White House released its "merit" hiring plan.
Faster hiring? Great.
But “race-blind” hiring? Not real.
Multiple studies: same resume, different names—white-sounding names get more callbacks.
If bias stays baked in, so does inequality.

White-sounding names get called back for jobs more than Black ones, a new study finds

Like Lindsey Graham before him, Marco Rubio is currently defining what it means to abandon absolutely every principle one used to hold dear. Today he shrugged at the idea that we might need to “move on” from supporting Ukraine. But here’s how he used to sound:

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling.
People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯.

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

10/ And once Trump has the lawyers, colleges and industry under his thumb, it becomes very hard for the opposition to have any viable space to maneuver.
Trump didn’t invent this strategy. It’s the playbook for democratically elected leaders who want to stay in power forever.

Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence
National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety.
This won’t go well—we love our parks.
