Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. β€” Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

When someone says β€œstop being political,” what they mean is: the system works fine for me and I don’t want to think about who it hurts.

This attitude works for many aspects of difference (neurodivergence, disability, trans/nb identity, etc.)

ICE Agent or Just Some Person? There’s a dress code to help you make that determination.

Great Article!! This is why they don’t do ID’s, wear masks and can’t provide a warrant. πŸ‘‡πŸ½πŸ‘‡πŸ½πŸ‘‡πŸ½πŸ‘‡πŸ½πŸ‘‡πŸ½πŸ˜‘πŸ˜‘πŸ˜‘

What’s to stop the Trump regime from arresting American citizens who support any cause the regime doesn’t like?

Where, may I ask, are the β€œFirst Amendment absolutists” these days?

Where are all the Republicans who for years have accused liberals of β€œcancelling” their views?

"The NIH announced it will slash billions of dollars of support to universities and research centers.

"This is one of the biggest attacks on science we have ever seen. It could dismantle the biomedical research system, shut down clinical trials, and halt development of treatments" - Dr. Lucky Tran

People tend to hire others who look like them. DEI programs level the playing field. DEI is about looking for merit in places where you might not have looked before. Hiring us still about the best candidate. DEI just brings in more candidates.

DEI is not about giving jobs to people who are unqualified. DEI is about making sure you include people in the job search that might not have applied but are very qualified. It's about removing personal prejudice from your search.

Two major things DEI policies do are the following:

1. Recruit a larger pool of applicants (try to find the best talent.)

2. Hide names and other potentially identifying information on resumes (so only your qualifications are highlighted ... again to try to find the best applicants.)

I haven’t lived through the collapse of a civilisation before

I study history so I have read the guidebooks, but they don’t quite capture the experience of being there

The Truth About Immigrants and the Economy | Robert Reich
No matter what you hear on Fox News, immigrants are good for the economy and our society. Watch. The Truth About Immigrants and the Economy | Robert Reich

Trump, who has claimed undocumented immigrants are fueling a crime wave in America, has begun his mass deportations.

One of the oldest, ugliest lies is to falsely smear immigrants as criminals. Know the truth.

I'm working on several creative projects right now. Two of them are creating resistance merch, and ADHD merch. What sayings would you like to see on such merch that aren't already out there? And what items would you like to have?
