What's hilarious about articles like this is that China unironically does "DEI" in the way Fox News thinks the US does
Ethnic minorities and poorer students literally get bonus points on exams, take advantage of province based quotas, and get additional prep time / support for university admissions

"Bolsonaro ... is unlikely to appreciate the approved reading list. It includes Brazilian works on Indigenous rights, racism, the environment and the violence meted out by the country’s 1964-85 dictatorship – a regime Bolsonaro openly supported."

Cuba is only in a precarious position because the United States has imposed an embargo on the country since 1960, with the most recent round of sanctions against Venezuela having a knock on effect.
No one, except for a handful of US allies, supports the embargo, which has caused untold suffering

It sounds like comically specific hyperbole but it is verifiably true that in the same year Elon Musk predicted fully autonomous taxis serving half the nation, what actually happened was his chatbot became a pedophile

I often come back to a quote from the late great Michael Brooks: “Be ruthless with systems, be kind to people."
A reminder of where power lies, where most criticism should be directed, and the importance of building solidarity with others.

Everything is this argument now btw.
Can’t build housing because homeowners will lose wealth.
Can’t raise the minimum wage because prices will increase.
Can’t tax billionaires because they’ll leave.
Can’t regulate AI because it will hurt innovation.
Failure of a system.

Spotted a 60-something man on the beach reading Olivia Nuzzi’s “American Canto.” His wife is nearby. She has Mar-a-Lago face and is wearing a trucker hat that says “Sun. Yoga. Champagne.” She’s been watching a live cam feed of her front door on a comically large tablet for the last 20 minutes.
