It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Reading a WWII historical fiction novel and reached the section about Italians living in Great Britain who were known as “Britalians” or “Tallies” and how they were rounded up, labeled “alien enemies,” and deported in ships fitted with barbed wire. Holy sh*t, look at us never learning a thing.

Three days ago, Donald Trump openly threatened to kill all of ‘the people of Gaza’ and it wasn’t even a story. No consequences. The media, the world, just moved on.

Looks like the future really IS female!
The mediocre people newly running our government are clearly clueless about biology. The worst part? They’re making decisions across the board based on ignorance.
But hey—not a DEI hire so it’s all good‼️

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a freshly-fallen snow, a crackling fire, a riveting mystery novel, a kettle on the stove, and a healthy supply of emotional support scones.

Costco responded to shareholders requesting that it withdraw from DEI policies. The response was direct and to the point: Costco says, "Our board has considered this proposal and believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect & inclusion is appropriate & necessary."

GOP Rep. Kay Granger (TX-12) has been missing for six months. She was just found by a reporter in a dementia care facility.
Her staff and others have been keeping this a secret from her constituents. So who’s been making these posts?

While I'm happy to have read more books than 99% of Americans, this is actually really sad. What percentage are you currently at? #BookSky

I recommend no fewer than 4 copies of any beloved book. A paperback for traveling and lending to friends, an eBook for reading with greasy snack fingers, an audio book so you know how the characters' names are actually pronounced, and a pristine hardcover to be buried with you like a pharaoh

Praying that what replaces this murderous monster holds Syrians of all faiths and sects as worthy (in other words, maybe stop killing Syrian Christians). 🇸🇾 ☮️
Syria is the most displaced nation on Earth.
60% of its population - 14M people - forced from their homes by the regime’s brutality.
Today, a golden thread has connected cities around the world as the Syrian diaspora gather to celebrate the end of Assad.
Here’s a 🧵 of global celebrations

This feels important.
Not that anyone’s going to do anything about it, but it might be good to remember that, as an adjudicated oath-breaking insurrectionist, Mr.Trump is constitutionally disqualified under Sec. 3 of 14th Am from taking the oath as president on 1/20/25 unless 2/3 of both houses lift the disqualification
