Rose Marie McCoy wrote and produced some of the biggest pop songs in the 1950s. Her songs “After All” and “Gabbin’ Blues” never quite took off on the charts, but she was courted by music labels to write for other artists, including hit singles for Big Maybelle, Elvis Presley, and Big Joe Turner.

“Despite the demands of Trump, Leavitt, and Big Brother, the AP is not changing their style to suit the whims of a would-be tinpot dictator. And by defying Trump, the AP has created a rallying point for other organizations and individuals to find their spines and defy him as well.”

This maybe an unpopular things to say, but who cares if the Gulf of Mexico is called the Gulf of America. Yes it's wrong, but it's deflecting from things that are way more important that are being done by this administration. This is not the hill I'm prepared to die on.

Trump's flurry of anti-trans executive orders is justified as "protecting women."
In reality, they are an attack on all women and girls, cis and trans. They make sexual abuse easier. And they're targeting research into women's health care for defunding.
