Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language.
The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now.
Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI.
This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

I'm watching this unfold on local news. It's terrifying. I can't emphasize enough that if you know anyone who lives in the Hollywood area, they at least need to turn on their TV right now. And anyone in the area listed below has to get out and head to the south as quickly as they can.
Mass evacuation order for the area of Mulholland on the north, Laurel Canyon on the west, Hollywood Blvd on the south, and the 101 freeway on the east. Head south now. If you know anyone there, call them now.
It's an explosive fire. My God. If you pray, do it.
