Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

So many men who look like moldy feet think it's perfectly reasonable to tell women how ugly & unworthy they are. And patriarchy convinces women to not only marry but stay married to these losers, who bring nothing to the table but a job they'd have to have anyway. Patriarchy is the ultimate scam.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

This is how a dictator acts.
 
Sending 30K migrants to Guantanamo—a place w/ repeated human rights violations—is an attempt to evade our legal system & act in the shadows hundreds of miles away.
 
REMINDER—the U.S. affords weaker due process/legal rights for people detained there.

remember that this man’s goal is to get the left to divest from public education. don’t let him do it.

Call it a purge, not a buyout. Call it a coup against Congress, not a spending pause. Call it censorship, not a review. Words matter, and we in the media have a chance to do better this time.

And we are on, coming together, resisting together, and imagining possibilities of policy implementation for racial equity #CaliforniaCommunityColleges #SEPI25

The goal is to overwhelm us so we give up. Don't do that!

I think about MPJ, Sylvia, about Magistrade Ociel, of MLK, of Malcom, of Rosa, of so many who’ve done this before. I know they were scared, but also collective visionaries. It is in times like these that we must allow our hope and courage to be stronger than our fears. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️✨🏳️‍🌈

Jesus.

They rebranded segregation and the press just follows along.

Why did we need "antidiscrimination practices in federal hiring?"

What a terrible day.

I hope people can find some peace.

The End of the DEI Era As Donald Trump returns to the White House, a newly emboldened anti-DEI bloc has gained powerful allies.

"The New Segregationists" is a more accurate headline.

You could go through nearly this entire article replacing "anti-DEI" with "segregationist," and it would work.

Homogeneity is the opposite of diversity, which is what they aim for.
