Task for today: Looking over my donations for the year to make sure I didn't miss anything.

And I just made a donation to the Associated Press (whose reporting I read all the time) — the ones who stood up to Trump and said it's the Gulf of Mexico, not the Gulf of America.

And its stylebook hasn't back down on the words it uses regarding immigration:

"Except in direct quotations essential to the story, use illegal only to refer to an action, not a person: illegal immigration, but not illegal immigrant.
Acceptable variations include living in or entering a country illegally or without legal permission. For people: immigrants lacking permanent legal status.

"Do not use the terms alien, unauthorized immigrant, irregular migrant, an illegal, illegals or undocumented (except when quoting people or government documents that use these terms). Many immigrants have some sort of documents, but not the necessary ones."
