The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

We've come a long way from "I will lower prices on day one"

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

Nailed it😭

This is what we get when books are banned and teachers are muzzled: kids who are so devoid of empathy that they'll knowingly hurt others with fear and hate.

If only there'd been some historical precedent that would have pointed towards him doing this....

They are trying to burn down everything good.

The Trump administration has just announced that all college financial aid programs, scholarships, prizes, housing, and graduation ceremonies that help Black or Latino students are now considered to be illegal. The Education Department accuses colleges of discriminating against white students.

Kone and Chido, bring them on! 🙏 #mufc

I’ve seen enough for Casemiro and Hojlund today. Lets get on some young, energetic players. #United

The CDC layoffs/firings occurred in the following context: a historic TB outbreak in KS, a historic measles outbreak in TX, & multiple cases of bird flu across the U.S.. Who is aiding in epidemiological investigations?

That’s better, United!

For years it was considered gauche to call Trump’s guys Nazis and now his government is led by literal Nazis.

If you ran an Arby’s the way our government is being run right now you’d be eating human meat in three weeks

i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again: pick every fight. turn every molehill into a mountain. your job for the next four years is to make these sickos have to work for every inch. the point isn’t to win every fight. the point is to make every win cost them as much time and energy as possible.

"[For the Right], D.E.I...is the mere presence of a woman or nonwhite person or disabled or transgender person in any high-skilled, high-status position. And their alternative isn’t some heretofore unknown standard of merit; it is the reintroduction of something like segregation." (gift link)

If you don’t follow sports you might not have noticed that Mina Kimes from ESPN has been doing a tremendous job bringing football to this website and deserves a lot of credit for why it was fun to be on Bluesky during the Super Bowl

To be clear, it's not a mistake that grants to train special ed teachers were cancelled. MAGA absolutely considers those to be verboten "DEI," and Silicon Valley considers them contrary to their eugenics project.

Time for the ADL to give Elon another award.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

I’m laughing at the people who said Kendrick’s halftime show was too obscene and shouldn’t have been shown to kids: He self edited out the cuss words Everyone was fully clothed from head to toe There was Americana on stage and with the performers What exactly was “obscene” about it? 🤔

Opinion | President Trump attending the first half of the Super Bowl cost taxpayers $4 million. Here's why DOGE must lay off a bunch of federal workers making $75,000 so that the government can live within its means.

is the goal merit or is the goal segregation?

HAGERTY: Think about it -- sex change operations in Guatemala? BRENNAN: The govt does not fund sex change operations or Hamas. You know that though. Do you have any evidence that the govt is funding a terrorist group? H: Certainly. The funds that went to UNRWA B: UNRWA is not a terrorist group

An American flag built on the backs of Black people... Black music protesting white political terror in registers they never hear; reminiscent of ancestral spirituals embedded with instructions for runaways All this in New Orleans... What a moment

I’m screaming 💀😭😂😂😂😂 www.dispatch.com/story/news/c...

I hope @quintabrunson.bsky.social and the Abbott writers are in the LAB

they can take over the entire country but they can never actually be cool and it will eat at them forever

Regardless of who loses tonight, at least you’re not Drake.

Fabulous 🇺🇸💥

Kendrick absolutely nailed that!
