-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

Trump rolls back bedrock 1960s-era civil rights measure The move abolishes decades of government practices on diversity and equal opportunity.

Trump just revoked the Equal Employment Opportunity executive order of 1965, rolling back 60 years of progress on civil rights.

The order had prohibited employment discrimination in federal hiring based on race, religion, and gender.

Trump just withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement.

The US now joins Iran, Libya, and Yemen as the only countries in the world not in the agreement.

You are a source I've grown to trust over the years, so is there anything you'd recommend for reading up on his family's background? I find myself to be morbidly curious, given all of...this.

Musk comes from a family that moved to South Africa *for* the racism. He has repeatedly endorsed Great Replacement Theory in the US & Neo-Nazis of the AfD in Germany. He championed the rights of white nationalists and restored Nazi accounts to Twitter.

But I'm sure the Nazi salute was an accident.
