On Tuesday, European leaders pushed back against Trump's interest in acquiring Greenland. How did the president hear about this idea anyway?
Allegedly, he got the idea from Ronald Lauder of Estée Lauder, the $29 billion makeup brand.

As someone who resides in Oakland, CA and also a Black woman...powerful words by Mayor Barbara Lee. Yes to hope-and yes to fighting for our democracy.
Lee: As a Black woman, there’s no way I don’t have hope. I’ve seen a lot in my life, and we have these moments of backward steps. But we have hope. I see hope. I see our young people—they have hope. I see them fighting hard for our democracy and for a better life.

Instead of moving forward and embracing all people from diverse backgrounds...the new trend seems to be rolling back progress and getting rid of anything that is #woke #DEI (code word "Black")
"Dismantling #DEI stifles innovation, alienates diverse consumer bases, and undermines the ability of organizations to compete in an increasingly global and diverse economy."

Course changes at the University of North Texas’ college of education included removing words such as “race,” “gender,” “class” and “equity” from titles and descriptions
‘Race,’ ‘equity’ removed from UNT course titles to comply with Texas DEI ban, faculty say
The University of North Texas changed class titles and descriptions with some citing the state’s DEI ban though officials deny that’s the cause.

If House Republicans really wanted to protect women, they'd release the Ethics Committee report on Matt Gaetz' alleged sex trafficking - not try to ban their colleagues from using the bathroom. Stop the bigotry and release the report.

Remember when Maganuts were trying to antagonize the left by saying, “Y’all didn’t even vote for Kamala to be your candidate,” which is straight b/s. Well now they’re silent on the fact that they have Elon Musk as their Co-President… Elon Musk who was not on the ticket, who they didn’t vote for!
