Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’ Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

One of these days we're gonna have to reckon with the fact that "money that I spend which does not directly benefit me is a waste" is a popular sentiment. I think we should state plainly that this is selfish on its face. And stupid when you have awareness which extends beyond your nose.

Elon Musk used all the freedoms and opportunities of the USA, the country that defeated the Nazis, to become the wealthiest human being on earth. So how does he return the favor? He salutes the Nazis, then leads in the destruction of the Country made him. To me- that’s as traitorous as it gets.

Way to go, Trumpers, you killed democracy because you worshipped white supremacy. What an asinine hill for a country to DEI on.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

My wife was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma and 2017, since then Cancer Researchers have discovered many new drugs to help keep her and thousands of patients alive each year. Trump shutting down Cancer research is horrific and will cost an unprecedented amount of lives and jobs. This is barbaric!

DEI doesn’t mean hiring unqualified people—it means tearing down rigged systems that kept qualified talent out. Giving everyone a fair shot, breaking down barriers that have historically excluded talent. Diversity brings fresh perspectives, drives innovation, and reflects the world being served.

i think the executive orders directing agencies to end energy efficiency regulations and open up more land to drilling and mining is so indicative of the character of the american right — in its view everything, whether people or our larger environment, is something to be exploited and dominated

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆
