Even if Bovino gets fired, ICE has to go.
Even if Noem is out, ICE has to go.
Even when Trump leaves office, ICE has to go.
As protests grow and ICE's popularity drops, we may see concessions and leadership changes, like Bovino's departure. ICE still has to go.

sorry, but every person has their limit. i'm very tolerant, but i draw the line at LGBT people in broadway musicals.
So apparently Dylan Mulvaney got cast in a Broadway musical... which resulted in transphobes losing their minds and threatening to "Bud Light" the show... and now the show's Twitter page is locked down. Cool cool.

this is very much not the core of the issue. we tolerate all sorts of biological advantages and disadvantages in sports. the real fundamental question here is: why is this one different than the others?

How insane and/or racist do you need to be to see that and think that "the notion that humanity ought to persist on this earth" is an uncommon belief, let alone a besieged one that must be revived?

Susan Faludi talks about this in "Backlash" too: In the '80s tons of men were told 'we can't hire you because we have to hire a woman' even though companies weren't hiring very many women. Managers were just too chickenshit to tell men they weren't qualified.
this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...
You Blamed DEI for Hurting Your Career. Now What?

UPDATE: Tulsi Gabbard confirms Chris Rufo’s tweet. Lots of ambiguity about who “they” are — all participants in these chat rooms? just those who said inappropriate things? what exactly is inappropriate? — and what “action” will be taken.
