Imagine dismantling the only federal agency dedicated to uplifting minority businesses— That’s exactly what Trump did. The MBDA went from nearly 100 employees to just a few. You don’t gut an agency like that unless you’re trying to kill its mission.

Not going to lie—as a longtime @MSNBC.com viewer, I’m bitter about what’s happening at that network, and I won’t forget it. BUT I do appreciate this moment—giving @joyannreid.bsky.social her flowers. She signs off the way she always does: doing the work and showing us the path to save democracy.

Just looked bc we should ALWAYS seek to verify and here’s what I noticed: Holocaust Remembrance Day is not on my calendar. 1/27 Juneteenth is still there (for now). 6/19 For some odd reason I couldn’t select 9/15 (start of Hispanic Heritage Month). BUT there was no lil dot under it anyway.
Google Calendar has removed key cultural events from their site including: • Pride Month • Black History Month • Holocaust Remembrance Day • Jewish Heritage • Hispanic Heritage • Indigenous People Month

@raskin.house.gov: "Mexico said they were gonna put 10k troops on the border-- they already had 15k troops on the border! ... He just likes a lot of razzle dazzle and noise, but the leaders of the world are laughing at him. And we can recognize what a fraudulent pretense this whole thing was."
