Yes. He didn't use those exact words, but that is the intent and effect of quite a bit of what he and his cabinet have loudly and proudly announced.

“Woodrow Wilson worked to increase the level of segregation in the federal civil service. You just don't see anyone articulating a Wilson-like politics anymore.”
Wait, what? That’s literally what they have been doing.

His mind going straight to genetic advantage for black and Balkan basketball players instead of thinking “perhaps culturally these communities value basketball more” is so unbelievably yikes.

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

The only time young men, working or not, would use Medicaid is if they sought medical care and didn’t have health insurance. No one is sitting around getting money for healthcare they didn’t receive (deserve?) The money goes to the provider, and Mike the lying Christian is going to hell.

Every day you don't impeach him is another day he will find a new way to rob the country blind and sell its future for an overpriced pouch of magic beans from one of his billionaire buddies

Small electronics manufacturer? Sucks to be you. And employees then have to find jobs with the ones who survive, i.e. big firms with political ties. Bad for competitive business. Bad for jobs. Bad for workers. And skews business to invest not in better products, but better kleptocratic relationships

If you are in such a firm's leadership, reach out and explain how capitulating to an authoritarian is in fitting with your ethical obligations as an officer of the legal system.

Why are you falling for the lie that there’s a bunch of non-citizens voting? Why would you make it harder for your constituents to vote for you? Shame on you.

These guys do not care if we cook the planet because they think they’re inventing a god that will solve all our problems. This, not a Terminator-style rogue AGI is the existential risk.
