At some point the press needs to stop adopting right-wing framing that this is a "DEI purge" and call it what it is — white supremacist violence against our collective past.

Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows.

The thing that was making America great was apparently lead.
Today EPA chief Lee Zeldin announced that the agency is rolling back 31 regulations.

He's taking aim at mercury, soot, and toxic pollution restrictions, and federal protection of wetlands.

The EPA will also rewrite rules limiting pollution from fossil-fuel plants and cars, and more.

Let's say their names:

* General CQ Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: FIRED FOR BEING BLACK

* Admiral Lisa Franchetti, Chief of Naval Operations: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE

* Admiral Linda Fagan, Coast Guard Commandant: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE

All replaced by less qualified white guys.
its genuinely insane that they're firing CJCS for being black and CNO for being a woman. that is what's happening here

He says what we've been shouting that MAGA just wouldn't hear but he says it in a way that some of them will hear. He's a rural farmer who speaks how they speak. @hcrichardson.bsky.social I posted 4 you to watch bec I think he's the missing link in our messaging. www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4CR...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Also I really hate that the bald facts of the US economic structure make me sound like a conspiracy theorist but, for fuck's sake, "Seeking donations for health care" is not a thing any person in the US should have to fucking do. Universal health care is not actually difficult! We should have it!

I'm so done with folks calling out "bad" Christians for doing it wrong. Like Christianity—or any other religion—is right or wrong.
Religion's just the stories you like. It's been used for good and weaponized for evil.
Haters gonna hate.
Lovers gonna love.
Religion's got nothing to do with it.

Apropos of just one piece of the hate and stupidity coming out of the White House, I finally added pronouns to my socials.
As a boring white guy, I didn't think anyone cared.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

PSA: Your kids are more likely to be sexually assaulted by someone in the Trump White House than by a Trans person.

Yuuuuuup
The "first they came..." poem gets quoted and quoted and quoted and quoted and you know what, we do in fact know who they're coming for first, right now, and that is trans people, and the answer needs to be "absolutely the fuck not, you motherfuckers," full stop.
