The reason DEI exists is so that competent, qualified people don't get passed over in favor of mediocre incompetent white men who had a well-connected buddy. Or so that utter morons who share war plans on the group chat don't hire their brother and get away with it bc they're white dudes.

One consequence of tolerating pseudoscience is that people die when its legitimatization becomes baked into our culture, health care systems, and institutions.

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.

Someone tell DOGE! Brutal photo by huff post i love it

Day 68 into the GOP takeover: Prices are going up. Consumer confidence is plummeting. Classified info is being leaked. Social Security is being dismantled. Residents are being arrested for their political views.

He fired the black chairman of the joint chiefs for being woke and hired his brother.

I’m not sure how many times this has to happen for people to get it.

Hi everyone, This is the Attorney General of the Untied States of Embarrassment.

Hey MAGA. Why? Why?? What was the fucking point??

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

Trump’s folks first tried to deflect, then lied about it under oath, and then — when The Atlantic called their bluff and published the detailed Houthi attack plans — fell back on risible semantic excuses open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

Calling something that definitely isn’t a hoax a hoax is helpful because it shows none of the other stuff they called a hoax was a hoax either

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

"Elon Musk’s aerospace company SpaceX allows investors from China to buy stakes in the company as long as the funds are routed through the Cayman Islands or other offshore secrecy hubs, according to previously unreported court records..." www.propublica.org/article/elon...

It gets worse. This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

I appreciate that Jeffrey Goldberg did not sit on this news for a book that he writes two years from now

Abortion bans kill women.

Imagine if The Atlantic’s editor chose blackmail over journalistic integrity. There’s a lot of blackmail potential here. Isn’t that exactly why security clearances get denied?

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

🧐 From very conservative National Review❗️❗️❗️

THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE FROM EVERY DEMOCRAT IN OFFICE. Thank you, Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury

Imagine if Biden didn't notice a civilian journalist in a signal group chat about war plans. Hell; imagine the Biden administration having SIGNAL CHATS ABOUT BOMBING COUNTRIES

Brit is apparently not willing to go along with the New Big Lie being pushed by Hegseth and Fox hosts.

Their incompetence is staggering.

Yes, the "hard left" is snatching people from their homes and putting them on planes without hearings to send them to notorious, massive prisons in El Salvador to be tortured!!! Oh, wait . . .

chef’s kiss 💋 perfection

Gee, last time I checked, extortion was a crime. 🤔

I'm old enough to remember when misspelling the word "potato" was all it took to end your political career. How far we've fallen.

Exclusive: US suspends some efforts to counter Russian sabotage as Trump moves closer to Putin - www.reuters.com/world/us-sus...

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

Share. This.

Ummm… 👇 See the problem?!

Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants. History proves that when a country starts erasing certain people, it doesn’t end well. 🧵

Pentagon has been ordering the removal of web site references to General Colin Powell and the Tuskegee Airmen and one of the flag-raisers at Iwo Jima as part of a crackdown on DEI. Have you no shame Pete Hegseth?(hat tip to Task and Purpose, WaPo for reporting) youtube.com/shorts/0HJpe...

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!” @USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?” NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY* (not sure this went quite as he planned 😬)

Reminds us of how @marshablackburn voted against it then showed up to try to take credit for it: x.com/thetnholler/...

Canada is home to world-class scientists and researchers. We have a unique opportunity to recruit top US talent amid their recent major research cuts. What's our plan? 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...

Where’s the uh, where’s the 1) Kennedy files 2) UFO proof 3) Epstein files 4) proof of chemtrails 5) and so on Also, why am i not in jail yet? So many people promised i would be. Hmm It’s like they were lied to

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state www.wunc.org/news/2025-03...
