Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks…
“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social
Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

When privatization of USPS is mentioned, I think about these things first:

I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

Is a social media account really a social media account without at least one food pic? I therefore give you an almond cardamom oven pancake filled with caramelized apples and topped with marscapone.
