I’m not interested in anybody’s guilt. Guilt is a luxury that we can no longer afford. I know you didn’t do it, and I didn’t do it either, but I am responsible for it because I am a man and a citizen of this country and you are responsible for it, for the very same reason. *James Baldwin

Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

@delong.social Can you respond to this? Is Tanvi Ratna legitimate or delusional?
Tanvi Ratna: "Tariffs now become negotiating chips in a wider, grander bargain. Countries will soon receive invitations to bilateral talks, where tariff relief hinges on concessions—economic, geopolitical, or both. Cooperation is rewarded, resistance penalized."

The purpose of DEI is to promote merit based hiring, by overcoming legacy hiring and by making sure people don't simply hire people who look the same just because that's comfortable. DEI is precisely not non-merit based.
