At an event celebrating what would've been Medgar Evers' 100th birthday, Stacey Abrams decried Trump administration plans to strip his name from a Navy vessel.

"They want to take his name off a boat because they don't want us to have a reminder of how far he sailed us forward," she said.

Of course the President is wrong to claim that the United States is subsidizing Canada to the tune of $200 billion per year. That's (an overstatement of) our bilateral trade deficit. And in the video below, I'll explain the economic fallacy that leads the President to misinterpret this differential.

This should put the criticisms against solar fields to rest. It won't, because we don't like to think critically in the US. But it should.

New study compares growing corn for energy to solar production. It’s no contest.
In fact, it would require about 31 hectares of corn ethanol to produce the same amount of energy generated by one hectare of land covered in solar panels.

When I took the history reporter job, I told my editor I would never "both sides" the Civil War, Confederates or slavery. I never did.

But here, ChatGPT (pic 1) has turned my work (pics 2,3) into whitewashed pablum and put MY FUCKING NAME on it.

I am livid, I am shaking. I don't know what to do.
A screenshot from ChatGPT: "Amid the tension that led to the Civil War, Lee was presented with a choice: remain loyal to the to Union, or side with his home state of Virginia and the Confederate cause. His decision to join the South has been interpreted in myriad ways. Some point to his deep ties to Virginia, and his personal conviction that he could not raise arms against his homeland. Others argue it was a reflection of a broader worldview, one that saw slavery as integral to Southern society -- a worldview that Lee never fully rejected despite his many claims of personal discomfort with the institution. A screenshot of my actual WaPo writing on Lee: "Lee is sometimes defended as a "man of his times," who, by the standards of the day, could not have concluded that slavery was wrong or that he could choose loyalty to the United States over Virginia. The former claim ignores the millions of Black Americans who were able to divine slavery's evil at that time, not to mention White abolitionists and White Southerners such as Cassius Marcellus Clay, James Birney and Elizabeth Van Lew, who inherited enslaved people and freed them. As for the latter claim it is worth noting that other high-ranking military officers from Virginia remained loyal to the United States, among them generals Winfield Scott and George Thomas." A screenshot of my actual work reading: "And despite what old revisionist history or social media memes claim, Lee owned enslaved people. He drove them hard, and he pursued and punished them when they escaped. He separated families to pay off debts and fought in court to prevent them from being freed."

It's been 104 days since Trump was sworn into office, and his administration still won't address the most critical questions. Namely, how many electrolytes do plants need?

Nearly every major American social media platform is controlled by just one or two men.

And Supreme Court decisions on corporate constitutional rights give those founders unprecedented power to shape society. buff.ly/POuT1ev #CitizensUnited #HobbyLobby #TikTokBan

The "energy independence" argument for NOT allowing EVs is wild. Well over 90% of all electricity used in the US is generated in the US. 🤦‍♂️
