Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out.

Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation.

Say equity, which a just society should pursue.

Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Pretty much... It's time to cut off all funding to this lawless government...
You say: they shutdown USAID.

You mean: they illegally broke in to a secure facility over a weekend, hijacked sensitive data on vulnerable people and US businesses, destroyed property Americans paid for, cut off resources for sick and hungry families, and fired Americans across the country.

So, just a thought.

Has anyone filed an identity theft charge against Elon Musk? He is not an agent of the OPM or feds, and while Trump will ultimately pardon him, a civil suit would not be pardonable.
If a class action was done for every citizen, we could bankrupt Musk to hell!

An American city is on fire and the world’s richest man has done nothing but lie and make it worse.

Thank you to the people who are actually putting their lives on the line to save this country and fuck that spoiled rotten limp dick South African and any of the tough guys who live to kiss his ass.

Jan 6th is a reminder to me: cowardice spreads like wildfire… this country needs leaders who are willing to tell the people the truth, not pander to lies

He's sticking to the script he was given by the Kremlin. Domestic issues are irrelevant when your objective as undercover KGB is to weaken America's diplomatic power around the globe, beginning with our own trusted allies. All of this goes back to Russia and Putin.

I think we should be worried.

But I must admit ... as it all comes down around us in a curious cascade of unexpected connections and collapse, we are learning so much about how it was put together when it was working. So much interplay and connections!

It may just be a distraction, but it's not without serious consequences. It has made it very clear to the rest of the world that the USA is no longer an ally that can be relied on or trusted. This is not a small thing.

Trump's celebration of Zuckerberg caving to his threats is really about slowly acclimating us to the tactic of corruptly threatening prosecution to force people into submission.

Jimmy Carter, a visionary on ending fossil fuels, put solar panels on the White House. Big Oil-backed Ronald Reagan ousted Carter in 1980 and ripped them out

Tonight, as Carter lies in in state in the Capitol, a climate-fueled wildfire is destroying Reagan's former hometown of Pacific Palisades
