Here's the thing about the Tuskegee Airmen history - there was nothing in the EO about it. Someone in the Air Force interpreted it that way -- which is far worse.

The White House didn't say "stop teaching about the Tuskegee Airmen when you do US history." The White House said "stop doing DEI and wokeness," and the military interpreted it as "stop saying the Tuskegee Airmen were heroes, and maybe stop teaching about them altogether." Yeah, that's bad.

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.

STUDENTS EMBOLDENED BY TRUMP Beverly Hills High School during the 2024 election week, a mob of kids with Trump flags, MAGA hats, and Trump clothing stormed the halls. Black students have also faced racial slurs & racist graffiti found on restroom walls. The school district response—underwhelming.

Fwiw she is pretty widely disliked even by her GOP colleagues. She’s all over the place. Messy. Fights with them too. This is the most attention she has gotten in ages despite her many attempts, hence the differences in tack some have taken in this whole brouhaha. She really craves it. It’s weird

We need a real organizer and machine builder. Laser focused. Yes, fundraising is crucial, but we need someone who can build the infrastructure for resources to be deployed effectively. I want someone with a record of knowing how to WIN with working people and preserving our values. They exist!

The controversy is not merely that Matt Gaetz raped underaged girls. The controversy is not even just that Donald Trump wants to make this sex predator attorney general. The controversy is that the entire GOP is OK with that.

Alan Moore is 71. Here he is on his mother & literacy. This is the same reason that I, as a working class boy, started to learn ‘long & difficult’ words. Ironically, it was by reading a lot of Moore’s early comics that I did this. I felt deeply empowered & my imagination soared. gq.mn/5Fmo6LN

It took me twelve years (!) to build up my audience on Twitter. It took 5 days to surpass the 50% point of my Twitter following on Bluesky. I’m hopeful that the overall growth on this site will negate the need to go on Twitter altogether. Sad to see what it devolved into, but thrilled to see it die.
