Being a Black person and being a woman makes a person DEI, apparently. Not a DEI hire, but DEI itself. Per the NYT.

My purely occasional notification that, if you want to see a couple guys bumble their way through writing a novel, Ty and I have a pretty cheap Patreon where we’re doing exactly that. It starts “It was raining the day Josephine Ayari saw her doppelganger.” www.patreon.com/JamesSACorey...

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be legislators right now. We need them to be politicians. There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.

Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language. The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now. Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI. This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.

For the historians @kevinmkruse.bsky.social UK Chiefs of Staff, March 1938: No pressure that we and our possible allies can bring to bear, either by sea, or land or in the air, could prevent Germany from invading and overrunning Bohemia and from inflicting defeat on the Czechoslovakian Army.

So if you get that OPM email, my only advice is to recognize (1) it is asking you to give them an excuse to fire you (2) it will be processed by an LLM. If you want to leave, good luck to you, thank you for your service. If not, reply in a way designed to not give their LLM bot those free excuses.

In modern history, what is the least popular that party leaders have ever been to their OWN voters? Second place was the GOP in 2009, where their net approval with Republican voters was only +6. Currently Dems are -8, shattering all previous records.

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

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.

I'm glad that this story has been picked up by national and international outlets. One local outlet, D Magazine, has also highlighted the report. The rest of the mainstream news outlets in Dallas have not. Perhaps I'm being impatient but I must admit I'm confused as to why they've yet to pick it up.

It is tiresome that people believe in empty verbiage "mutually hurting stalemate" without any, really, any, understanding of why wars end. No. What matters are expectations about future fighting, and Putin wanted to keep fighting hoping Trump would come to power.

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

Agree. In some ways that's even more chilling than firing the four stars. It's what you do when you're planning to break the law: you get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down
