Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’
Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

Hearing nonsense that Ds are threatening a shutdown. False. Entire matter is in GOP hands. What's happening is that Rs are coming hat in hand to Ds for help because they can't agree among themselves. Ds shld have a simple demand. No help until the criminal conduct stops.

Claiming you NEED H-1B visas to obtain qualified workers but then shutting down the Dept of Education makes me think the appeal of H-1B workers isn’t their education…💵⬅️🐇
Shutting down the department of education was documented in project 2025

If making America great again requires you to pay more for everything, lose your retirement savings, work more for less pay, be unable to afford health insurance, become an indentured servant to the oligarchs, maybe you were better off with the no so great version.

Half of my brain is obsessed with what to do/how to react to the coup, and the other half just wants to know if we’ll ever find out why everyone on #Severance is driving 30-year-old cars, including people like Mrs. Cobel who was the head of an entire division and should have herself a nice Audi.

$3700 laser engraver so you can “personalize” your glassware with tacky wine mom script and trite verbiage.
