At least some CEOs have integrity.
✅ NEW by me:
Apple and Costco are not alone in taking a strong stand on diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI). The list of corporate giants pushing back on the 'anti-woke' #DEI backlash is growing in 2025.

Trump lost an opportunity to crush Obama's record. Bet he didn't know that before he made changes.
It was just as cold for Obama's inauguration in 2009, fyi.

THIS SEEMS SERIOUS…
🚨 NBC is reporting that Trump’s transition team is making a list of officers involved in the Afghanistan withdrawal for possible court-martial. The goal is to bring charges of treason.

Good news for once!
We’ve found a 300-year-old coral that’s so big it’s visible from space. It’s now considered the world’s largest. Best of all: it’s not yet harmed by climate change & global warming.
It’s being called a beacon of hope. Let it also be a call to action! #DoSomething 🧵
