"[For the Right], D.E.I...is the mere presence of a woman or nonwhite person or disabled or transgender person in any high-skilled, high-status position. And their alternative isn’t some heretofore unknown standard of merit; it is the reintroduction of something like segregation." (gift link)

Yeah so the Constitution isn’t really in effect right now

what Musk is doing is as close to the government being taken over by a hostile foreign power in our lifetimes, the coverage should reflect that

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

if we staff ICE with Uvalde police officers, they'll never enter schools

unbelievable loser shit tbh

if any Democrats besides AOC want to weigh in about the misrule that's already been prevalent over this first week that'd be pretty cool

yes. they couch it as restoring the constitutional order, but the plain fact is they want to bring back a legal regime that sanctioned apartheid

In a very real sense this country never truly committed to integration. Our schools, workplaces, churches, and communities are still mostly segregated. And it is disheartening that even the halting efforts we’ve made are being beaten back by the worst people in the country.

Oh great job guys. You know that tech oligarch who amassed obscene wealth by doing financialization? He was super left wing until he saw your post

They also seem to think X is immune to dying like any other social media site. Idk my gut tells me once enough of the cool/interesting people leave no one’s going to want to stick around X to listen to far right idiots all day.

convinced that there are people who love trump for no other reason than that he gave them a personality, however rancid it might be

Ugh not this shit again. No one cancels or censors conservative students! Their ideas rarely ever hold up to academic scrutiny so they internalize it as them being canceled or silenced. In reality, their ideas just suck!

every time i see a headline about the “department of government efficiency” i get annoyed again at how much of a fucking loser elon musk is
