#Trump’s order calls the #Smithsonian’s evolving approach a “revisionist” history “with a distorted narrative driven by ideology rather than truth” that is “inherently racist, sexist, oppressive, or otherwise irredeemably flawed.”

Does he just describe himself but sub the names of the institutions he attacks wherever his name was?

Kudos to the incoming president at our state university (UVM). Taking her experience at Boise State (an "underfunded, scrappy underdog that was constantly innovating") and applying it to the new challenges to higher ed.

Curiosity abounds around a contentious protester! William F. Beals II, linked to the far-right **Three Percenters**, staged intense demonstrations outside Tesla dealerships, particularly in Tennessee. His past as a pardoned January 6 convict adds complexity to his claims of consumer rights advocacy against threats to Elon Musk's ventures. This situation illustrates the growing polarization in U.S. culture wars.

« Despite the industry’s (often undeserved) reputation for liberalism, its reactionary foundations were baked in almost from the beginning. […] At the height of the dotcom mania in the 1990s, many critics warned of a creeping reactionary fervor. […] Throughout the decade, Silicon Valley not only became a leading space for a war on the “PC police”, but entrepreneurs also came to represent some of the biggest anti-PC culture warriors. […] This rising “technofascism”, as critics of the time had called it, was temporarily staved off by the dotcom stock market crash of 2000. […] But a younger generation of aspiring tech hopefuls had already come to the valley, seeking fame, riches, and power. […] The Silicon Valley titans of 2025 are following the same blueprint. » theguardian.com/technology/ng-

AP News · Google Calendar users no longer see default entries for events like Pride, Black History MonthGoogle’s online calendar has removed default references for a handful of holidays and cultural events — with users noticing that mentions of Pride and Black History Month, as well as other observances, no longer appear in their desktop and mobile applications. The omissions gained particular attention online over the last week. But Google says it made the change midway through last year. Separate from this Calendar shift, Google has also gained attention over its more recent decision to change the names of the Gulf of Mexico and Denali on Google Maps, following orders from President Donald Trump. The tech giant confirmed that the that new the Gulf of America name had gone into effect this week.
