Great point.
Why does 25% AfD among young men spark a thousand "what is going on with young men?" posts yet Die Linke 34% among young women generates...nothing at all?

Yes, young men voting for the radical right is an important phenomenon. But so is young women going rad left *at even higher rates*.

This is a genuine question for people who understand procurement law. Is this legal?

Going forward, I'm calling all bodies of water Gulf of Mexico.

Long Island Sound? Gulf of Mexico.

Lake Placid? Gulf of Mexico.

Chattahoochee River? Gulf of Mexico.

My half-full tumbler of Perrier? Gulf of Mexico.

Notable that Elons crew of incels and edgelords are full fledged men for the purposes of being given the keys to car to run the govt. But for the purposes of being accountable for their actions they’re just kids from good families with youthful indiscretions.

Seriously. That a category of programs designed to limit expressions of sexism and racism in hiring and education has come to be used as a softened way to describe explicit racist and sexist statements from the US President is one of the many, many horrors of this moment.
I actually wish the media would stop using "DEI" and "diversity hiring" and just get to the essence of the thing and ask:

"Are you saying that this crash was caused by desegregating the races?"

And see what happens.
REPORTER: Are you saying this crash was somehow was the result of diversity hiring?

TRUMP: It just could have been

Everyone I know spent all day yesterday trying to respond to the funding freeze. Which has been rescinded. So the point was actually just creating confusion for researchers and institutions. Neat.

I’m flustered and overwhelmed, which is obviously the point. Or a point, because dismantling the mechanics of civic governance is also the point. And making vast swaths of the American public afraid to engage in their routine everyday life in a complex, pluralist democracy, that’s also the point.
