it's important to remember that black history isn't just about movements and towering figures. some of you are the first in your family to graduate, own a business, own a home, educate others, seek therapy, master a recipe, share your art, rest, come out a closet, etc. that is black history too.

Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions. They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that they can.

Let's be clear about what happened today: Donald Trump tried to cut a giant chunk of government funding — hurting preschoolers, seniors, and veterans. Trump's illegal shutdown is blocked for now — but don't forget that he tried to cut programs supporting working families.

Opinion | As a seasoned Republican senator, I know that Hegseth, Gabbard, and Patel are historically awful nominees. But if I don’t vote for them, I’ll be primaried by someone who’d stand back and let Trump destroy our government.

Trump has signed an executive order eliminating all funding for diversity and inclusion in the federal government, sending home DEI staff who will then be laid off. The historical echo for this is when Woodrow Wilson resegregated the federal government in 1913. We have reached the second nadir.

This is effectively a snitch on women, people of color, and LGBTQ folks policy. White men can just baselessly accuse any minority of being DEI and get them fired. They created a permission structure to bring back segregation as a matter of policy by calling it anti DEI.

Guys when Chris Rufo and Trump say "We're destroying DEI, we're salting the earth underneath it" and they're talking about regulations that reach back to 1965, they're not talking about corporate diversity trainings. They are talking about civil rights

Someone chided me for being a “jerk” to the hucksters pushing AI in classrooms. I’ll just say that given how deeply opposed I am to all that, “jerk” is probably going to be my mildest setting. So if you get the vapors when people yell at snake oil salesmen, you may just want to block me.

Judith Butler is 100% correct. The word "woke" is pure reactionary bullshit. Its contemporary meaning also distorts history by making it seem as if every positive cultural change of the past 200 years has happened naturally, without agitation by people considered, at the time, dangerously "woke."

This is one way the media played a massive role in getting Trump elected. Every Biden and Harris faux pas, however minor, was covered with at least as much attention as the worst Trump offenses (Trump commits a minor faux pas every roughly 20 seconds, so there's no real way to cover those).
