Hey, hi, hello 👋🏻
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are good things. Being woke (meaning “awakened to the historical and present injustices of non-white people in America, and other nations”) is a good thing.
If you use “DEI” or “woke” as a pejorative, unfollow me. Or be blocked.

Reagan's project was successful: now, many Americans have no idea what a "public good" is.
Their only framework for social interaction--outside friends & family--is set by the concepts of private property & consumer choice.
That explains a lot about voting patterns & the dying sense of civic duty.

Today I helped someone at the library who didn't know you could borrow items for free. She gave me her library card and $40 to pay for the books. Was delighted when I said everything is free to use.
I'd never encountered that before. I assumed people just knew library items were free and public.

This is precisely how fascism works, by grabbing at and taking away a little more freedom whenever events lend themselves to it. Bit by bit you lose your rights, until you turn around and realize the road you're on has been long, and democracy is well behind you over the horizon.

The president is using this apparent family tragedy, which as far as we know had absolutely nothing to do with him, to convey the message that if his fans brutally murder his critics, they will receive his support and approval.
Q: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Rob Reiner. Do you stand by it?
TRUMP: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.
