Not over the fact that they called their shot, followed through, and people I'm supposed to believe are "objective" and "trustworthy" still joined in the fun of attacking a Black woman

RFK Jr. wants to "make America healthy again."
So he's doing that by dismantling federal health agencies and firing civil servants who inspect our food, track infectious diseases, and research life-saving treatments and vaccines.
Do I have this right?

i have to assume that “pursuing DEI efforts” means hiring anyone who isn’t a white man?
The Trump administration said federal employees would face consequences if they failed to report colleagues pursuing DEI efforts

BREAKING: In a new executive order sent out by the White House, Donald Trump has revoked the federal contractor nondiscrimination executive order, EO 11246, that was signed by Lyndon Johnson in 1965 and has protected employees of businesses seeking federal contracts from discrimination ever since.

Communications shutdown. Travel ban. Canceled study sections. Now a hiring freeze?
Shutting down the NIH indefinitely without stated cause is literally an act of sabotage.

Mmm hmm.
Despite patriarchy's persistence, growing numbers of men believe they have it worse off than women. And, new research shows this "male victimhood" ideology is most common among men who aren't facing hardship. Which means what they're really feeling is status loss. 1/

Male victimhood ideology driven by perceived status loss, not economic hardship, among Korean men
Research published in Sex Roles suggests that male victimhood ideology among South Korean men is driven more by perceived socioeconomic status decline rather than objective economic hardship.
