Another sad group of pro-Elon Musk counter-protestors at the Tesla Takedown protest on Long Island in New York.

It will never be the “Gulf of America.”

However, it is definitely a distraction from all the crappy things they’re doing at the moment.
Trump’s decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico may be upsetting to some, writes @giladedelman.bsky.social, but “in a democracy, values are determined by majority rule, and they don’t shift in only one direction. They can shift back”:
‘The Gulf of America’ Is the Wrong Fight to Pick
The more that politicians mess around with place names, the more important it is to respond according to consistent principles.

Trump went from planning to "end" the HIV epidemic by 2030 to increasing the number of HIV infections more than 6 times by 2029
The head of the U.N. AIDS agency said Monday the number of new HIV infections could jump more than six times by 2029 if American support of the biggest AIDS program is dropped, warning that millions of people could die and more resistant strains of the disease could emerge.
If US support is dropped and not replaced, UNAIDS chief says HIV infections could jump over 6 times
UNAIDS Executive Director Winnie Byanyima warned that millions of people could die and more resistant strains of the disease could emerge.

⚡️ UPDATE: judge blocks order to slash NIH funding — in 22 Blue states that sued.

This hurts Tennessee badly. Will @agtennessee Skrmetti sue Trump to make sure ground-breaking medical research continues here?

Or will politics come before people? 🤷🏻

“The rising pressure to get deportation numbers up will likely yield increasingly sloppy and inhumane measures as the dragnet is thrown ever wider.”

So to be clear - in Tennessee unidentified white men in hoodies can grab any immigrant that "looks" undocumented, and if officials even as much as vote to protect them it's a felony.

This is where we are now.
