How many times in your life have you heard a member of Congress or someone on TV say “we can’t afford it” when talking about something small but very important? It’s been happening my entire life. We can’t afford it? They’re putting seven times the annual budget of the EPA into immigrant detention.

But the media keeps covering it as if it's riots, as if things are burning to the ground instead of shrubbery set on fire by flashbangs. The media keeps acting as if peaceful protests are violent.

There is “playing into there hands” and there’s the very basic “doing what’s right” I see a lot of potential for overlap— and my least concern is how doing the right thing might play out politically. Just saying. Fascists will crack down when they want; they will fabricate the excuse if necessary.

I used to wonder why the German people looked the other way or pretended they had no idea that their neighbors and friends were being arrested and loaded on trains to hell. IT IS HAPPENING HERE AND NOW TODAY AND AMERICANS APPROVE. When my country ends up looking like this, we deserved it.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND that personnel is the easiest way to manage company budget. You are expendable in this market. The old keeping your job by hiding how you do what you do won't work anymore. We have internet. Work on your skillset, and keep applying for jobs, even if you like the one you have.

In other words: Vox Media laid off 18% of their actual journalists already this year but they found money for… this

🧵 Trump: “I ended all of the lawless, so-called diversity, equity and inclusion bullshit" "Costco and Cisco, have publicly defended DEI. Shareholders at American Express, Apple and Levi’s have overwhelmingly voted in favor of DEI." 350+ companies stick with DEI. www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

Trump says he killed DEI. So why isn't it dead yet? Cracks emerge in war on 'woke'

From his first hours in office, President Donald Trump has been working to terminate DEI. But DEI is proving hard to kill. Here's why.
