Happy international Day of Women and Girls in Science

More journalists need to doggedly demand "prove it!" In response to reports like this.

Jeezus, talk about DEI derangement syndrome... They really have been just psychotically triggered about anything that is, was, or could have been even remotely DEI-adjacent.

What’s the reason for Making America Not So Great Again? What’s the goal? “Let’s be more like Russia”?

The DOGE team has been working for 4 weeks now and only achieved 2.8% of their 2 Trillion goal (see https://bsky.app/profile/spotlightondoge.bsky.social). There is almost no data transparency and no way to fact check, just summary posts on Twitter. They are working 24 x 7 100+ hours per week sleeping in pods.

Elon posts over 100+ messages per day around the clock to his 215M followers on Twitter with many unverifiable claims of wild spending. The lawyers ( @democracyforward.bsky.social @newyorkstateag.bsky.social ) need to focus on freeing the spending data DOGE is hiding and show the proposed cuts.

Government spend data should be on https://usaspending.gov so everyone can propose ideas for savings, not just the billionaire and his team. If there is corrupt spending, the public deserves to see the data. Make America a Democracy Again (MADA!)

I’m from the South and old enough to remember many versions of the N word. Each only seemingly “nicer” than the previous version. They all had the same meaning and purpose. DEI is just the newest iteration with the addition of other minorities — calling adult women “girls” and LGBT+ the “F word“. 😡
