10 ways to be prepared and grounded now that Trump has won
A few months into this shitshow (again!) but still good advice.
All work restrictions would be lifted on 16- and 17-year-olds in Florida under new bill
Florida, since working hard to deport those durned immigrant workers that support their economy, now need a new workforce to, um, support their economy.

I first heard this on As it Happens the other night, which unfortunately does not separate stories as often as they should but it is the first story on this episode. Give it a listen.
‘Segregated facilities’ are no longer explicitly banned in federal contracts
What is old is new again, and Trump just brought segregation back.
There are other laws in the way still, but neither the courts nor Congress have stopped him from breaking the law or getting rid of things he doesn’t like yet.
Exclusive: Navajo Code Talkers disappear from military websites after Trump DEI order
In line with their efforts to erase women and minorities from our shared history, the Trump bastards have erased the Wind Talkers from our nation’s military websites.
Look, we KNOW they are racist and sexist pieces of shit. But these are orders. Bad orders, illegal orders. Who the fuck is carrying these out? Who isn’t raising a stink? Who isn’t pulling a pistol and saying “FUCK NO!” to whoever gives them such a nasty direction?
Marines with Skin Condition Affecting Mostly Black Men Could Now Be Booted Under New Policy
Oh look, our alcoholic racist SecDef is trying to turn the military into a whites-only boys club.
