2020: attacks on “BLM” 2022: attacks on “CRT” 2024: attacks on “woke” 2025: attacks on “DEI” BLACK. THEY MEAN BLACK.

Honestly, these are the people who think that flag pins are patriotism and kente cloths are protest. Cannot say I'm surprised.

God bless @redditcfb.com.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Darkly funny that Republicans spent four years insisting that Biden was a senile puppet of [insert right-wing bogeyman here] and the second they returned to power the entire party very publicly handed over the keys to the federal government to an unelected fascist billionaire

may be beside the point/extremely obvious but i feel like you can only ignore extreme wealth inequality for so long before it metastasizes into something that fundamentally remakes and destabilizes the world by giving people access to so much money that they are fully above consequence

Correct. A crisis in which the actual elected president affirmatively seeks to dispense with the Constitution and laws he swore to preserve, protect, and defend, and has ceded control of critical executive functions to an unsupervised and unelected oligarch who has become his master.

Assuming we make it through the next couple of decades, this will be an incredible image for future historians/students of the Trump era

We are going to learn the hard way--the tragic way-- just how much Government does to keep us safe, secure, healthy, and prosperous.

File this under: "Never gonna happen" and "Just doing it to enrage the libs before the courts and reality weigh in"

These airmen were some of the best--the 322nd lost fewer escorted bombers in action than similar units, including a 6 mo. period with no bombers lost. But they are being erased--despite their *merit*--because they were Black. This is the point of Anti DEI and it will happen again and again.

Pete Hegseth is a perfect example of why cabinet nominees require Senate confirmation, and the fact that he’ll be confirmed is as damning as anything you could ever say about Republican Senators

I sold them a dude posing as a nanny to be with his kids, but the studio execs would kick me out of their office if I pitched America re-electing a convicted felon funded by a nazi.

The rules, if you are keeping track: If a single left activist anywhere in the world says "defund the police," it becomes the official position of the Democratic Party, now and forever. If the president's top surrogate repeatedly sieg-heils on stage, it's ambiguous, impossible to interpret.

If you can "accidentally" do a Nazi salute (2x) at a huge political rally, then I can confidently say you spend way too much time thinking about Nazi salutes.

Permanent mood.

"Kidz Bop version of the Reichstag Fire" 🔥🔥🔥

the fact that markey voted for the ban is what makes this a perfect bluesky post

I know this isn't the point but damn, we've gone from Hemingway and Robert Frost . . . to Kid Rock.

these people really are the biggest piss babies on the planet

Perfect. Hard to imagine a better summation of the anti-DEI movement.

This is a good description of the GOP: The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest, best financed, most applauded and, on the whole, least successful exercises in moral philosophy. That is the search for a truly superior moral justification for selfishness. ~ John Kenneth Galbraith

Almost too perfect to be real.

Are all of the "pictures of the year" going to include CyberTrucks? Because if so, we are in for a YEAR.
