"There will be no adverse consequences" if you snitch on people doing DEI today; but if you do not tell us in 10 days, expect "adverse consequences."
These are the guys who complain about weaponization of government.

the email template the office of personnel management sent out to federal agency heads for laying off their DEI teams in compliance of trump’s executive order is absolutely unhinged.

Thinking a lot of what Arendt termed, "a fool's freedom." The deprivation of rights comes not from being deprived of the right to an opinion, but from that opinion not mattering at all.
What the oligarchs coin as free speech isn't actually freedom because nothing we think matters to them.

"Pence won't endorse Trump"
My dude, they had a scaffold up with your name on the noose. "Not endorsing" him is pretty spineless.

To my shame, I have never read A Portrait of Dorian Grey.
Goddamn Oscar Wilde was such a flaming queer
I mean I knew he was but fuck he seriously didn't try to hide it at all.
It's hot.

Since this place is open, all I can say is, block early, block fast, screenshot Nazi/troll accounts to warn others, and do NOT engage. Do not QT bad actors. Their accounts will die/wither and they will leave. Defend your queer/trans skeeps with every last ounce.

Capitalism requires that customers pay for goods/services and, as a preference, that any given entity gets more and more customers as time goes on.
So whats the logic in a company saying "no, you're not allowed to be our customer any more, the open enrollment is over"?

Been thinking about this: I used to believe the National Guard was the good branch of our military, the ones actually doing their jobs and defending us instead of spreading colonialism.
But the fact that they received an order to watch children drown and die *and followed them* has changed my mind.
