  1. I didn't realize that #theweatherchannel is using #GulfOfAmerica instead of #gulfofmexico until this morning when I checked on a tropical depression. Disgusting. Now I have to give up using that channel because they're Trump sycophants. I really hate what's happening to this country #weather #news #cowards

  2. #PublicRadio Station Forced to Call #GulfOfMexico the #GulfOfAmerica

    The #UniversityOfAlabama at #Birmingham is rolling over to #Trump and his acolytes in the state, rather than stand up for editorial independence.

    Seth Stern, Clayton Weimers
    October 2 2026

    "The Alabama legislature passed a bill in late March requiring all state and local entities to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the 'Gulf of America,' in line with one of the many executive orders Trump signed on his first day in office. The legislation does not set forth penalties for noncompliance, but its sponsor, state Rep. David Standridge, called it 'an opportunity to make a patriotic statement' on the House floor in January. Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, a Trump ally, signed the bill into law.

    "Birmingham public radio station WBHM told its listeners in a letter from Will Dahlberg, the station’s executive director and general manager, that due to the law, which took effect October 1, the University of Alabama at Birmingham is forcing it to use the legislature’s preferred language in its reporting. The move puts it at odds with #NPR, of which it is a member station; The #AssociatedPress, which publishes the style guide used by newsrooms across the country; and other journalistic institutions. The station is licensed to the university, making its employees both state and #UAB employees. Still, #WBHM ’s Journalism Code of Integrity emphasizes the newsroom’s independence and states that the university 'should not — and cannot — expect to exert influence on WBHM’s journalists and its independent editorial process.'

    "Dahlberg wrote that not implementing the new language 'may result in disciplinary action or termination of employees and affect WBHM’s relationship and support from UAB.' But nothing in the law requires the university to discipline or fire anyone. In other words, the university took a toothless stunt of a law, gave it teeth, and used them to take a bite out of #PressFreedom."

  3. Google Maps says that within each sovereign nation, they always use the place names defined by that nation, correct?

    So on Tribal lands, I guess that means all the hills and rivers are named in Native languages? Correct?

  4. In den #USA wird es für #GoogleMaps nun schwierig!

    Bin gespannt, wie viele #Trump final umbenennen wird?

  15. Our new article is now published in the Journal of Geography, Politics and Society. A small but telling case: how one signature on Air Force One turned “Gulf of Mexico” into “Gulf of America” — and a new headache for authors and editors, choosing between scientific facts and political pressure:

  19. In January, Donald Trump signed an executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico, and did his best to strong-arm newsrooms into using its new moniker, the Gulf of America. Nine months, and many executive orders later, how is it going? Nieman Lab's Joshua Benton says the new name hasn't stuck in media, or in general use — to the extent that a Trump-loving retirement community in Florida refused to rename Gulf of Mexico Drive to Gulf of America Drive. Here's more.
