So…let me see if I have this right. The federal government is gonna shut down in 30hrs, and the party that controls the ENTIRE federal government is trying to blame the party that controls NONE of the federal government for the looming shutdown?

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

I think we should avoid reinforcing the co-opted and corrupted use of “DEI” to mean something undeserved given at the expense of the deserving.

@garrisonhayes.bsky.social over at @motherjones.com did this great clarification on DEI and "meritocracy."

"I have some potentially disturbing news for you," says @garrisonhayes.bsky.social in his latest video. "Throughout American history, the only group of people to consistently get jobs they didn't deserve because they were the right race or the right gender were white men."
Fun fact: White men don't have a monopoly on merit. #DEI

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

Lucky for the tractor drivers they weren't objecting to the continued burning of fossil fuels leading to environmental degradation, natural disasters, weather extremes, food insecurity, economic disruption, conflict, and terrorism.

Still can't quite see how an ambulance would get through though.
