The ignorance of this administration is jaw-dropping. On Wednesday, Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) asked Education Secretary Linda McMahon if teaching the Tulsa Race Massacre or Ruby Bridges counted as “illegal DEI.” McMahon wouldn’t give a straight yes or no. That says everything.

WoW "We can't collect fines. Please come back." I wish this was actually about caring for people but it isn't. It's all about the money.

The FDA is asking laid-off employees to temporarily return after mass cuts decimated the agency’s ability to penalize stores that sell cigarettes and vapes to minors.

When will they learn that giving attention to books they don't like only ensures that more people will read them?

John Legizamo stated that Orange Cheeto removed books on diversity and equity and left white power books! #thebellcurve was a horrific book with authors who made up fake science in an attempt to prove that "Latinos and blacks" were intellectually inferior! Pure white extremist racism!!

Their hate for POC comes from their fear of POC which only showcases their fragile mediocrity.

💙Kat Chow6 (KC6)💙@kc6.bsky.social

John Legizamo called it. Any Latino or black authors that deal with diversity or equity are considered "intellectually inferior" but bullshit like "Mein Kampf" stays?? ‼️Utter extreme Nazis racist bullshit‼️

Omg 😥

More than 50,000 people in Gaza are dead. 114,000 have been wounded — two-thirds of whom are women & children. The entire infrastructure has been destroyed. Much of that devastation has been done with bombs that the U.S. supplied to the Netanyahu war machine. We are complicit.

The cruelty is the point. I'm so pleased that they won't win this one.

Equity Arc, which trains young musicians of color, was set to play with the US Marine Band — until Trump's anti-DEI order canceled the show. But Chicago stepped up, and now the students will perform at @chicagosymphony.bsky.social on 4/6. Grab a free ticket and join me in cheering them on. cso.org

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

The Dems need to run the floor; one after another speaking for as long as they can & completely halt business. Booker did this FOR US. He saw the outrage & the protests & people standing up so he chose to stand, too, & what an amazing thing he did. He fasted for days to prepare. He suffered. FOR US!

Tf is wrong with these people?!??

This is Senator Jim Banks from Indiana. No need to tell you he’s a Republican—it’s clear by the cruel disdain he shows his own constituent who was laid off. Note: he waits until the door’s about to close before telling him he deserved it & calling him a “clown.” He’s not just cruel—he’s a coward.

Demand more!

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

Of course, there’s more: Trump’s National Security Adviser Michael Waltz and his team used personal Gmail for government business. One of Waltz’s top aides even sent highly sensitive military data—positions, weapons systems, and war intel—over Gmail. But Hillary’s emails are the real scandal.

Red flag for the US. Three high profile Yale professors,!experts on fascism and dictatorship, have fled to Canada after seeing the writing on the wall: Trump’s regime is going full fascist. Many more academics, scientists, and civil society member expected to flee the United States soon.

The US is in full eugenics mode new. Everyone wanted a reduction of waste. They just didnt know that it was them, the people, that were - in fact - the waste.

Booker made a statement that exceeds any words he spoke. Resist!

Sen. Booker just broke the record for the longest floor speech in Senate history—a record set by Strom Thurmond trying to block the Civil Rights Act. The irony ain’t lost on us. From fighting against justice to fighting for it. This is what courage & being on the right side of history looks like!

GET. HIM. BACK. This is absolutely unacceptable & these monsters must be stopped.

Sen. Cory Booker@booker.senate.gov

The Trump administration called it an “administrative error.” But that error led to a nightmare for Maryland Resident Abrego Garcia.

How does the current occupant of the White House divert your attention from Signalgate and telling Americans he doesn't care if they spend more money. By threatening all of us with a 3rd term MEDIA, DO NOT FALL FOR IT. DON'T FOLLOW THE SHINY OBJECT. STAY ON SIGNALGATE.

Bank overdraft fees were capped at $5 the last few years -- saving American families over $6 BILLION. Until now. Because Republicans are lifting the Biden-era cap, letting banks charge whatever they want again. Taking $6 BILLION of your money and giving it to the big banks.

It's an uncanny likeness.

Fascist-boy-wonder, Marco Rubio said Thursday that 300 student visas have been revoked, asserting "we have a right" to rescind the visas of students who participated in pro-Palastininan campus protests, despite questions about due process and First Amendment objections.
