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...

For all you who continually whine “I’m not racist, I just think we need to have standards,” this is absorb this.No Black man could become head of the Joint Chiefs without meeting the standard. What they want is to harden a system of affirmative action for white guys.They what their grandfathers had.

“Yet, for the generations of folk who did not grow up at a time when Simone was a public presence and her music was no longer in vogue on Black radio, ‘Young, Gifted and Black’ was a lifeline to her genius. ” — @markanthonyneal.bsky.social medium.com/@tnimixtape/...

White Baby Boomers should NOT be allowed to use social media. I’m so serious. This most-gullible, most-media illiterate demographic has done truly incalculable harm. They consistently brag about what they view as their gen’s accomplishments— —yet NEVER accept blame for their devastating failures.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

Never lose sight of the fact that all this is happening—the downfall of America is unfolding before our eyes—all because we elected the first ever Black President of the United States. 🇺🇸

This is remarkable. The last of 8 patients who tested positive for Ebola Sudan has been discharged. Now the 42 day count down to this outbreak being officially declared over is on. Only 1 fatality is a remarkable feat.🤞 Kudos to front line responders in #Uganda www.independent.co.uk/news/ebola-u...

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

DOGE is attacking federal agencies that protect millions of Americans from financial predators, infectious diseases, natural disasters, and air crashes. Once again: this has nothing to do with making the government "efficient" — and everything to do with who it works for.

Donald Trump is selling out our seniors to Elon Musk. He is handing over control to sensitive Social Security information to an UNELECTED billionaire. Is Trump too weak to tell Musk no? Is he using Musk to cut Social Security so he doesn't have to take the blame? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...
