the president does not actually have the power to fire a university president or a museum director, but if elites simply roll over under pressure, then effectively he does

you have to ask, what will constitute a resolution of the civil rights investigation? let's say UVA completely dismantles everything related to diversity and still admits a class where a third of the student body is nonwhite. would the administration consider this per se evidence of discrimination?

RESULT: Voters in Mansfield, Texas, have ousted three conservative members of their local school board tonight.
This is a school board that has been at the frontlines of book-banning in Texas, as you can see here: fortworthreport.org/2025/03/19/m...

The White House didn't say "stop teaching about the Tuskegee Airmen when you do US history." The White House said "stop doing DEI and wokeness," and the military interpreted it as "stop saying the Tuskegee Airmen were heroes, and maybe stop teaching about them altogether."
Yeah, that's bad.
Yeah, that's bad.
Here's the thing about the Tuskegee Airmen history - there was nothing in the EO about it. Someone in the Air Force interpreted it that way -- which is far worse.

I guess deep down I thought we were still better than this and I was wrong. Sorry if you took false hope from that.

SCOTX has basically said that the only way to determine whether an abortion in Texas is lawful is for a doctor to perform the abortion and wait to see if Ken Paxton puts them in prison for the rest of their lives for it
Two weeks ago SCOTX told Texans to (1) get court authorization for abortions while in active medical crisis and/or (2) sue their doctors for negligence if they won't provide abortions.
Today, SCOTX said asking the court for an abortion authorization demonstrates that the abortion is unlawful.
