Opinion | The assault on DEI? It’s aimed at resegregation. The GOP leaders attacking inclusion programs want to go back to an era when White men ran everything

My latest.

YouTube video by Media Education Foundation CLIP FROM "BEHIND THE SHIELD: THE POWER & POLITICS OF THE NFL" | Featuring Dave Zirin

Trump will be the NFL's special guest this Super Bowl Sunday. **Please** watch and share this 10 minute clip from my doc "Behind The Shield" to **remind** folks how Trump dragged anti-racist players like Kaepernick in 2016-2017. His smirking presence is a slap in the face.

Musk’s DOGE agents access sensitive personnel data, alarming security officials Elon Musk’s DOGE team has accessed highly restricted data maintained by the Office of Personnel Management, including personally identifiable information for millions of federal employees.

I interviewed two despairing Office of Personnel Management employees for this story. Musk's people at DOGE got access to sensitive records on millions Jan. 20. They can make further actions harder to spot. Please read and share, this should be free with an email address. wapo.st/3WNsOik #musk #opm

No one thinks McBride is a threat to anyone. Pulling this shit only further confirms that the anti-trans stuff was never about safety. It’s performative cruelty to dehumanize and humiliate trans people.
