Some Head Start early childhood programs are being told by the federal government to remove a list of nearly 200 words and phrases from their funding applications or face denial.

The words include "accessible," "belong," "Black," "disability," "female," "minority," "trauma," "tribal" and "women."

NEW: The Trump-Vance White House has falsely accused an ally of Pope Leo — Sr. Norma Pimentel — of illegal activity tied to migrant aid, and cut off all federal funding to Catholic Charities in Texas.

Church leaders say it’s a targeted, political reprisal against Pope Leo and the Catholic Church.

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.
Here he is taking the photo.

Anyone telling you that unquestioned loyalty to a political party is necessary for you to have rights and be safe is a COWARD and an opportunist

The Democrats work for YOU. All elected leaders work for YOU. You pay them. You elect them.

Demand better from your employees.
