Why does everything have to be a fucking conspiracy?
Just be a normal human and throw out some basic sympathy and “we’re on it”.

It’s a voluntary target on your back for 8 months while you continue to work until you get fired.

So instead of a “severance package” as initially reported, it’s a voluntary target on your back for 8 months while you continue to work until you get fired?
How generous.

Yep

Rock bottom reality is the only thing that *might* cut through the bullshit.

Since the GOP’s only official position is “be the biggest piece of shit possible at all times” any kind of attempt to show compassion or empathy is now somehow Democrats scolding you. “Be a halfway decent human” shouldn’t be political.

In California Fires, Trump Blames Newsom for Withholding Water. Experts Disagree.
President Trump has blamed a lack of water during the Los Angeles fires on California decisions that benefit a small fish. Yet experts say he’s confusing different issues.

But it’s God’s will, right?

It’s amazing how my religious family and friends will continue to either:
-Claim he’s the lesser evil (huh?)
-Can’t be bothered to think critically (insert verse about God being in control)

Also interested in this question. Particularly the thing that goes boom big enough that MAGA pretzel logic can’t spin it.

Downloaded. This is cool. Kind of apples and oranges relative to who’s ditching DEI though.

Axios started a list. I wonder if anyone here is keeping one up to date?

Which companies are rolling back DEI and which are standing firm
Calls for ending these corporate initiatives are expected to intensify in Trump's second term.

Yep. The self-reinforcing decay of elected leaders.

Not sure if it’s trash-in-trash-out or trash-out-trash-in.

Musk already got what he paid for. The rest is for fun.

Agree and agree. I just don’t think it’s a binary choice.
There’s room to both double down on working class and human rights without being stuck in appeasement paralysis.

Perfection is the enemy of progress.
TLDR: “A winning strategy has to be more heterodox than the interest groups will allow.”
