More importantly: What will not asking for permission do to artists?
When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public
So, if they're defunding USAID, VOA, VA, Medicaid, libraries, museums, public education, FEMA. Screwing with ACA, PBS, FDIC, SS, and Medicare or whatever else is on their shortlist. What are we paying taxes for? It's not like they're doing anything to help us, just taking stuff away.
He is so evil.
It feels like “the national debt” is a big boogeyman that politicians bring up whenever they don’t want to vote for something. I wonder at what point in history citizens were conditioned to care about it?
Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language.
The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now.
Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI.
This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.
I’m failing to understand how firing a bunch of people is going to help the economy.
Those Scrub Daddy sponges sure do release a bunch of microplastic into the drain when they start to breakdown.
Such a good point.
I was thinking this exactly. When is the last time these guys flew commercial?
I love that idea.
Good news for avid readers and book lovers. #booksky

Trump's freezing of all civil rights cases at the DOJ is not part of an anti-DEI agenda, but an anti-civil rights agenda. DOJ was *founded* to protect Black rights during Reconstruction. That this difference is unclear speaks to the success of conservative propagandists and the failures of liberals.
I’m so sorry. This is pure cruelty.
The acronym DEI should’ve never been popularized. It should be spelled out every single time. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. It’s too easy to strip rights away when you shorten it to an acronym.
Skip the noise of the news and political pageantry. Instead, watch Exterminate All the Brutes by acclaimed filmmaker Raoul Peck. This gripping 4-part docuseries unpacks the brutal history of colonialism and its lasting impacts. Streaming on MAX my colleague and I wrote the discussion guide.
Yes!!!!👏👏👏
This whole thing reeks of manipulation and propaganda, and although I’m happy for the indigenous content creators who rely on this app for income, I’m over it.
😂😂😂
I think it would be interesting to have a version of Squid Games where the contestants are super wealthy and they’re put in precarious situations they can’t just buy their way out of.
I don’t know what to call them, but I know I don’t like calling them “skeets.”
