This is so many words to say Trump fired the chairman of the joint chiefs because he’s black www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Garcia’s responses should just be the Webster’s dictionary definition of the word “metaphor”.

What a glorious time it must be if you’re a Nigerian prince.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

I want you to imagine how Trumpists and the Right would have shit themselves if the Biden administration had excluded any news outlets that kept referring to Fort Bragg. They have no values or standards.

This is it right here. This is what the people who are against DEI believe. They think that if you didn’t hire a white guy then you must not have hired the most qualified person because white people are inherent more qualified than people of color and women. 100% racist/sexist.

How do you win over public opinion and get one side to change their views if that side is incapable of feeling shame?

I’m sure Macklemore has the GOP running scared. 🙄

Is Elon under any ethical obligations as head of DOGE?

That's the thing about fascists, their defining characteristic to the person, they can't tell the difference between "fear" and "respect" because in their mind, like every bully, those two concepts are the same.

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

Teaching unwhitewashed history is not DEI. Stocking a Black-owned brands THAT PEOPLE BUY is not DEI. Recruiting HBCU grads is not DEI. Addressing racial disparities is NOT DEI. Treating LGBTQIA people like PEOPLE is NOT DEI Trump isn’t dismantling DEI He is reconstructing a WHITER supremacy

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

This! Stop hand wringing over everything and focus on the really horrific shit.

Germans would know.

I remember a time when this didn’t have to be stated.

Interesting article on how the Dems are stuck in the past when it comes to media strategy. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-bide...

I hate Trump and his cruel policies, but “We need undocumented immigrants to work for just above slave wages to keep grocery prices down” isn’t an argument I’m proud of as a Democrat.

Question. What qualifies as “pursuing” DEI efforts? It is interviewing a POC candidate? Is it merely making note of the minorities in your office demographic? This is basically going to guarantee that only white men are hired for federal jobs for fear of “adverse consequences”.

I got to be friends with David Lynch when we were both at Universal years ago. A very kind man, he was a fan of Bob's Big Boy. So was I. I'm going to miss him. R.I.P. David.
