Conservatives love conflate DEI with affirmative action to perpetuate the myth/division that DEI is anti-merit.

it's morbidly amusing when they make it so explicit. No diversity! No equity! No inclusion! (Yes homogeneity! Yes isms! Yes exclusion!)

A screenshot from LifeSite news has a laptop with a red circle and cross through DEI, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion.

It's great that you know which is better for you.

I hope you feel better soon.

The first one knocked me on my ass for 24 hours, so I always plan to stay in bed the next day. But I haven't had more than a sore arm since.

I hope you are being good to yourself.

At least 1.4m homes have been given planning permission in the UK but haven't been built.

This because developers sit on it to maximise profits, as homes continue to increase in price way above inflation.

There is no red tape building problem, just a greed problem.

The Conservatives have launched their Charlie Kirk imitation tour.
In a fluff piece, CBC casually mentions that it it supported by youth from a group demanding the forcible deportation of millions from Canada.
CBC presents it as "counter culture."
No.
That's hate.

I understand it would be complicated for a myriad of reasons, but is there any chance of blue states just pooling your resources and starting your own universal healthcare system?

Reminder that the new influx of pro-MAGA troll farm accounts are being ran by TPUSA operatives. It is a mix of bots and college students managing different accounts, modeled after Israel's Hasbara propaganda program.

Please spend an hour of your life, whenever you have time, with this conversation with anti-extremism expert Heidi Beirich.

The majority, and our institutions, still aren't aware of how mainstream white supremacy has become in the modern GOP.

So excited to learn some queer history. This sailor dressed as a man and sacrificed their life to save others during the 1873 sinking of the SS Atlantic.
