It's kind of impressive how perfectly Chuck Schumer is not meeting this moment. Like he brought in punch-up writers to heighten and refine how badly he's botching it.

“The US defense department webpage celebrating an army general who served in the Vietnam war and was awarded the country’s highest military decoration has been removed and the letters ‘DEI’ added to the site’s address… The URL was also changed, with the word “medal” changed to “ ‘deimedal.’”

Universities need to treat the Trump administration's hostage lists as organizing lists. A large majority of the universities on these lists should issue a JOINT public response making clear that they won't give in and why they're right not to. That creates space for the rest of the sector to join.

It’s unreal - the DOD deleted its page for Charles Calvin Rodgers, a Medal of Honor recipient who was wounded three times while defending against three assaults on his base in Vietnam. Now the URL includes “DEI Medal of Honor.” There’s something about Rodgers I don’t even have to tell you

[Sigh]. A) Jelani Cobb is a great journalist and teacher of journalism and he oversaw his students as they did superb and vital work covering the protests on their campus. B) He is telling them (as he says later) the honest and brutal truth: their school can't protect them from the Fed Govt.

I recently heard a black woman say she doesn’t believe in affirmative action because she doesn’t want white people to think she didn’t earn her accomplishments …. I just want to remind yall. If our ancestors gaf what white ppl thought of us, we would still be enslaved. Fucking free yourselves.

Yes, this Cabinet — with a Fox & Friends drunk, a Real World airhead, a former heroin addict who beheaded a whale, a dog killer, a Russian stooge, a scandal-plagued wrestling executive, etc — this Cabinet is LITERALLY the best America has ever had. Thank you for that insight, Elon. Smart as ever.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

He wants our water! He wants our energy! He wants our oil and gas! Just remember Canada entered World War 2 in 1939. 3 years before USA. Never think Canada can’t protect our resources & our people. We see the destruction of your law & order institutions by the felon elect. Scary times for USA.

BREAKING: AOC blames crash on Trump / Elon “I represent LGA Airport as well as workers for JFK. Trump gutted the Aviation Safety committee last week. Air traffic controllers, already understaffed, got Trump’s “buyout” this wk with a 1 wk ultimatum to decide. It’s not DEI - it’s him. And Elon too.”

He really thinks he’s a king, and EOs are his edicts. He might as well sign EOs declaring his tan to be real, his hands to be large, and his businesses to be successful.
