Haha! My mother used to say that little rhyme when I was a kid and made a rhyme! 😊 #mainah #hwlongfellow

A card reads: "These Words Are Disappearing in the New Trump Administration." A long list of words follows, including: biologically female; biologically male; BIPOC; Black; breastfeed + people; clean energy; climate crisis; climate science; commercial sex worker; community diversity; community equity; confirmation bias; cultural competence; cultural differences; cultural heritage; cultural sensitivity; culturally appropriate; culturally responsive; DEI; equity; feminism; genders.

Agencies within the Trump administration have flagged hundreds of words to limit or avoid, according to a compilation of government documents. These terms appeared in government memos, in official and unofficial agency guidance and in other documents. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Hey White MAGA Christians, You Know DEI Was Jesus' Whole Point, Right? So, DEI is the new “woke”: MAGA America’s default boogeyman-du-jour.

The reality, is that diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the very heart of the life, teachings, and existence of Jesus.
Christians fighting these things are rebelling against their supposed God and opposing their faith's namesake.

If several groups of workers were fired and then rehired a week or two later, how long would the boss keep their job? #dogeisajoke

CALL TO ACTION: Call your representatives at (202) 224-3121 and ask what criteria they plan to use when “vetting” their constituents.

Just watched "The Quick and the Dead", one of my favorite Westerns, starring Gene Hackman. May he RIP.

Social media post by marco.foster on Twitter, with the text: 'Pedro Pascal (who has a trans sister) continues to stand up for trans rights. You love to see it .' The post includes a photo of Pedro Pascal in a black suit with a red pin, standing against a red background with a gold circular design. Below the photo, there’s a quote from pascalispunk, posted 3 days ago, stating: 'I can’t think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community, except of the people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist.'

My esteem for Pedro Pascal grows ever greater.

Social media post by Brandon Friedman ( @brandonfried ...) on X, posted 1 hour ago, with the text: 'All the folks who exited NBC today. Seen together, hoo boy. Message received.' The post includes a grid of six headshot photos of individuals who reportedly left NBC, arranged in two rows of three.

Put all the “DEI” folks who got let go onto a new network and I’d watch the shit out of it.

“They’re Scared Shitless”: The Threat of Political Violence Informing Trump’s Grip on Congress With the president smashing norm after norm, even lawmakers within his party have feared for their personal safety, and at least one has told confidants that it has swayed his decision-making.

She isn’t wrong.

Elon Musk is a carnival barker whose dipshitted prattle only sounds smart to people who know nothing at all about whatever subject he’s pretending to know something about.

Perfectly captured.

Weird how only 4 years later Trump hates the USMCA trade agreement he made with Mexico and Canada.

It's almost like he's not really a master dealmaker.

Not great.

I’m pretty sure I already live in that country

money meet mouth.

America First?

This is perfection. @crampell.bsky.social is soooo smart.

We are now living in a KAKISTOCRACY: Government by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state.

"The Christianity of Trump" is an oxymoron.

🤦‍♀️

I was thinking they need an acronym like "RINO". Thoughts?
