The MAGA movement’s inciting moment was small white men’s bitter resentment that a black man was elected president. That tells you everything you need to know about the movement and the people in it.
What are Oregon Republican activists talking about in their Facebook groups on a Friday night, you might ask. Trump’s tariffs? Egg prices? Tax policy? Would you believe me if I said “The need for the FBI to look into Barack Obama’s birth certificate?”

I think the term DEI should always be spelled out. Make those opposed to it say “I am against diversity, I am against equity, I am against inclusion”. Make them admit it out loud.
Diversity is a fact: All kinds of people exist.

Equity is a goal: All kinds of people deserve a chance at success.

Inclusion is how we get to equity. By including them, they can achieve success.

It's that simple.

Extremist, misogynistic haters have no place in Australian parliament. This is hideous stuff from Babet. Calling a woman “thing”, “witch” and “demon” is beyond offensive. I hope the senate condemns this filth.

Conroy wrong to claim Thales deal “thoroughly investigated”.
Defence doesn't have capability to investigate corruption allegations.
Needs law enforcement agency, esp NACC, using "full suite of investigation powers including electronic evidence gathering”
