I had heard about the Gulf of America nonsense because it was such a brazen move on the Trump administration's part, but the Denali-Mt. McKinley change is revolting in its own right. Indigenous peoples have seen no shortage of attempts to erase their cultural significance. This is just another insult.
"Other news organizations need to stand with the AP on this. Because if they don't, it won't stop here."
The administration is on a campaign to intimidate the media and it will only be opposed successfully if they band together to defend the free press and if the public supports them.
I really hope the AP's response to being banned from the Inner Sanctum is "Eh, whatever, dude. We can just get your lies second-hand from the other news outlets."
Here's an idea: Focus on reporting outside the Oval Office, on the effects Trump's policies are having. You know, REALITY. Sounds crazy, but it just might work.
Well, so much for the ill-fated WH press corps standing together, in solidarity before the bully, and defending their 1st amendment. "Do not obey in advance" does not apply in the Oval Office as they kneel and kiss the ring.
Trump's order to remove doubleplus-ungood crimethink from federal websites results in a lawsuit by doctors, who say the FDA and CDC shutting down certain public-health databases is impairing their ability to treat their patients. A federal judge agrees and orders the data reinstated.
Oh, sorry, forgot to translate this into Frankish: "Leftists throw tantrum."
Trump's dictates are just that. The rantings of a wannabe dictator. Bootlickers like Google should be shamed.

Next up is demanding a story saying Trump really won in 2020.
Well stated. Most important is the closing:

The childish tantrum-throwing progress resistance of the left is finally getting the treatment it deserves.
