Elizabeth Warren@elizabeth-warren.bsky.social · last yr.

Young people hear this all the time: education is how you build a future. But if they come from a family that can’t write big tuition checks, they may get crushed by debt. And their path may get even rockier now that the GOP wants to slash Pell Grants and student loans.

This isn't about "woke" government or DEI - it is removing civil right era protections against discrimination.

BREAKING: In a new executive order sent out by the White House, Donald Trump has revoked the federal contractor nondiscrimination executive order, EO 11246, that was signed by Lyndon Johnson in 1965 and has protected employees of businesses seeking federal contracts from discrimination ever since.

(b) The Federal contracting process shall be streamlined to enhance speed and efficiency, reduce costs, and require Federal contractors and subcontractors to comply with our civil-rights laws. Accordingly: (1) Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965 (Equal Employment Opportunity), is hereby revoked. For 90 days from the date of this order, Federal contractors may continue to comply with the regulatory scheme in effect on January 20, 2025. (ii) The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs within the Department of Labor shall immediately cease: (A) Promoting "diversity"; (B) Holding Federal contractors and subcontractors responsible for taking "affirmative action"; and (C) Allowing or encouraging Federal contractors and subcontractors to engage in workforce balancing based on race, color, sex, sexual preference, religion, or national origin.

It should prob be remembered that “birthright citizenship” was the product of the abolitionist mvt, which understood that no person of color would be safe from deportation or bondage if their citizenship could be questioned or taken away

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2y ago

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Harvard claims it wants students like me — so why is it so intent on cozying up to the same set of schools year after year?

I'm still generally not reading the NYT any longer (and I did cancel my subscription) but sometimes they still publish something worth reading. I talked with a journalist last week about the budding U.S. version of the 4B movement/heteropessimism emerging online after Trumpet's election.
