People are unfairly alleging that the President of the United States doesn't understand the meaning of the word 'communism'. He's correctly using it in the sense well understood by Birchers, neo-Nazis, and Klansmen for decades -- it means any opposition to white supremacy.

Following the murder of nursing student Laken Riley, for which an undocumented immigrant was convicted, 46 Democrats joined Republicans to pass Collins’ Laken Riley Act, which tightens requirements for federal immigration authorities and expands the rights of states in immigration criminal justice issues.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:srogdnkbzfh244vlcsf6pxwd/bafkreidmno4kg7a77b6py3vijpd3uhm4jrcej256dye3qpg24l4rsasnvq)
![Interview excerpt: "Catherine Shaw: Okay. When Frank Oppenheimer, the founder, died, there was an interregnum which was somewhat difficult, and the next director was not a good
fit. He was a good person, but not a good fit. So they were having difficulties. In fact, during that period, we happened to be in London, and at the Natural History Museum there, they asked us all about it. And we knew nothing, and they kept assuming that we were simply hiding the truth. [chuckles] And later we learned that many small,
independent museums die under those circumstances, and that was what was expected of the Exploratorium. So they had an employees’ retreat, and staff retreated at Asilomar for a day or two. And during the course of that, Larry came up with the idea of Pi Day as something to unify the staff. And developed a Pi Shrine, which I have with me."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:srogdnkbzfh244vlcsf6pxwd/bafkreicirwjv6drn26map5pivbiwm7tdsvfdbk2ks26y6sgdsyptmrlz3m)
