“They want an arrangement that perpetuates racial inequality indefinitely while retaining some plausible deniability, a rigged system that maintains a mirage of equal opportunity while maintaining an unofficial racial hierarchy.”

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

On the theme of constitutional failure and emergency, see this piece by my friend and colleague, Johann Neem. My one reservation is that I would place the Impeachment Clause atop my list of failed provisions. jneem.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

This is on us. He told us during the campaign he was gonna purge the military, the DOJ, the FBI, and the intelligence community of people loyal to the law & the Constitution, and replace them with people loyal only to him. He told us he was gonna do this. And we still elected him. This is on us.

Harmeet Dhillon will lead Trump's DOJ Civil Rights Division. Michael Gates will be her lieutenant Both are super partisan election deniers from California who have made names for themselves among MAGA attacking civil rights rather than defending & expanding civil rights Both are unqualified

It’s also logistically impossible. It’s wrong. It’s unconstitutional. And every single federal employee should send @elonmusk & Trump an email and tell them both to go fuck themselves.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

W.E.B. Du Bois on the white takeover of southern public schools after Reconstruction. Not a coincidence that the chapter, "Back Towards Slavery," follows his analysis of the eventual dedegration of the public school system. Attacks on education are vital to (re)instituting authoritarian rule.

This fantastic piece by Stewart Patrick is an excellent summary of the wrecking ball that Trump is taking to the entire international order crafted by Dem & Repub presidents over 80 yrs. Who does this benefit? The Kremlin, for certain. No one else. carnegieendowment.org/emissary/202...

Also, this is a perfect example of the kind of bureaucratic layer that makes actually doing things in government sometimes hard! Do you a VA nurse spending her time providing health care or writing Elon an email about “What I Did Last Week”?

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

We're dropping our DEI policy as we seek to employ the most highly qualified candidates, which is why, going forward, we are only hiring applicants who went to ivy league schools because their rich dads donated money

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

Dan Caine, Trump’s new replacement for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reportedly told Trump, “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.” He also put on a MAGA hat, despite it violating military protocol.

Affirmative Action - ❌ DEI Standards - ❌ Black History - ❌ Jim Crow Legacy Admissions - ✅ In truth, "pro-meritocracy" always meant pro-white supremacy. They fear meritocracy. It's why they protect legacy admissions—b/c it majorly benefits unqualified white men while blocking qualified BIPOC & women

I don’t know how many different ways to say that agency personnel don’t work for Elon. They don’t have to report to Elon. They report to their agency leadership, which reports to the President.
