Republicans have been "on the verge of standing up to Trump" for a decade now. Centrist media loves this message but the reality is that Republicans have steadily purged opposition and are more dedicated to him than ever. Who gives a shit what they say in private.

I saw a documentary on Buffett’s life and he & his wife began living apart (at least partially) because she wanted to use money to help people and he says in the documentary if you do that you can’t get more money, I bring this up because he is probably the best billionaire and still is like that

for the people in the driver's seat of the right wing cultural movement, an end to "DEI" always meant doing things like sending free money to a white lady who called a child the n word. sorry if you thought it was about a slightly annoying HR webinar you once had to watch or whatever.

When people break the law, and their actions are righteous and appropriate, we should applaud them. When people abide by or enforce the law, and their actions are repugnant, we should condemn them. We should never pretend the law is a moral dividing line.

This is what it comes down to in terms of how we actually function in society: not “what is a woman?”, but “how do you know I’m a woman?” Nobody has ever asked to inspect my gametes or chromosomes. Presentation is literally all anyone is going on.

This is the problem with big upping these guys - they’re upset with the vulgarity and lawlessness but don’t actually want to usher in a better world. They want us to install a milquetoast conservatism that can never exist. They can’t ever actually admit they’ve been wrong their entire lives.

Even if one excludes trans women from the equation: Not all women have XX chromosomes. Not all women have the same secondary sex characteristics. Not all women can get pregnant. Not all women menstruate, and so on... By no metric the far right claim as 'biology' are all women the same...

You don’t have to be particularly sharp to decipher the code here. But if you need someone to say it, this is a major technology company and a sizable defense and intelligence contractor publicly declaring, with only the thinnest patina of deniability, that its cause is white nationalism.
