The basic premise of the Trump Administration is that everyone hates people of color—indeed the multicultural, polyglot Omni-American—as much as they do, and so it is a confusing time for them.

3 panel comic titled “Logging into Bluesky”

Panel 1: 
A Pink Guy bursts into Bluesky wearing a t-shirt that says “Fun”. His little face looks so happy.

Panel 2: 
Six Bluesky users turn to look at the Pink Guy. They all look dour and angry because they have been overdosing on the discourse. Having the current state of the world mainlined into their veins for 22 hours a day has left them real grumpy.

Panel 3:
Pink Guy slowly removes his t-shirt and quietly says “sorry”. He won’t soon forget that Bluesky is the home of Serious Discussion. If he wants “Fun” maybe he should log into the Barney the Dinosaur forums.

Given the conservatism of the NFL, the Bills framing their outreach to southern Ontario as business makes sense, but the fact is that the people of Buffalo love Canada. Thank you, @matthewfairburn.bsky.social

For the Buffalo Bills, ‘O Canada’ is business — and something bigger (Gift Article)
The Bills’ Canadian anthem salute is rooted in business and decades of cross-border fandom. In this political moment, it means more.

NEW: Yet another group of researchers is suing the NIH and HHS over a massive purge of federal research grants. The class-action suit alleges the Trump admin is violating scientists' first amendment rights by using keyword searches to censor science that doesn't align with its political views.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.

As a scientist/historian I spent time screaming into the ether, during Covid, at the assertions being made by journos & politicos that the last big epidemic was the flu in 1918. They glossed over AIDS/HIV. However, from that horror rose one of the most effective protest movements ever. Read on -

Access to fair and affordable housing is a human right. The Trump Administration's attempt to withhold vital funding for fair housing programs would have been another attack on Massachusetts families and our ability to protect them from discrimination. We will keep fighting back.
