To know I'm the best I can be. This does not mean better than others; it is simply an endeavor to put everything I've got into the things I do and believe.

First, tariffs - which hurt U.S. farmers.
Next, dismantling USAID - which hurt U.S. farmers.
Now this.
Whatever its rationale, it's now clear that the GOP is waging economic war on U.S. farmers.

Farmers on the hook for millions after Trump freezes USDA funds
The White House had repeatedly said the funding freeze would not affect benefits that go directly to individuals.

to this point, why do people think the “antiwoke” backlash is so prominent among elite opinion journalists? could it have something to do with the distribution of reward and prestige since about 2019 or so?
Really don’t think people understand how much of this backlash is fueled by professors jealous of other academics for getting funding, attention, etc ditto with writers looking for fame, assignments, etc. they didn’t think they were advancing racism per se they just wanted to take down their “rival”
The most aggravating thing in all this (to me) is the sheer number of you, who believe Black people got high-paying jobs on account of their skin color and not their qualifications. That standards were lowered for us, when the truth is the bars are 10 times higher for us.

Elon Musk was not elected, either. Yet he is acting as supreme master, unconstrained by the constitution or rule of law. Going after judges holding him accountable is part of the authoritarian takeover

Once upon a time a pseudo-hillbilly went to an Ivy League law school. Later in the story he pretended he didn't know any of the things they teach you there about the law, which had become inconvenient to his oligarchs and sordid ambitions.
