And suddenly he's "unqualified" for reasons. The reasons are he's Black. The reason DEI and other programs existed is because left to their own, too many white people would never look at any Black candidate's qualifications on the basis of race. Claiming otherwise is BS.

It’s vital that we shift the conversation from “if they come for X group then they could come for the rest of us next” to “an attack on any group IS an attack on all of us.”

Anti-DEI is an attack on civil rights by segregationists. Most white "allies" are completely silent while segregationists attack Black people and our civil rights. These silent "allies" without a shred of shame or self-awareness, fully expect Black voters to make sacrifices to save them at midterms

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

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.

A core problem here is that like many things, the public discourse is totally playing on the right's terms. It's not "DEI" to research gender/racial inequality. DEI is a propaganda phrase to denote unnecessary excess in the mind of the public, like HR trainings. That's not what they're eliminating.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Why do you believe that “they did not vote for this?” They voted for exactly what they wanted. They just thought they would not be affected.

So the media could do a better job, but also the people we're talking about are not reading news stories, watching the news, or even documentaries. They get their "news" from Facebook posts or message boards. They believe every urban legend because they don't trust anything that challenges them

A lesson in how claims of meritocracy as justification for opposing DEI are often cover for the demand that we return to a system of preference for white men - whatever their qualifications. Fire a qualified Black man. Hire a statutorily unqualified white man. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I wish more people were talking about egg prices as less of a “muh egg prices!” thing and more about the fact that there is an organized egg cartel that is illegally price gouging and almost certainly illegally price fixing and reaping massive, gigantic profits.

I was wondering about this, because I'm pretty sure we have avian flu in Canada and the egg prices are mostly normal up here.
