There’s always an origin story for the worst people in history where they could have been stopped if someone had just said NO instead of “keep your enemies closer” or “let just see if we can work with him.”

Never thought we'd see someone wrest away from J. Edgar Hoover the title of Biggest Asshole to Ever Lead the FBI, but looks like we did it!

If you look at all the firings across the government over the last two weeks it's frequently been taken as a given that any black or woman official or officer is either a DEI hire or supports DEI and is summarily fired on that basis. Seems like the same model here.

The story here is really incredible. The DOGE boys go into an agency and fire half the staff without even knowing what the agency does. Yeah, that is really damn efficient.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Let's say their names: * General CQ Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: FIRED FOR BEING BLACK * Admiral Lisa Franchetti, Chief of Naval Operations: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE * Admiral Linda Fagan, Coast Guard Commandant: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE All replaced by less qualified white guys.

After the Brown v. Board decision, white people across the South opened hundreds of private schools. 70 years later, most of the ones still open in Alabama’s Black Belt remain overwhelmingly white. In this town, one school keeps kids divided. (Published May 2024)

Back in 2021, @jbf1755.bsky.social & @hcrichardson.bsky.social did an episode about the postal service on their much-missed podcast “Now & Then.” I suggest you have a listen to understand the USPS and the implications of privatization. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n...

One time I messed up someone’s pronouns on here and @pagnificent.bsky.social gently brought it to my attention in my DMs. I went back and apologized and learned from it. This isn’t difficult. Not being a complete asshole is quite easy. Your identity matters.

As a proud German ultra-nationalist, I will never accept the rule of a foreign dictator. Unless that foreign dictator is a South African immigrant to the United States.

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

Hi! Disability scholar here. IQ is a deeply racist and classist metric weaponized by eugenicists and used to claim the innate superiority of the white ruling class. Stop listening to ppl who crow about IQ. Intelligence means nothing without compassion, humbleness, and owning one’s mistakes.
