Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

🚫 Corporate DEI Graveyard 2025

Companies ditching diversity:
• Meta
• Amazon
• McDonald’s
• Walmart
• Ford
• John Deere
• Starbucks
• Microsoft (partially)
• Salesforce

Inclusion’s last call: going, going, gone! 🎭

Secretary Buttigieg visited CMU today. I got to thank him for speaking at our White House ARPA-I Summit in 2023, but more importantly for all the work he’s led on climate & equity at DOT. A really phenomenal Secretary of Transportation.

NEW: I've obtained internal Meta docs revealing an array of sample posts that are now allowed under new hate speech rules. Examples include calling children "trannies," “Jews are flat out greedier than Christians," and “immigrants are grubby, filthy pieces of shit”

Leaked Meta Rules: Users Are Free to Post “Mexican Immigrants Are Trash!” or “Trans People Are Immoral”
Facebook now allows attacks on immigrants and trans people, and posts like “Mexican immigrants are trash!” and “I’m a proud racist.”

Time to delete all Meta soon
Meta is now definitionally a homophobic corporation.
New: Meta has deleted trans and nonbinary Messenger themes, as well as the blog posts announcing them. Happens the same week that it has changed its rules to allow users to say LGBTQ+ people are "mentally ill"

In case you're curious, this is the internal Meta "fuck DEI" announcement received by Meta employees

A well-known romantasy author is being sued for copyright infringement. But the genre’s reliance on tropes makes proving plot theft tricky. Romantasy novels “express the longing to be unique, but they pour that desire into imitative forms,” Katy Waldman writes.

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.
