Pete Hegseth isn’t DEI. Daniel Penny isn’t DEI. That’s not what DEI is.

They’re just grossly unqualified for their jobs and add no value that any replacement legacy job applicant wouldn’t bring.

So stop saying “it’s DEI” like it’s a clever commentary on the situation. It’s not.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

Wonderful painted Romanesque capital representing The Last Supper (with sleepy St John), at Church of Saint Austremoine d’Issoire, in France. The church dates back to the 12th century, and was restored in the 19th century arteviajero.com/articulos/sa...

Grateful to spend part of today with @profjackie.bsky.social 's Eloquent Bodies. Do you have any idea what a gift it is to read academic prose leavened by evocative language with varietà?!

yeremi colino, a teenager stabbed to death in NYC last night by a group of men after he told them he didn’t speak english, deserves as much attention as the healthcare CEO, if not more. let’s give it to him. www.amny.com/new-york/man...
Of course, this story doesn't get the front page coverage that a CEO's murder does.

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.
