It’s important to emphasize that Musk and Trump killed these people and not for any particular benefit, but because breaking something that helps people provided a fleeting thrill in their empty lives

I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinsonβ€”as a ballplayer, serviceman, or humanβ€”without discussing our country’s history of racism.

I hate the fucking maga meathead Tkachuk antics. The US being babies about the anthem booing is so fucking embarrassing that I hope Canada fucking destroys us in this game.

Linda McMahon, testifying before a Senate committee considering her nomination to be secretary of education, said she did not know whether a school would be legally permitted to offer a Black history class or allow clubs centered on racial or ethnic identity.
She said she would β€œwant to know what the clubs are doing.β€β€©β€œThat’s pretty chilling,” replied Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Connecticut).
Asked specifically if a Black history course would be legal, she said she was β€œnot quite certain.”

Personally I’m just glad free speech and academic freedom are protected again, and we’ve gotten rid of all that political correctness www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Asanda Zondi received a startling phone call last Thursday, with orders to make her way to a health clinic in Vulindlela, South Africa, where she was participating in a research study that was testing a new device to prevent pregnancy and H.IV. infection.

The trial was shutting down, a nurse told her. The device, a silicone ring inserted into her vagina, needed to be removed right away.

When Ms. Zondi, 22, arrived at the clinic, she learned why: The U.S. Agency for International Development, which funded the study, had withdrawn financial support and had issued a stop-work order to all organizations around the globe that receive its money. The abrupt move followed an executive order by President Trump freezing all foreign aid for at least 90 days. Since then, the Trump administration has taken steps to dismantle the agency entirely.

Ms. Zondi’s trial is one of dozens that have been abruptly frozen, leaving people around the world with experimental drugs and medical products in their bodies, cut off from the researchers who were monitoring them, and generating waves of suspicion and fear.

Sorry folks, but because the federal government is now run by Elon Musk, it will no longer be fully operational in the rain.
