Mr. Hegseth has previously said that General Brown should be fired because of his “woke” focus on diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the military. Replaces a Black four-star fighter pilot with a white man who does not meet the statutory qualifications supposedly over DEI.

Scientists fear that Trump’s DEI crackdown will reshape who can participate in science for years to come, drain creativity, limit the scope of projects, and lead to worse research. “It is common sense that to have the best science, we need the broadest, most inclusive environment."

New in PN: Linda McMahon is much worse than you think "Trump’s plan to dismantle the DoE will be central to Dems’ questions during McMahon’s confirmation hearing. There is, however, another reason that she shouldn’t be anywhere near the cabinet."

This administration is giving us what racism and deep-set insecurity have always given civilized societies: desecration, destruction, corruption, abuse of power, and inept and traitorous miscreants in consequential positions of authority. Merit is absent wholesale from top to bottom.

Pete Hegseth isn’t DEI. Daniel Penny isn’t DEI. That’s not what DEI is. They’re just grossly unqualified for their jobs and add no value that any replacement legacy job applicant wouldn’t bring. So stop saying “it’s DEI” like it’s a clever commentary on the situation. It’s not.

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜 The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization. Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

“This is exactly the work we set out to do,” Paul Dans, who oversaw Project 2025 at the conservative Heritage Foundation, told CNN. Every journalist that ran with Trump's denials about Project 2025, that indulged them, that pretended it was a liberal conspiracy.... should hang their heads in shame.

Here's a clip from 2009, when President Obama spoke about the Continental Airlines crash -- the LAST time we had an airline crash with fatalities in America. He didn't blame Bush. He didn't blame Reagan. He just consoled America. A REAL Commander in Chief.
