Check out @jguynn.bsky.social's piece about the Trump administration's war on #DEI. www.usatoday.com/story/money/... She refers to my research on business actions following George Floyd's murder, e.g. the US Chamber of Commerce's Equality of Opportunity Initiative, which has now been eliminated.

#EXCLUSIVE: I flew to Miami to meet with Enrique Tarrio, de-facto leader of the Proud Boys, for his first sit-down interview since being pardoned by President Trump.

Two men fought for jobs in a river-town mill. 50 years later, the nation is still divided. In 1974, a white Louisiana factory worker sued for reverse discrimination and lost. The nation is still struggling with the outcome.

Je vous en prie! That is one of my favorite pieces. It is so relevant to what is happening right now. www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

Black residents mourn lost homes, history as wildfires scorch Altadena “All that stuff that you thought was so important can be gone in five minutes.”

I talked to the Black residents of Altadena who say they’ve lost everything but hope.

“When you escape tragedy, you say, ‘it could have got me.’ It didn’t. So I’m going to keep on going,” said 83-year-old Walt Butler.

My favorite part of Zuckerberg's Joe Rogan interview is when he suggests there is not enough masculine energy at his company, where two out of every three employees is a man.

“They haven't invented anything great in a while."

Well, at least they invented something?

I would prefer the apocalypses not come concurrently, thanks.

we’re looking at the black leather backseat of a car where a dog is supposed to be riding. a great dane puppy’s head is nestled in between the head rests on the left and middle, facing forward. his booty and back legs dangle from between the head rests on the middle and right. there is no sign of his body or front limbs. we hope they’re in the trunk area, but we’re actually not 100% confident this is a single dog.

This is Howard. He couldn't decide where to sit. Wound up in two places at once and may require some assistance. 13/10

Columbine school shooters glorified by young followers: Inside the scary online obsession Twenty-five years after the Columbine shooting, young people who weren't born when it happened are glorifying the killers on social media platforms.

Madison school shooter was pictured wearing a T-shirt for the German rock band "KMFDM."

The Columbine shooters were both pictured wearing KMFDM shirts.

To understand how and why the cult of Columbine persists start with @jguynn.bsky.social n & my story from April:

He died as he lived, clicking “Forgot password,” then checking his inbox for a code, then putting in that code, then setting up two-step verification, and then waiting for the text message that doesn’t come, and then calling the 800 number, and then downloading an authenticator app, and dying.

a 5 foot tree in a living room. it's very scraggly at the top with a tall empty stem. a gold star has been placed on the highest point. a curly blond dog wearing a red and green hat sits in front of the tree. his expression implies he is less than impressed with the new holiday decor.

This is George. He loved this tree at the lot. Then he got it home and realized it's not what he pictured. 12/10

RIP DEI? The war on 'woke' America has a new commander-in-chief With Republican control of the White House and Congress in 2025, Trump is in a position to make good on his campaign promises to crack down on DEI.

Was the 2024 election a referendum on #DEI?

On the campaign trail, Trump made reversing Biden’s “woke takeover” of the federal government a priority of his second term.

With GOP control of the White House and Congress in 2025, will he make good on promises?
