Indeed. The best thing about dei initiatives is the lessening of mediocre and unqualified folks for folks who have worked long and hard for their qualifications and finally having a chance to show how shallow society has been

[Adam Mockler @adammocklerr]

If Pete Hegseth cares about getting ‘unqualified DEI’ out of the military, the first thing he should do is resign.

Compassion and competence

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

The last time Trump was in office, organizers fought and won to save health care for millions of Americans, take back the House, flip the Senate, and win the White House.

The far right hopes we won’t have the stomach to keep fighting. But we can choose to prove them wrong.

[Terri Taylor @TerriKSpiritMom]

Indeed, “identity politics “ was the thing used by one side and it was not the dems. Equity, compassion, inclusion are almost the opposite of that

[Wajahat Ali @WajahatAli]

Right wing disinformation was a top 3 factor in this election. Those who don't mention it or refuse to see it and instead harp on "identity politics" need to be ignored moving forward.

NEW: VoteVets Responds To Doug Collins being named to head the VA:

"George Washington repeatedly wrote that taking care of those who serve is paramount in ensuring the best of America keep enlisting to serve in the future...
By taking a wrecking ball to the VA, as Project 2025 laid out, and now Donald Trump and Doug Collins will carry out, we most assuredly will discourage service in the future. That will leave us far less safe than we are today."

The time to prepare for a pandemic is not when it arrives, but in the quiet moments when no one believes it will.

More need to stand up for truth

[Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD DSc(hon) @PeterHotez]

For my @SigmaXiSociety Science & Society Award this Saturday 4:30 PM in Wash DC I plan on making some hard-hitting acceptance remarks, especially regarding our U.S. Govt, MSM press, tech bro, lack of resolve in standing up to rising antiscience aggression & antivaccine activism

[Rachel Bitecofer 🗽🦆 @RachelBitecofer]

Could of had it all, America

[Terri Taylor @TerriKSpiritMom]

Believe the science and the experience of generations. Do not put our children at risk again because totally unqualified people are feeding your fears and newly created biases

[Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD DSc(hon) @PeterHotez]

Tragically, with no leadership on this issue expected from U.S. Government in the foreseeable future, I fear this situation will accelerate: and not only measles. Also Hib meningitis, pertussis, even polio is possible. Were not standing up sufficiently to antivaccine activism

[Secretary Pete Buttigieg @SecretaryPete]

Four years ago, we faced unprecedented crises. President Biden understood the magnitude of the challenge and used the tools of government to meet the moment—including an infrastructure package that is transforming our nation. It will be remembered as this century's Big Deal.

Fear of losing access resilting in galse coverage means you have already lost

Flooding the zone with so much hoping for concessions. Got to keep pointing out the chaos and incompetence and the dire consequences to real people we love if allowed

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

The ability of demagogues & autocrats to surprise, to create a new scandal every day, is their superpower. It diminishes attention to the previous day's transgressions & normalizes them. It slowly numbs the senses, including outrage. Values are the only defense. Hold them dear.

[Terri Taylor @TerriKSpiritMom]

Definitely not one who learned from their father

[Brendan Duke 🇨🇦🇺🇸 @Brendan_Duke]

My hot take is that the Republican President nominating RFK Jr as HHS Secretary and 50+ Republican Senators confirming him is the fault of the Republican Party, not the Democratic Party.

[Terri Taylor @TerriKSpiritMom]

And not giving up, keeping them coming back, relationships and wisdom built over decades is why joe was the right choice

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

THIS PREDICTION IS A SURE THING:

Donald Trump is going to try to take credit for the Infrastructure Bill that Biden and Democrats fought to pass into law.

House and Senate Republicans have already taken credit for the billions of dollars in infrastructure funding flowing into their states and districts, despite having opposed the bill.

New in PN: Trump moves to burn down the rule of law

"Gaetz is basically Trump writ small, a petty tyrant who came to prominence thanks to Daddy’s money, a misogynist who sees women as objects for the taking, & an unqualified troll who bullied his way up" https://t.co/fuL9TXZY5q

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

"but he can't do that" means nothing when Congress and the Supreme Court are both under his thumb and oh yeah, he's head of the military. But this was all treated like some esoteric poli sci thought experiment b/c the media was too busy demanding Harris do interviews🙃

[Mueller, She Wrote @MuellerSheWrote]

This is bullshit. He says “democrats need to play ball” to avoid recess appointments, but those will ONLY be necessary if REPUBLICANS don’t play ball. They have the majority.

[Tristan Snell @TristanSnell]

RFK Jr. went to Samoa in June 2018, spreading anti-vax disinfo and boosting a local anti-vaxxer

In November 2018, Samoa had a huge measles outbreak, exacerbated by anti-vax disinfo

83 people died - mostly children

How many American children are about to die because of RFK Jr.?

[Dave Troy @davetroy]

Be alert: Putin/Musk-aligned voices are going to be encouraging folks to "give up on both parties" and to "overthrow the existing order."

This is an understandable impulse, and it's being engineered. They want you to do this so they can take full control and pursue a supranational autocracy run by a handful of men. You have been warned.
