St. Thomas loses grant to bolster state’s teacher supply after Trump labels it a ‘DEI initiative’ The $6.8 million grant funds scholarships and stipends for 185 students. The St. Paul university said it doesn’t view it as a DEI initiative.

A multimillion-dollar federal grant to the University of St. Thomas, intended to develop future teachers, was canceled last week after the Trump administration deemed it was related to diversity, equity and inclusion.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

National Science Foundation suspends salary payments, leaving researchers unable to pay their bills An NSF online payment system remained down after the federal funding freeze was lifted, leaving early-career scientists scrambling to pay bills

“If the freeze is not stopped, I might lose my house."

Some NSF-funded postdocs are having trouble paying rent and credit card bills because their salaries were paused this week, even though the federal funding freeze memo was rescinded.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.

He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.

It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

The head of the FAA, Mike Whitaker, resigned on January 20 — one year into his 5 year term — after facing relentless criticism from Musk for not approving SpaceX missions quickly enough.

The Senate confirmed him unanimously in 2023.

No acting FAA head has been appointed.

Reports of ICE harassing even indigenous people are an extra layer of disturbing that I didn't forsee. But here's what should happen! Please share #laloalcaraz cartoons

Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who agrees that Jim Acosta was one of the few watchable journalists on CNN before they let him go, and MSNBC should prioritize hiring him to replace Andrea Mitchell or Katy Tur.

Or BOTH.

In his parting message @jimacosta.bsky.social said we should all post:

I will not give into the lies.
I will not give into the fear.

We understand the assignment, Jim. And fuck @cnn.com.

Jim Acosta just powerfully announced on air he is leaving CNN with the words: "It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant." He added, "Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope." Amen. Jim will be missed.

Mike Johnson represents a state whose largest city was built below sea level behind levees sandwiched between the ocean and a massive river on hurricane alley, but he doesn’t want to give aid to CA because their policies invite natural disasters.

“I’m straight up just saying we should not have women in combat roles.” 
 
“We need moms. But not in the military, especially in combat units.”

These are infuriating, & disqualifying quotes from Pete Hegseth—and his recent about-face on women in the military is simply not convincing.

Costco shareholders just sent a clear message: DEI is here to stay.

Attempts to roll back progress were crushed—because diversity isn’t a ‘risk,’ it’s a strength. 🔥

So, keep the $1.50 hotdogs coming 🌭

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

Trumpsters often say, “Politicians don’t keep it real or say what’s on their mind, but Trump does,” and that’s what they like about him.

MAGA, please meet Anders Vistisen of Denmark…

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

I completely understand TikTok creators being upset that they are losing income. I don’t understand being upset at Dems when Trump & Rs are the ones who started this. Now they suddenly reverse their position to enrich themselves. Wake up, open your eyes, you’re being conned.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Trump literally leaving his supporters out in the cold while he and his billionaire buddies stay warm and cozy inside is the most Trumpian thing in the history of Trump.

MAGA will never learn will they?
