Target withdrew a DEI policy under pressure from a dictator, but they remain diverse. The company reports well over half of the workforce, including management, are women and people of color. Management is approaching 60% POC. If we’re looking for villains, let’s focus on the ones doing actual harm.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

NEW: For decades, the DOJ relied on the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to foil and forestall attempts to discriminate against minority voters.

On Wednesday, the DOJ filed an amicus brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to devastate and vitiate much of what’s left of the landmark civil rights legislation.

Another authoritarian red flag 🚩

Pentagon reporters can no longer gather or share information unless the government signs off first. And if they get away with it here, nothing is off limits next.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.

And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

I’m not sure who deserves more disdain and disgust: Trump and the FCC for their blatant violation of the Constitution or Disney and Nexstar for sacrificing their values and folding to a wannabe Mob Boss.

It was Jimmy Kimmel tonight, but dare to criticize the president and it could be you tomorrow.
