a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job
This profile has been scrubbed from the site. Rose Ferreira grew up without reliable electricity, immigrated to NY, then survived homelessness and cancer on her way to NASA. She was so moved by images from the Webb telescope she wept. This is what’s at stake

"Elon Musk’s top lieutenants at the Treasury Department asked its acting secretary, a career civil servant, to immediately shut off all USAID payments using the department’s own ultra-sensitive payment processing system."

My latest.

As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality.

I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI.

Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation.

The revolution WILL be televised.
I think that the 50501 protest today was a considerable accomplishment.
Here's a link from Google News that scraped all the stories.
It's a monument to the effort of those that showed up and spoke their minds.

If I could hand one directive to the Democratic Party for the next four years, it would be this:

People will vote for you if you fight, even if you lose.
People will not vote for you if you do not fight.

I've just written my first letter to the NYT Editor, in response to Jeremy Peters' anti-trans article.

It feels unlikely it will be published, so I'm posting it here so it's not lost.

No, Kamala Harris did not lose because of her supposed embrace of “identity politics.” Just the reverse is true: Donald Trump won because of his very real embrace of identity politics. White identity politics.

when you stop reading "believe women" as "women never lie" and see it as "one of the foundational myths of patriarchy is that women can never be trusted" it makes a lot more sense.
