    NAACP lists companies that dump DEI in its tactical spending guide for Black Americans

    https://apnews.com/article/black-consumers-dei-buying-guide-naacp-34664d8af92e2dc1ba787a498348b7a4

    The NAACP says the spending guide it published Saturday is needed because DEI initiatives promote the social and economic advancement of Black Americans, who are projected to consume nearly $2 trillion in goods and services in nominal dollars by 2030, according to the McKinsey Institute for Black Economic Mobility.

    Her parents were injured in a Tesla crash. She ended up having to pay Tesla damages

    https://apnews.com/article/tesla-china-lawsuits-musk-investigation-58b10ccace488784fcc63646ab78b410

    Zhang Yazhou was sitting in the passenger seat of her Tesla Model 3 when she said she heard her father’s panicked voice: The brakes don’t work!

    Tesla sued her for defamation for complaining publicly about the car’s brakes — and won. A Chinese court ordered Zhang to pay more than $23,000 in damages and publicly apologize to the $1.1 trillion company.

    ⬆️ Vance and Musk question the authority of the courts ⬇️

    https://apnews.com/article/trump-judiciary-musk-separation-of-powers-balance-checks-069c169ea1ddf6eea76f502d544c4c16

    Elon Musk to Vice President JD Vance have not only criticized a federal judge’s decision early Saturday that blocks Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency from accessing Treasury Department records, but have also attacked the legitimacy of judicial oversight, a fundamental pillar of American democracy, which is based on the separation of powers.

    Core to our democracy is our judge and jury court system. We should not be surprised if it is determined to be antiquated and replaced with AI adjudicators at some point.

    Historian wants us to see lessons we’ve ignored from Hitler's rise

    https://forward.com/news/639516/in-new-book-historian-describes-the-lessons-learned-and-ignored-from-hitlers-rise/

    “Trump is not Hitler, by any means,” says Timothy Ryback. “But I think there are modalities that are very similar."

    In his new book, “Takeover: Hitler’s Final Rise to Power”...Ryback also sets out to show how the Nazi leader came to power in a functioning democracy, enabled by rivals and fairweather allies who either underestimated him or thought they could “tame” him once he took office.

    Sorting Out the Facts on ‘Waste and Abuse’ at USAID

    https://www.factcheck.org/2025/02/sorting-out-the-facts-on-waste-and-abuse-at-usaid/

    As President Donald Trump’s administration targets the U.S. Agency for International Development for closure or major downsizing, the White House and social media posts have highlighted four projects as examples of the agency’s “waste and abuse.” But only one was funded by USAID.

    White House says Elon Musk serving as a 'special government employee'

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/white-house-says-elon-musk-serving-as-a-special-government-employee/ar-AA1ylXtV

    It’s a designation that means Musk...is working neither as a volunteer nor a full-time employee. Special government employees are asked to abide by conflict of interest requirements and ethics policies that are typically less onerous than federal employees. As a temporary position, it bypasses some of the disclosure obligations required of full-time roles.

    Marianne Faithfull, singer and pop icon, dies at 78

    https://apnews.com/article/marianne-faithfull-obit-rolling-stones-broken-english-54e9ba7a549142d2a40bea6d88e68a38

    Marianne Faithfull, the British pop star, muse, libertine and old soul who inspired and helped write some of the Rolling Stones’ greatest songs and endured as a torch singer and survivor of the lifestyle she once embodied, has died. She was 78.

    “One of the hazards of reforming your evil ways is that some people won’t let go of their mind’s eye of you as a wild thing,” she wrote in...a 2007 memoir.
