The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

Yep. It is nice though every once in a while you get it wrong and they're super left.

I bet the guy who wore head to toe camo to my mom's funeral suddenly has strong opinions on the respectability of wearing a suit

This has got to be one of the most ideologically baffling stickers I’ve ever seen. Like, do you get that Roman Cops are who put Jesus on the cross? Were you whooping and hollering and yelling “Get his ass, Pontius Pilate!” when you got to that part of the story?

relatedly, why is the entire political press completely uninterested in the verifiable fact that JD Vance has close relationships with online nazis?

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

worth saying again that this was a bait and switch. if trump had openly announced he was running on allowing companies to discriminate against women and minorities he would not have won wapo.st/43aVQg1

If you're able to, I highly recommend exercising your 2A right and learn to use it in order to defend yourself.

Honestly, this will have much more of an impact. You should also unsubscribe from LA Times too. I've been noticing that a lot of small town newspapers have been better about reporting what's going on than these bigger companies.

Yes, my ADHD ass spent 45 minutes searching up deeds to see who owns the property now, ignoring the dinner I cooked.

it’s a great time to remind everyone to keep your cats indoors. i don’t want to hear that shit about how your cat is desperate to go outside or is used to being out there. i had an outdoor cat i had to bring inside after 13yrs. i know how they are. she lived to 20. they’ll get over it & so will you.

social media needs to be regulated and treated very much like we currently treat drugs. that's long term. in the immediate term? focus on the 75% of men who aren't voting for fascists. you will have more luck reaching and organizing them than deradicalizing Andrew Tate fans.

In the need to be creative again I've finally started to build this West Marches D&D game I've been kicking around in my head for the last four years. If you're interested, lmk and I'll make sure to keep you posted.

Yes! The people defending this as trolling don’t understand what trolling is. “Libs will get offended by ANYTHING these days” only works if the thing you’re doing isn’t offensive!

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

News media’s refusal to describe reality, let alone meet the moment, seems to go beyond cowardice at this point and enter some kind of willful delusion, where if we don’t admit they’re Nazis, we don’t have to deal with it.

hey @mattyglesias.bsky.social, the piece that you link to here — my piece — does not say that “all DEI critics want to reimpose segregation” and i would appreciate it if you didn’t lie to your audience about what my work says.
