When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

“He has only just left an ICE detention center.”
"Mustafa served alongside the United States military in Afghanistan. Like so many other Afghans who helped American forces, he later came to the US for its promise of refuge. When I met him recently, though, he had only just left an ICE detention center after months behind bars."
The US Let Afghanistan Fall. Now It's Deporting Afghans.
As the Trump administration escalates deportations, tens of thousands of Afghans are in the US without permanent legal protections.

In case you'd been wondering why Trump rolls over for Putin at every turn:
Jeffrey Epstein claimed he gave Russians insight into Trump
Newly released emails show the late convicted sex offender’s extensive network of foreign contacts, whom he corresponded with about Trump’s policy decisions.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

Why do people buy pizza with EBT?
Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.
It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

35 years ago yesterday we lost Stevie Ray Vaughan in a helicopter crash. He was also 35 years old at the time of his death. SRV is considered to be one of the most influential musicians in the history of blues music, and one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

Anyone who thinks Ghislaine Maxwell is going to implicate Trump needs to think again. No doubt she's terrified. If there's anyone who took Epstein's death as a message it has to be her.

Billionaires raked in record profits under Biden, but pushed hard for Trump—now they’ve lost billions.
Here’s why they wanted Trump:
📌Tax cuts & deregulation
📌Worker exploitation
📌Keep the poor desperate
📌Racism as a weapon
📌Favor authoritarian control
They wanted domination, not just profit.

They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.
That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.

More accurate, fewer words;
"There are plenty of contractors going under".
A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.
PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.
