The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Elon's agenda isn't part of P25, which is the agenda of The Heritage Foundation and is based on Christian Nationalism (which is different than Christianity). Elon doesn't care about Christian anything. He doesn't pretend to be one and never has. His agenda is entirely focused on his wealth/power.

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days. The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years. ‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades. So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

I'm not sure about anyone else, but I'm not tuning in to MSNBC these days because I'm exhausted by the perpetual outrage game. Is Trump a fascist? Sure. Are all of his people? Yep. I don't need to examine every scrap of evidence to know it, and examining it doesn't help anything. Now what?
