So here's a question: A friend from decades ago, with whom you've recently reconnected and have had very nice phone/ text conversations with, suddenly says, yeah, this has been nice, but my past is my past and I'm done with it, so have a nice life.

How do you respond?

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out.

Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation.

Say equity, which a just society should pursue.

Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Smash the RT if you SUPPORT this plan. ZERO votes from Democrats!!

I sure hope those folks who sat this election out, or voted third-party, because they were mad about the Biden administration's response to the Israeli bombing of Gaza are very pleased with themselves. You really showed 'em, you did.

We’re making a difference … from a joint statement from Sens. Kim and Booker on their “no” vote on the felons secretary of transportation nominee:

From the Washington Post:
