Mr. Hegseth has previously said that General Brown should be fired because of his “woke” focus on diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the military. Replaces a Black four-star fighter pilot with a white man who does not meet the statutory qualifications supposedly over DEI.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

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.

Interesting to see these big name universities absolutely crumble and cave — halting admissions, altering faculty labs’ websites, and basically being a bunch of collaborators. Almost like that’s what they were really about all along. Almost like those billions in endowments aren’t for education.

One of the first targets here will almost certainly be blocking the mailing of abortion medications like mifepristone. If I'm right, it'll be a the biggest blow to reproductive freedom since the repeal of Roe.

Enough with the rationalizations and excuses: the Nazi salute is not a troll, and it is not an accident. The neo-Nazi movement is alive and well, and some of the most powerful people in our country have now actively embraced it.

Please don’t turn this into ax grinding about Biden and DeJoy because, and I can’t emphasize this enough, what Trump is trying to do is illegal and being done with the goal of privatizing the USPS. You can’t use that playbook if you’re trying to make something better.

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

Fascinating. Just skimmed through bunch of reactions to this article on bsky and most if not all of them, except the one below are of the kind: "be very scared, skynet is just around the corner" None of them even question the blatant anthropomorphizing at play. Looks like AI Bros PsyOp is working

Seems to me an awful lot of what is pitched as AI safety is really AI marketing. "It's so scary it must be good" This study "shared exclusively with TIME" (i.e., not available for peer scrutiny) claims that LLMs cheat at chess when they are going to lose. time.com/7259395/ai-c...

A new era of government censorship has begun. It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

🚨 Scoop: Treasury Dept agrees to block DOGE access to personal taxpayer data at IRS 🚨 IRS was preparing to try to reject this request, but was able to negotiate with the Trump admin to narrow access. Now DOGE will get the same access as academic researchers and some IT professionals, per sources.

Let’s be clear: Trump’s plan to “take over DC” is not an innocent attempt at a beautification project — it’s a hostile takeover of our lives and our laws. We need to start treating it like that.

Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified" This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.
