“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

This is pretty much undeniable fact at this point: a good chunk of white America (particularly local elites) decided that the popular election of a black man represented a rejection of the common social compact, and they've spent the ensuing decade or so in reactionary revolt

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Americans' utter lack of curiosity and critical thought was so ripe for exploitation. So many who are just like "Damn. 8 million? That's too big a number!" "Wow, I've never heard of that agency. Sounds like a scam." "Why would anyone study water levels or viruses in rats? Who needs to know that?"

none of these people have any concept of duty or decorum or service, all of them are absolute rat bastards who are unqualified to hold any job and should be ejected from any group of respectable americans.

"[A]t no previous point in my lifetime has a sitting president had to appear on television and tell the public that he is not being manipulated by a scheming vizier. Not even George W. Bush had to do that, and plenty of people were suspicious of Dick Cheney." — @lopatto.bsky.social @theverge.com

The Republican Party has been the motivating force behind most visceral patriotism in my life, because their efforts to destroy the cosmopolitan liberal democracy in which I was born have made me realize that I am in fact quite attached to it, and willing to countenance a lot in it’s defense.

The Republican Party is evil. There’s no other way to say it. If you think this is tolerable – tolerable enough for you to nonetheless support the Republican Party or vote for Republican candidates – then you have lost your way. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/w...

They want war crimes. I do not know why the media will not say this. They say they want war crimes. Heggy got his job because he supported war crimes on Fox News. They think it is good to hunt children for sport.

If Biden said that California was voting until a week and half ago, the New York Times would publish 14 stories on tomorrows front page followed by 88 op-eds and another 300 stories this week about his mental acuity. Peter Baker would rush to the WH to give Biden a proctology just for kicks

The words and actions of America’s leaders show they believe that having dark skin or having a vagina is a reason a person shouldn’t be allowed to pilot a plane, while having a drinking or drug problem is not. That’s their priority, and they’re fine with the flying public suffering the consequences.

A lot of talk about 'language policing' again, which is of course a part of an intentional campaign to keep us in an unproductive dialectical vicious cycle, but more importantly, crux of the argument always boils down to, "You overplayed your hand by demanding to be treated with dignity."

Man, even if the video were real? Fuck off. You'd burn an effigy of whatever world leader stabbed you in the back and sold your country out to the guy who's been killing your people for three years too. God, this guy sucks so fucking bad. Just such an embarassment for Utahns, Americans, humanity.

I’ll add a 3rd pillar: that our strength comes from the underdog, the everyday man standing up in the face of a mighty & unjust power imbalance.

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.
