If this is what “meritocratic” hiring gets you please give us“illegal DEI” back

Imagine spending years learning and writing a dissertation that dealt with race or gender to contribute to the body of human knowledge, just to have it wiped from your state libraries. Research on humans is inconvenient for their plans, so they're trying to erase hard-won knowledge.

Wish I could mend broken hearts,
….best I can do is patch those holey jeans 🧵🪡👖

Americans are so used to assuming that "propaganda" is something that "those people do over there" that they are unable to notice an analyze the fact that it is done to us all the fucking time

How anyone lived through 9/11 and still didn't work this out is beyond me

I'm so disturbed by the notion promoted on today's evening news (which my mom watches) "they're terrorists." We've heard this about half the countries in the Middle East for decades.

Every time, I think "what about the babies?!" And then I realize that our babies, too, are never seen as innocent.

Consider the possibility that today’s Nazi fascist segregationists have had plenty of time and opportunity to be inspired by American segregationism, Nazi fascism, and Italian fascism, as well as their own American Big Tech-era contributions.

Expect to see elements of all of it at work.

Why am I feeling like el perro de las dos tortas?!

Remember this administration is full of eugenicists. This is about eliminating disabled people from existence or redistributing them into places less visible. Black disabled kids will be most harmed from this as they’ll be targeted for punishment & prison.

one of the things that is so disturbing about all of this is that trans youth *have* to go to school. it is compulsory for them to walk into institutions that are now being explicitly told not to recognize, protect, and care for who they are.

Interior of a bookstore. The back wall has a book shelf filled with various volumes. On the left, there is a table and chairs around it. On top of the table, there are five trays with stick & poke supplies.

Year 3 of stick & poke! I enjoy being able to connect with people through these workshops and I hope to continue this wherever I go next😆🐛

Yes, everyone is correct. They're not advocating for a "strict meritocracy." Affirmative action is over. They're now suing over the very presence of Black people and Latinos in elite education and white collar careers.

They're advocating for resegregation. Call it out every time.

*this is illegal*

Just because they declare it does not make it so.

Woof…US media also framing it this way 🫠

Hard to believe but 18 years ago, I sent the great Alfonso Cuaron an advance copy of The Shock Doctrine and asked if he might be willing to write a blurb.

He made a short film instead. This is it. Still chills me.

Share with whoever you think it might help.

A dream opportunity!

Woof, they really lean into foolishness. Que vergonzoso.

The White House website translated into Spanish has been taken offline, and the home button replaced with the words “go home.“

I saw this on TikTok but I had to go see it for myself.

The White House website, translated into Spanish—gone. And they’ve replaced the Home button with the words “Go Home.”

What is the word for simultaneous terrified, furious, embarrassed, and annoyed!?!
