Don't say the MAGA movement targets DEI. Say what it is: purposeful effort to end democracy, increase segregation, inequity, hate, and divisiveness to increase wealth and power of an empowered elite at the expense of everyone else. @dianeravitch.bsky.social @demsocialists.bsky.social @gilduran.com

Need more evidence? SCOTUS a rubber stamp for a fascism: deleting Immigrant rights, dissent, environmental protections, worker safety and union rights, abortion rights, promoting segregation and presidential criminality.

The Cost of a Siege Mentality

Some politicians cannot resist the temptation to draw on the inflammatory power of racist, xenophobic, or sectarian fear and blame.

Headline should read, "Republicans Continue Push To Prioritize Segregation and Inequity." They've been at it since Nixon. Now, it's bold and full steam ahead.

RFK Jr.'s autism study to amass medical records of many Americans

Arthur Camins @arthurcamins.bsky.social · May 5

Charter schools of any kind were a flawed diversion from systemic change from the get go. They were always an escape hatch for the few and never laboratories for innovation that would spread.

This Jew says, "Not in my name" to Netanyahu's declaration of an intensive escalation of Gazan slaughter and starvation to cross the "finish line."

Our movements are facing compounding and intersecting horrors at the hands of the US and Israeli governments. And our power comes from our ability to keep organizing — and that’s why we’re not stopping.

SCOTUS conservative justices’ reasoning is bogus. Only real justification is reestablishing segregation and thwarting equity www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/u... @dianeravitch.bsky.social

In boilerplate letters, the administration told recipients that the grants supported diversity efforts and were wasteful.
