U.S. democracy will likely break down during the second Trump administration, in the sense that it will cease to meet standard criteria for liberal democracy: full adult suffrage, free and fair elections, and broad protection of civil liberties. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

So now warning viewers about racist content is DEI: Disney becomes the latest company to preempitvely succumb to Trump. www.washingtonpost.com/style/2025/0...
Disney scales back content warnings on classic films amid DEI shift
Classic films including “Dumbo” and “Peter Pan” will no longer autoplay warnings about racial stereotypes. It comes as Trump cracks down on diversity initiatives.

Tom Homan says he sent an email to the Deputy AG asking if AOC is crossing the line by providing webinars to undocumented immigrants: I’m not an attorney… maybe AOC is going to be in trouble now

This is absolutely batshit crazy. It's infuriating... Weather information is SO important. NOAA weather warnings are life saving, from North Carolina to California to New Jersey to Florida, etc.
Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).
I have covered NOAA and it’s work for like 15 years and this is brutal. If you’re there and want to chat or share anything, signal is davelevitan.26

February 20, 1939 Madison Square Garden, NY. Over 20,000 people came for German American Bund pro-Nazi rally. The Bund’s leader, Fritz Kuhn, claimed he was the “American führer.” Bet you didn’t learn about that in American History. #america #americanhistory

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government
Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”
