Mediocre white men will be exposed as being mediocre? Let me tune my tiny violin.
Ending DEI practices in college admissions will expose an uncomfortable truth. Women now outperform men academically.
If universities stop trying to gender balance incoming classes but instead admit based on merit, they’ll reject men at higher rates than they do today.

Trump’s attack on DEI may hurt college men, particularly White men
The Trump administration’s ban on diversity, equity and inclusion also targets gender. The ban may impact gender balancing practices that often benefit college men.

White Masculinity is the most dangerous ideology on the planet.
A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.
“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.
This is where Silicon Valley authoritarianism is heading:

Hey Brad Finstad! You are my representative in Congress. Do you stand by the literal people you represent or do you stand by the racist comments of the president? I will have to email. He isn’t easily accessible to his constituents.
GOV. WALZ on Trump’s racist attack on Somali Americans: “Unprecedented. We have kids going to school today and the president called them ‘garbage’ — condemn this attack or you are complicit in it… the only thing hurting this state is Trump himself.”
Our kids are watching.

If “transgenderism” can be an ideology instead of an identity then so can White Masculinity. I’m tired of the radical White Masculinity with its violence and attempts to divide us. Also, the stupidity of those who follow White Masculinity is off the charts!

Am I supposed to be happy about this? Jeffries is not the leader if he is behind and doesn’t know what direction his party is headed.
BREAKING: The House of Representatives voted 285–98 in favor of a resolution condemning socialism.
Eighty-six Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the measure, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

The GOP war on women continues. Why don’t need a degree when you can just stay home and homeschool your kids and nurse your family?
The DOE just cut multiple fields from the “professional degree” list, shrinking loan access for future workers. Nursing, PAs, PT, OT, audiology, public health, social work, & education master’s all got dropped.
And yes, they’re fields dominated by women.

Nursing is no longer counted as a 'professional degree' by Trump admin
The Department of Education has excluded nursing as a "professional degree" program as it implements various changes to student loans.

How low is the bar for Trump? The response you want is just to erase the posts? How about an apology at the least? You should be calling for his resignation! He cannot be the commander in chief and in charge of deadly force if he is going to threaten deadly force toward elected officials.
Leader Jeffries: "There is no bottom when it comes to Donald Trump.
"We have been in contact with the House Sergeant at Arms and the U.S. Capitol Police to ensure the safety of these Members and their families. Donald Trump must immediately delete these unhinged social media posts."

Trump is now seeming to endorse execution for his perceived enemies — retweeting a post that called for the hanging of Democrats who told servicemembers to refuse illegal orders.
He also claims the Dems are engaging in 'seditious behavior'.

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

Impeach. Remove. Prosecute. Imprison.
Guys like Stephen Miller are even easier. He doesn’t have an elected or appointed position to be removed from. He can be in prison very quickly.

There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command.
If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics.
It’s trials w real punishments.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

In the halls of the Department of Health and Human Services, a photo of Admiral Rachel Levine now hangs -- but with her *deadname* printed beneath it.
It’s a quiet act of cruelty. And it says so much about how this Regime sees trans people.

I'm no economist but the fact that more than 42 million Americans (1 in 8!) are on SNAP (i.e., food stamps) says that the federal minimum wage is way too low.

We should not be raising tariffs on Canada by another 10%, and we DEFINITELY shouldn’t be doing it because of a TV ad.
It’s way past time for Congress to reassert its authority on tariffs and stop this madness.

This story is insane! This entire administration acts like they are passing notes in middle school, not running an entire country!
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

A critical Social Security change impacting monthly benefits is at risk because of the government shutdown
To calculate cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) increases to 2026 Social Security checks, the agency needs data from the largely furloughed Bureau of Labor Statistics.

I say this as a test developer in the k-12 space. NO ONE is asking for MORE tests. This is crazy. I don’t know the law she is referring to or what type of tests these will be. I’m hoping this is a misunderstanding and Texas is moving to instructionally imbedded testing instead of year end.
Just when you think education in TX couldn’t get worse.
Teachers are already teaching, not for students to learn but to “pass a test.”Now, they’ll be teaching to pass 3 tests.
No wonder kids have zero critical thinking skills.
Everything can’t be blamed on wireless phones, & video games
