the Musk story, which is a real thing. Trump talking about x,y,z isn’t—unless he backs it up with action. Cover what he says, sure, but don’t let him dictate the news agenda.

The bronze bust of Magnus Hirschfeld somehow survived the bonfire.
A street cleaner salvaged it from the ashes the day after the burnings & hid it.
The bust was donated to the Berlin Academy of Arts in the GDR after the end of World War II.

Hey, while we're talking about erasing history:
In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun."
The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen.
So they refused to announce a winner🤡

The folks obsessively posting about egg prices for the past few years have gone strangely quiet just as egg prices hit an all-time high.
