"Behind the anti-diversity movement’s performative worries about qualification is a not-so-subtle subtext implying that any person of color in a position of authority is unqualified." @victorerikray.bsky.social on Trump and MAGA's segregationist goals. theemancipator.org/2025/01/28/t...

If you're a journalist and someone spits out "DEI" like a slur, and you aren't willing to ask them to say exactly what they mean by that, or you're an editor toning down a clear discussion of how the acronym has been co-opted, you're not up for the job. Find another line of work.

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

"NWSL sources ... told The Athletic that Gotham initially explored trading Dunn within the league, including discussions with the Seattle Reign. Ultimately, no deal ever materialized due to the club’s asking price for the versatile veteran." www.nytimes.com/athletic/609...

If the Depp-Heard fiasco didn't, the Blake Lively smear campaign should drive home an important media literacy lesson that I'm afraid many are missing: when it seems like everybody is suddenly talking about something, consider the possibility that the viral moment was engineered.
