My critique of DEI is not about people putting unqualified people in positions, because that is clearly untrue.
My critique about DEI is uncritically putting people in positions without examining their actual views, values and whether their vision is in alignment with anti-oppressive values.

Zionists are pushing people into more and more polarized positions.
As if genocide want enough, they target people protesting genocide.
When they really should be reading the writing on the walls, that power isn't popular support and power does eventually fade.

And while I'm here talking about professors, there seems to be a couple of types.
Those who actually enjoy teaching and learning with their students.
And those who got their PhD and see teaching as their birthright and do it however they see fit. (Not usually well)

Why do profs turn the classroom and academia into the Hunger Games for students?
Do they think people can really produce their best under these conditions?

Regarding the Ontario NDP (and generally all progressive parties).
I have to wonder how much social media serves as the canary in the coal mine to these parties.
It's not the be all to end all, but the ONDP has been bleeding support, consistent with criticism on social media.

Genuine question for white people in North America, especially those with a few generations on this stolen land.
What is your culture and can you define it, and has it been passed down from where your ancestors came from?

This has me so fucked up with rage right now. I can honestly say that if a transphobe got in my face right now, they'd be walking away with a few less teeth.
Five people have been charged with second degree murder over the death of Sam Nordquist, 24, who police say was tortured for more than a month in a case that investigators described as “beyond depraved.”

I asked a question about where is the political activism in the US at the other place and immediately had dozens of white leftists saying how hard it was.
One (and I wish I were kidding) listed getting a dog-sitter as a barrier.

To everyone who says Democrats have no power: Do they have less political power and fewer tools at their disposal than Black Americans in the Jim Crow south?

This is challenging, since I am the judgey type, but I also understand this too.
Revolution requires relation.

Saw someone say, "End your friendships with people who are going about life like nothing is wrong." I will never understand people who think that further isolating ourselves from everyday people who don't get it is going to save us. It's not. Your judgment and disdain will not save us.

Is it just me, or are the 80s and 90s a pretty unique era of child, youth and then young adult, centred representation?

Boy Twitter Democrats are a hot mess.
Tell me Blue sky Democrats aren't blaming the people who did not vote for them, because they had a serious issue with their stance on genocide (amongst many other things)?
Please?

Today I restate my demands that white folks are not allowed to quote MLK until they have read all of his works, AND have to re-read them for 10 years annually before quoting.
