BREAKING: We filed a class-action complaint with @democracyforward.org against the Trump Admin on behalf of federal workers who were unlawfully targeted for their participation in diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Trump can't target federal workers based on their perceived values around DEI.

All I keep thinking about is how Pete Hegseth raised questions of the competency of a Black four-star general and Air Force fighter pilot who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth asked did he get the job “because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt.”

Times have been tough in this Ohio town ever since they shut down the old ketamine factory. So when Mark Zuckerberg promised to bring back online hate speech, they finally had something to cheer about. But now the woke mob wants to take that all away.

The AHA vetoed the resolution on grounds that it is outside the organization's mission and bylaws but passed this resolution three years ago. Shame.

Because I am a historian who goes to primary sources, I looked up the AHA's mission: it's..."to enhance the work of historians also encompasses professional standards and ethics, innovative scholarship and teaching, academic freedom, and international collaboration."
Outside the scope? For shame.

Here we are again
We live in Northern California, where irises are blooming around the corner on this mild January day. I just had a conversation with our neighbor about the fires (his child is in college in LA) and immigration (he's been here for 25 years, started a business, brought up a kid who's at a private school on a merit scholarship, but he may be at risk). Welcome to 2025.Here's my plan: while we all move through whatever the year has in store for us, I'm going to be back here writing more or less week
