Diogenes the Cynic

What if I’ve pinned my failures on diversity, only to discover that the stumbling block is…me? They say the retreat of corporate DEI removes a barrier for them—or, perhaps, an excuse they’ve used to rationalize life’s losses. www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...

BHM post of the day! Here’s my illustration of Arthur Mitchell, the first Black person to become a principal dancer with a major ballet troupe, the New York City Ballet. #bhm Here’s the link to my complete blog post, with a brief history, links and sources: blog.alleannaharris.com/black-histor...

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

@candaceowenspod.bsky.social : She's going down. apnews.com/article/brig...

Ten convicted for cyber-bullying France's Brigitte Macron. www.reuters.com/world/ten-pe... KKKlandace Owens is next.

I posit that the $6 Billion pledged by The Dells for American children, will never see any so-called "Trump accounts." That money will be put in Trump's pockets. #markmywords

@amazonprime.bsky.social : Great Commanders & Battles of the Civil War, S1E2, has narration that says: "Southern men were in such short supply that Lee, that in an agonizing irony, Lee was forced to put out a call for Negro volunteers." That is PATENTLY FALSE. Irish-born Patrick Cleburne 1/2.

@amazonprime.bsky.social : Only one picture of General Sherman in Blood & Glory: The Civil War in color depicted as a red-head. Do better.

I hate stupid people that think they're smart. And then want to argue & have only memes and conspiracy theories to back up their BS.

Its so schadenfreude of me. www.hppr.org/hppr-news/20...

NEW: The Washington Post has pulled out of an agreement to run an ad in its newspaper criticising Elon Musk. This is despite signing an agreement to publish it. Democracy dies in darkness. Here is the ad. Let’s share it far and wide! Screw the Post.

"What we're seeing from the Trump administration is they are moving so fast & they're trying to do so much with so little reasoning, & they're trying to disrupt as much as possible, as fast as possible, that these actions are inherently arbitrary and capricious". Even Nazis slowly enacted policy.

OK. I may possibly maybe begin to forgive Amy Klobuchar. She was good on @maddow.msnbc.com. How would vote to put Patel as head of the FBI? He's a lunatic. Maybe. Forgive her. Maybe.

1/ The medical community is fighting back! In the Doctors for America lawsuit in DC, a judge has just ordered that at least for now, HHS, CDC, & FDA must restore public health webpages taken down. by midnight tonight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show was not everyone’s cup of tea. That’s OK — unless you demand that it should be, writes columnist Leslie Gray Streeter.

We spoke to a doctor about some of the underdiscussed physical ramifications of childbirth, and how patients can get the information and care they need.

Update: A judge temporarily stopped the Trump administration from making NIH medical research cuts after California and 21 states sued.

Already the pretend AG is attempting to go after the prosecutors that brought charges vs TFG in NY State cases. "The Department of Justice has no authority to intervene in matters of state law. The Department of Justice can assume jurisdiction only when there has been a violation of federal law."

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

They won't release that information because it LOOKS BAD. Texas' maternal mortality rate AND infant mortality rates have increased since the Dobbs decision.

Go out there and kick their no good R asses.

In Trump's worldview, he is the driving genius behind any positive development but just an observant bystander when things go wrong. THIS IS NOT MY PRESIDENT! www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

“But no one cares enough about science to fight back. We live in a post truth world.” Me and about 10,000 of my friends who stood for hours in the driving rain on an unseasonably cold day in Washington D.C. beg to differ.

They ALWAYS have to sexualize everything.

This jacka** keeps endanger humans for profit. "“The Commandant’s outstanding record completely negates the President’s demonstrably false claims and signals his enduring interest to put politics over the best interest of our servicemembers and national security.” apnews.com/article/coas...

"The Trump administration’s anti-DEI snitching plan is getting flooded with fake reports after it tried to strong-arm federal workers into ratting out their colleagues." LOLOLO. I mean HAHAHAHAHA. newrepublic.com/post/190576/...

Trump’s activity is, as always, designed to keep people distracted, defensive, and demoralized. He did so much stuff in the opening hours of his junta www.thenation.com/article/poli...
