To be clear, it's not a mistake that grants to train special ed teachers were cancelled. MAGA absolutely considers those to be verboten "DEI," and Silicon Valley considers them contrary to their eugenics project.

Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency in north Florida over this winter storm, which is the correct thing to do, but because he's Ron DeSantis he had to drop "Gulf of America" into the declaration and now everyone is arguing in the FB comments of meteorologists instead of recognizing the risk.

With all the talk of mass deportation, it’s important to remember how this has been a reality for some time. Biden deported more people than Trump did his first term, & Barack Obama holds the record for deportations. Deportations aren’t unique to the GOP. We should be critical of whoever does it.

When are we gonna talk about the overlap of Neurotypicality and it's social expectations with "nice white" social expectations and how it's almost across the board the same? "Almost" like Neurotypicality is just a facet of whiteness. I should make some kind of chart or lmk if you've seen one.
