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.

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

and perhaps wondered why so many people complied and allowed it all to happen?
Why so few people resisted?

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

As with mass shootings in America, hand-wringing, feckless journalists say of the murderous bastard who drove a car at high speed through a Magdeburg Christmas market, "His motive is not yet known."
TL;DR: His justification is unneeded. He is a child murderer whose motive was murder and mayhem.
