It’s really fascinating what happens when you remove diversityβ€”white male incompetency is placed on full display and with no one to blame for their actions β€”so they just lie.

Opinion | The assault on DEI? It’s aimed at resegregation. The GOP leaders attacking inclusion programs want to go back to an era when White men ran everything

My latest.

As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality.

I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI.

Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation.

I’m not doing a vision board, not eating any grapes, not manifesting, not writing down any goals, not getting a new planner, just bring your ass in quietly 2025.

Nationwide manhunts and 1-800 tip lines to protect CEOs.

Thoughts and prayers to protect your children.

Donald Trump rings the NYSE opening bell as he's named Time's Person of the Year It's a double-whammy of distinctions for the president-elect

they are giving trump the goodies he wants so that he feels like a big boy and doesn’t turn the state against them qz.com/donald-trump...

I don't think a lot of folks are prepared for Trump to not only follow through and start shooting protesters with live ammo, but also for a good portion of the country to cheer on protesters being shot.

Two Very Different Manhattan Murder Investigations The NYPD spent countless hours and resources searching for a CEO’s killer, but has made little evident progress on the fatal stabbing of a migrant teen.

As NYPD officials boasted of the resources expended finding the killer of a corporate CEO, another sidewalk murder the same week, of a migrant teen, has not received the same treatment. hellgatenyc.com/two-manhatta...

Very fun film if you’re also a person who loves body horror and Hallmark movies. (There are dozens of us!)

this is straightforwardly an effort to try to re-segregate the officer corps

reading hp lovecraft is wild because you'll finish a story that shook you to the core with its timeless and inimitable depiction of unfathomable cosmic body horror and then learn he wrote it as an allegory for, like, interracial dating

I said so many times in so many ways that every election is a base election, and the consultant class that saw that money pour in on July 21 and made it their mission to get their cut, insisted on running a strategy that took base voters for granted. Again.

People not elected to government should not have the power to reshape the government, especially people whose obscene wealth depends on the government functioning a certain way.

This is not a hot take.

It's just plain common sense.

Trans folks held a dance party in the Capitol bathroom to protest the bathroom ban on there.

the clear sign that they just don’t see these kids as real people is the endless concern over hypotheticals and the indifference to the reality that actual children are more likely to kill themselves because of these bans

Adair, Iowa, had a population of 794. So, it seemed suspicious when its three-person police department asked regulators to buy 90 machine guns, including an M134 Gatling-style minigun capable of shooting up to 6,000 rounds of ammunition every minute.
Federal agents later discovered Adair's police chief, Bradley Wendt, was using his position to acquire weapons and sell them for personal profit. A jury convicted Wendt earlier this year of conspiracy to defraud the United States, lying to federal law enforcement and illegal possession of a machine gun.
Wendt is unapologetic and has appealed his conviction.
"If I'm guilty of this, every cop in the nation's going to jail," Wendt told CBS News just days before a federal judge sentenced him to a 5-year prison term.
Wendt's crimes appear to be part of a nationwide pattern.

Response to coups by elected leaders:

- South Korea: blocked by mass mobilization of citizens

- Brazil: coup leader indicted, barred from politics

- United States: coup leader re-elected with majorities in the legislature and a compliant Supreme Court

It made me physically ill following updates from the Supreme Court today. Sending love to trans people, trans kids especially, and their families because… whew. Enduring this kind of hostility is an experience us cisgender will never fully understand.

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.
