The only real account on here for Tim Wise (well, at least the one who's an anti-racism educator, author, critical race theorist, and Senior Fellow at the African American Policy Forum).

One thing has gone largely undiscussed re: Trump's Executive Branch power grab. Namely, no one would seek to place so much power in the hands of the president -- over legal interpretation, budget decisions, staffing, etc -- if they worried about EVER losing again. So they must know something...A 🧵..

In response to the Trump administration signing multiple executive orders attacking diversity, equity, and inclusion, we’ve created the #ExecutiveDisorder project. This project provides the tools to understand and resist the white nationalist agenda of the alt-right. ➡️

At the rate this is going Elon will be married to Melania soon

A Haiku for incel DOGE boys They call me “big balls” He said, thinking that would work Right, she said (swipe left)

What good are these lawmakers who behave as if tech bros, their tech boy toys, and rent a cops have more authority than they do?

The attack on USAID is fueled by indifference to the suffering of millions around the globe who will be harmed--and that indifference is fed by the fact that a disproportionate share of these are not white. Even this Trump/Musk move is fueled by racism. Everything they do is.

Sorry but not listening to people who say we can't judge voters who voted for Trump or stayed home bc of Gaza. They judged us and accused us of complicity in genocide for voting for Harris, so yeah, we get to judge them too for what they helped empower. That's how things work. Welcome to reality.

Pathetic Elon Stans are like: "But he's Tony Stark! He's a super hero from the comic books!" Well, he's in comic books alright. But news flash: he's Lex Luthor.

AAPF's @timjacobwise.bsky.social joins @donlemonofficial.bsky.social on “Lemon LIVE at 5" to discuss how the Trump administration purposely weaponizes & mischaracterizes DEI 📺 View the full episode here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOD5...

The Confederacy was evil. All Democrats realize that despite it having been supported by Dems at the time. But Republicans adore it, which tells you all you need to know about which side now supports white supremacy (the cornerstone of the Confederacy according to its VP)

Crockett: “I’m tired of the white tears. If you’re competent you’re not concerned. When you compare me to Greene/Boebert there’s no comparison… The only ppl crying are mediocre white boys beaten out by people that had to work much harder.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DFp8K0M...

In 2019, Elon Musk said he would cure word hunger FOREVER for 6 billion dollars. Today, he stopped the USAID from helping countries from starving. truthout.org/articles/mus...

There it is. Disability Disabilities Will get your NSF grant pulled @ndrnadvocates.bsky.social

Wasn’t the outrage over Hillary Clinton’s private email server at home the possibility that it *might* contain sensitive information? But now South African Michael Scott can just install a commercial server at OPM to scoop it all up?

I love it when white folks say America wasn't racially divided until Obama made the comment about Trayvon. White denial is a powerful drug, which is why even in 1963 when we were asked if Blacks were treated equally nearly 2/3 said yes. Delusion is a white pastime. It's our heritage.

Any other person would be arrested…

"The men appear to have barricaded the entrance to the bank, spray painted the security cameras, and ordered the employees to lie on the floor. We're watching now to see if they do anything wrong."

Not bad for an old guy without a TikTok account!

Trump is such an easy mark for smarter world leaders...

It's interesting how the immigrant most responsible for costing Americans their jobs is Elon Musk

My appearance yesterday on Don Lemon Live to discuss DEI Derangement Syndrome and the perpetual scapegoating of anyone who isn't a white, straight, able-bodied male www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOD5...

As Pa.'s immigrant community worries over deportations, a vehicle and its driver presenting as a member of “ICE Volunteer Corps” is stirring anxieties in Chester County. There is no such thing as a volunteer division of Immigration Customs and Enforcement.

There is no evidence that this disaster was related to diversity efforts, "lowered standards," people of color, women, or people with disabilities. But Trump doesn't care. He MUST blame anything bad on those things, because his bigotry compels him and his cult eats it up

dont worry about your aviation safety america, because the head of the transportation department is no longer "woke," but is in fact the guy from mtv's "the real world."

Like I've long said, there is nothing that goes wrong in this country which MAGA racists, led by Trump, won't blame on DEI/people of color, etc. To suggest this tragic air disaster was related to DEI is sick and ignorant. That's all he can do is scapegoat. It's his only move.

Hilarious how, when Democrats are in power, the Sunday talk shows are filled with Republicans bc the "liberal media" feels compelled to offer "balance," or some such thing. But when Republicans are in power, the shows are STILL filled w/Republicans bc the "liberal media" is a myth.

Donald Trump and Russ Vought -- who are behind these funding freezes -- are happily murdering people with these decisions: Medicaid is frozen, Suicide Prevention, including for veterans, frozen. These people are monsters and should be treated as such

The president is required to faithfully execute laws. The spending bill previously agreed to by Congress is law. Therefore, Trump refusing to execute that bill is a violation of the law, and another impeachable offense. In a normal world, that is.

There's something amazingly subversive about the fact the NYT featured these 2 pics in their Sundance feature. As much as I can hate the Times, this is great. IYKYK. First one to ID the woman on the left and the man on the right gets a prize (Not really but bragging rights). But no looking at NYT!
