DEI is fascistcode for “the Civil Rights Act of 1964.”

That’s what’s under attack.

Don’t let them lull you into thinking that it’s “only” policies aimed at addressing the white patriarchal ableist mediocrity that has been our nation’s default and giving others an equitable shot.

(“Only,” ha.)
Aside from The Noah being a full time fascism apologist, it will always be hilarious to me that DEI—which in practice has mostly consisted of motivational posters mildly suggesting the most reserved incrementalism imaginable—represents the bedrock of fascist claims to legitimacy.
"the only things dems need to cave on are race, gender, policing, and immigration" what kind of victory would this be

Judaism is a very functional religion; strip away the supernatural and it’s just telling you what to eat, when to rest, when to grieve and when to rejoice, with built in community structure and regular breaks for meditation.

Also it reminds you to wear a hat so you don’t catch your death of cold.

Your periodic reminder that “Judeo-Christian” is not a real thing, it’s just Christians trying to hide their antisemitism

Hello, world. Introverted ADHDer over here so naturally I’ve put off posting my own words. I would love to connect with #librarians as well as other kind people who also wish there were a School House Rock short to help explain to kids why the U.S. government is barely functioning these days.
