Unfortunately I think many people who thought they'd "done everything right" are going to find themselves unemployed [perhaps for a long time]. I wonder how that will factor into politics.

The NIH cuts are being spun as a way to eliminate bloated university bureaucracy. And looking at the sheer numbers, I get it. But in fact the story is the exact opposite. The federal research grants system is highly efficient. And it super charges American innovation. 🧵 1/

Throughout US history: •98% of POTUS—white men •98% of Senate—white men •94% of SCOTUS—white men •90% of Fortune 500 CEOs—white men Now a tiny number of BIPOC & women get rights & fragile MAGAs criminalize DEIA. This isnt about justice—it's about white supremacy www.qasimrashid.com/p/ag-bondi-t...

I think countries around the world should levy tariffs specifically on Tesla in response to US tariffs, as well as banning Twitter as a national security threat driving a wedge between our co-dictators may be the most effective thing they can do

"The cheap, reliable labor force has generated more than $250 million for the state since 2000 — money garnished from prisoners’ paychecks, the AP wrote in December. Parole numbers have also plummeted in recent years." Slavery by another name indeed.

Trump has signed an executive order eliminating all funding for diversity and inclusion in the federal government, sending home DEI staff who will then be laid off. The historical echo for this is when Woodrow Wilson resegregated the federal government in 1913. We have reached the second nadir.

Susan Faludi talks about this in "Backlash" too: In the '80s tons of men were told 'we can't hire you because we have to hire a woman' even though companies weren't hiring very many women. Managers were just too chickenshit to tell men they weren't qualified.

The media has focused on wealthy, White neighborhoods. But the fire in Altadena--a racially and economically diverse suburb--deserves more attention, because insurance may not cover their rebuilding costs, forcing families out and leading the neighborhood to gentrify. www.reuters.com/world/us/far...

The speed at which corporations r ditching DEI proves they were never serious abt diversity, equity or inclusion. Those they sought to exclude were never meant to be included. Racism, misogyny & xenophobia - that’s their comfort zone, the settings they r familiar with & comfortable operating within.

I think journalists, policymakers and good govt types are struggling to understand DOGE because their mental model is that it is a government reform commission, operating like previous ones. Maybe. But it might be better to start thinking about it as a hostile takeover of the govt by oligarchs.

As you watch MAGAs jockey to cut critical safety nets, remember, America isn't $36T in debt because the poor rely too much on welfare and pay too little tax—but because billionaires pay too little tax and rely too much on corporate welfare. Tax billionaires. Protect working people. Save democracy.
