Guardian: For universities to receive federal funding under Trump’s new demand, they basically have to cede control to Donald Trump. He seeks to forbid any program that criticizes “conservative ideals”. MIT became the 1st university to formally reject it.

How One MN School District Killed Its Right-Wing Book Ban - Racket

St. Francis School Board members recently restricted certain books to appease conservative ideologues. But the Trump-voting exurban community isn’t as monolithic as the book banners thought.

It will be a very hard investigation. There’s nothing left. So it’s best we don’t make jokes nor jump to conclusions. This is a massive tragedy for that whole town.

For me it's maddening since Qatar is tied to the 9/11 terrorist attack in various ways.

I'm so happy "Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill" has a season 2 starting. It's such a fun romp it makes me smile and forget the awfulness for a little while. (If you get Crunchyroll and watch this, make sure you eat first because you'll get HUNGRY)

I only made nine, just used one pie crust. I was going to make a soup and some homemade bread (that was the big plan, LOL) I might start the bread later and leave it to ferment overnight, though. (it's better that way anyway)

so dragged self to kitchen to do something, pulled out baggie with my cute little tartlet tins, and ended up making little tartlets with some premade pie crust, nectarines, and cottage cheese. And a mess with my mint and rosemary plants. I had bigger plans, but ran out of steam.

Two workers are hard at work loading full boxes of grapes to be taken to cold storage in Mettler, CA. It was already 90° at 1 pm which made this physically demanding job even harder. To load the truck they had to be in the direct sunlight lifting heavy 20+ lb boxes. #WeFeedYou

Donald Trump is getting pushback from special operations forces commanders and Air Force commanders… so he’s bringing in an Air Force that will be completely loyal to him and has no sworn oath to the Constitution.
