Four-star General CJ Brown unceremoniously unseated in favor of three-star Dan Caine because Brown is “too woke.” Just say it: Brown is too Black. It was never about #DEI; it was never about #meritocracy. It is white men petulantly reclaiming their throne at the head of #mediocracy.

If you're trying to figure out what to do right now, my advice is to just pick a thing that you think might be useful in some way, however small, and do it. Doing a thing leads you to doing another, bigger thing, and prepares you for that next thing.

The youngest WWII veterans are now 96 years old and history instruction isn’t prioritized in the U.S., so the implications of Russian expansion and Trump’s cadre’s adoption of the Nazi playbook are lost on many. #cpac #education

Don’t wait for your local immigrant-run restaurant to be raided to start showing your support. Put your body in the way — now. Eat there, in person. I posted a similar suggestion a few days ago, then ICE raided a local Mexican restaurant. An outpouring of love and rage followed, too late. #resist

Think of the evilest nations. Why don’t the people revolt? There was a tipping point before which they could’ve stood a chance. And then there was the after, the point of no return, when control had been so firmly taken that resistance was all but futile. We’re on the precipice. #resistance

“Hey, kid, are you still learning about Black History Month in school?” “Nope.” “What happened?” “I don’t know. We just came back from a weekend and forgot about it or something.” #DEI #blackhistory #school #education #backoffbigots

Low-income Trump supporters are going to be confused when things get worse instead of better. I’ll be indulging in schadenfreude for a hot minute and then setting my pride aside in the name of social advancement. #USDA #oops #altgov #shakehands

What can I do? 1.) Plan recurring natural #park visitations for the year. The people must occupy and care for them lest they be fully co-opted. 2.) Patronage small businesses where people targeted by anti- #DEI and #immigration action work. #Vote with your body. #resist #resistance

I live in Trump country now, where the sheriff urged us to photograph Harris yard signs so occupants could be forced to house immigrants if she won. What sort of akimbo nah-nah was this? Of course Democrats would welcome immigrants in need! But here’s the irony: So would the Trump supporters.

Explaining DEI to my kid: The teachers look through their books and lessons to be sure all kids get to fairly learn about people like themselves. Outlawing DEI: White men are mad they have to share so they put a sign on the door saying “Everyone else KEEP OUT!!” #dei #mediocracy
