I personally will continue to use "Gulf of Mexico" because our president is a wrathful felonious nincompoop with the intellect of paramecium and I do not consent to his cartographic buffoonery
Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:

-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.

-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

The richest man in the world being a Nazi and at the right hand of the fascist President is maybe the most potent lesson in the evils of capitalism and the lengths that the ruling class will go to hoard their wealth and keep their power.

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...

Charting a New Path Forward
The Left had little influence on Joe Biden's foreign policy and will have none over the next four years. How can leftists build the capacity to carry a foreign policy message into 2026 and beyond?

We didn't set the world on fire — oligarchs did.

The rich are deliberately sacrificing our homes and neighborhoods so that the profit train never stops.

The only way out is a mass movement that tackles the problem down at the root, the capitalist system.
