The reason DEI exists is so that competent, qualified people don't get passed over in favor of mediocre incompetent white men who had a well-connected buddy.
Or so that utter morons who share war plans on the group chat don't hire their brother and get away with it bc they're white dudes.

It’s very discouraging to watch our country slowly re-learn the lessons that led to the end of segregation, among them that people who think they’re racially superior are nearly universally incompetent fools unable to face up to their own deficiencies and putting them in charge is suicide

Oh, we’re at “The Jungle” stage of recreating The Gilded Age. Cool.
Meatpacking is one of the most dangerous jobs—repetitive stress injuries like carpal tunnel are routine, extreme injury rates (eg amputations) are sky-high. This is evil. This is evil. from @civileats.com civileats.com/2025/03/18/u...
USDA Moves to Permanently Increase Line Speeds at Meatpacking Plants
Meat industry groups applauded the announcement, while worker unions said the change could hurt workers and impact food safety.

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

It feels like no one should have to say this, and yet we are in a situation where it needs to be said, very loudly and clearly, before it’s too late to do anything about it: The United States is not a startup. If you run it like one, it will break.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):
1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*
2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything
3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can
4. Citizens march en mass
