I didn’t know until now that in the original Rosie the Riveter painting, she is crushing a copy of Mein Kampf under her foot. Happy feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, remembering all the women who crush the serpents of Satan under their heel.

At some point the press needs to stop adopting right-wing framing that this is a "DEI purge" and call it what it is — white supremacist violence against our collective past.

(1) If it’s a statutory challenge: convince Congress to pass a law.

(2) If it’s a constitutional challenge: try to amend the Constitution.

(3) If that fails: rally voters to elect politicians to do (1) and/or (2).

(4) If that also fails: question whether he is wildly popular.
