Hope I'm not speaking out of turn here but... I already knew the Trump administration was full of incompetent boobs. Incompetent boobage was literally what white folks voted for.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

Xavier transitioned and became Vivian Jenna Wilson. She is alive and well and lives in Japan. No loving parent would ever write such a disgusting thing as this, and it speaks volumes.

The cowardice of institutions has always been staggering, but since January 20 American institutions have folded near-instantaneously. The word “disgraceful” in no way encapsulates the depth and scope of the cravenness of our institutions. If we are to save this country, it will be as individuals.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved
