Right, but why would you equate "DEI hiring" with the hiring of "underqualified" individuals? Nothing beats a workplace where staff are diverse, have a fair chance to contribute what they can do, and are recognized and included. This kind of hiring and management makes an agency stronger.

An important story about what isn’t happening. Rural Democrats deserve the kind of state parties that @benwikler.bsky.social and @abreezeclayton.bsky.social are running, and a lot more love from the DNC

Accountability. No excuses. Data-driven. (Just a start on a long, annoying list.)

Excited to be able to share these early results showing potential benefits of paid year-long teacher residencies for teacher candidates in Texas.

All this stuff about listening to the disaffected working class is good, but last time around it launched JD Vance’s career. To avoid elevating reactionary grifters let’s remember the working class isn’t just angry white men and listen to organizers who regularly engage with lots of ordinary people.
