Lies. Pardon. Insurrection as peace.
What a country.
PBS shutters DEI office
Fuck PBS for obeying in advance.
‘We’ll all have to go vegan’: Wisconsin dairy farmers fret over immigration crackdown
This is actually a surprisingly level-headed article. Granted it is isn’t US media but I am shocked *anyone* is still doing journalism at this point.
Herein we meet farmers who, despite their politics, know their industry is about to get kicked in the teeth. Sure, some are still for making the US a white ethnostate and I wish them nothing but the same pain they wish on others.
This week in Google
Remember this slogan?
Yeah, once upon a time Google used to operate by this singular standard.
These days? Not so much. As of today, this is what they are calling the Gulf of Mexico.
Yeah, they are sucking up to Trump.
Over at Google Calendar, they are removing Black History Month, Indigenous People Month, Jewish Heritage, Holocaust Remembrance Day, and Hispanic Heritage Month, among others. Their “reasoning”? It is all too hard to keep track of. You know, the site that catalogs the whole ass internet can’t sort a few hundred days properly.
We have a LOT of rich tech folks getting on their knees for an old racist.
NFL will remove ‘End Racism’ from the end zones ahead of Super Bowl
Remember back in 2019 when the Navy covered up the name of the John S. McCain so as not to offend Trump’s fragile ego? Yeah, this is a lot like that.
The NFL is not going to use the “End Racism” slogan at the edge of the end zone like they’ve been doing since 2020 because Trump wants to go the Super Bowl.
Not a single institution in this nation has the spine to stand up against this racist. Not one. We deserve whatever is coming I guess.
We are gonna do a movie marathon instead on Sunday. Fuck these enabling shits.
Boycotting Target because of its DEI policies is going to hurt. That’s the point.
Cutting off the Target shopping isn’t easy. And it may not be completely possible depending on where you live. But give it some consideration. Even a reduction in what you get there…and just cutting out the impulse purchases is the death by a thousand cuts approach.
Either way, what you do to spend your values is your call.
“A lot of fear going on”: Texas immigrant community on edge during Trump’s first weeks
Hate is on the march. In this story, we meet a cop who was fine harming other people but drew the line at his father-in-law. Oh, and watching insurrectionists and cop beaters freed.
You know, things that were promised but he chose not to believe.
Damn ALL of these traitors to hell.
When Will the Democrats Stand Up Against Fascist Culture Wars and For the Party’s Base?
Fair question but the answer is probably not much, or even at all.
Twin Cities Pride Nearly Doubles Fundraising Goal in Days
It was a huge risk for TC Pride to get rid of Target after it decided to join the bigots in the White House. Losing, at minimum, $50,000 in sponsorship money is a serious decision to make.
That said, crisis averted, and nearly even doubled in the days since that decision. It may not be long-term sustainable at the moment, but so glad folks stepped up to make it happen.
Millions of Americans Don’t Have Documents Proving Their Citizenship Readily Available
First off, you are being dangerously negligent if your paperwork is not up to date.
Racist fascists are in power. You should have the ability to bail out if necessary. Get it done.
On the other hand, making it harder to vote is just the prelude to getting rid of democracy. This is exactly that.
That said, making rabid racists have to get a passport is just funny. Less money for golden gaudy sneakers I guess.
