The Trump administration’s push to eliminate DEI from the fed government is now reaching national park gift shops. A memo directs staff to review merchandise for compliance with an order from Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to halt activities related to DEI, accessibility, or “environmental justice.”

They don't care, won't care, can't be made to care about a future in which they won't be able to oppress based on race. They need to feel superior and if they can't they're willing to burn everything down. They pay lip service to meritocracy but they can't handle any competition.

And for the other groups that think aligning with white supremacist rhetoric will protect you? If we disappeared tomorrow you would be next up. White supremacy hates everyone including other white people

If George Dale in Muncie, Indiana could risk his life - and spend regular time in jail - to constantly make fun of the KKK in his newspaper in the 1920s, we can take no shit from MAGAs today.

Took 5 min today and whipped up simple designs in Canva. Sized to fix 2 x 4" and 1 x 1 5/8" mailing labels. Print them by the sheet and stick them up: lampposts, parking meters, sidewalks. (Just don't be a jerk.)
Remind people this isn't normal & they're not alone, and encourage them to act.

You can't say you care about families when you:
-rip away their healthcare
-snatch food from children & new moms
-take away free school meals
-fight to keep the minimum wage low
-do nothing about the skyrocketing cost of basic essentials
Families deserve better than to have their lives made harder

Hi, Hillsborough County library lovers, if you love having libraries, you’re going to want to pay attention to Desantis wanting to do away with property taxes as our libraries are funded mostly from a millage in f property taxes. Okay, thanks.

This is one of the symbols of the end of a democracy — insulate leaders from accountability.
Do not be surprised if an emergency declaration (based on nothing) suspends the 2026 midterms.
I say that as a historian. We have seen the playbook.
