“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”

A Time of Anxiety and Fear for Trump’s Enemies

Some said they were worried that the Justice Department or F.B.I. could launch internal or criminal investigations into actions they took during the course of their work, even if they acted legally and in good faith.
Others said they were concerned that they might lose private-sector jobs or clients. And some… said they took seriously the possibility that Trump supporters, heeding his calls for retribution, would harass or attack them or their families.

Trump Really Is Renaming the Gulf of Mexico

Donald Trump will order the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska’s Mount Denali in his first hours as the 47th president.
The Gulf of Mexico will be rechristened the Gulf of America, and Denali, the highest mountain in North America, will revert to Mount McKinley — which it was called in the sight of the US government until President Barack Obama changed the name in 2015.

Other than some maps from USGS, everyone else will still know it’s the Gulf of Mexico.
