Yep, one of the biggest drivers of the elite panic around “wokeness” was the increasing prominence of Black people and particularly Black women in their fields and we’re seeing that coalition rewarded with the targeting of Black workers.
Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

While my mother was in the hospital, physicians decided her reproductive life should end. While she was in labor, she was told that she had to consent to tubal ligation for the doctor to deliver her baby. This was part of a national program, sanctioned by state governments, that sterilized women.

I am AI critical despite having a background in AI because I can rattle off a parade of examples where people who look like me, sound like me, or are in situations I have been in are currently actively being harmed by misuses of an AI-based technology. Most of them started as I describe below.
When we discuss libertarianism in technology, the most common trend I see is bright-eyed kids who've done only cursory safety analysis pitching a technology with miraculous potential but a disproportionate level of sacrifice/risk for marginalized folks. They are shocked and dismissive when informed.
