The other side of the anti-DEI coin. Positions and accolades given to members of out-groups will be presumptively fraudulent while members of in-groups are given transparent pity grades and participation trophies. They're creating the myth they sold themselves.

Students taking a class on Palestine caught a literal spy from Israel’s Unit 8200 snooping around and surveilling them, so naturally Cornell responded exactly how you’d expect: they cancelled the class, accused the Jewish professor of antisemitism, and suspended him from teaching

I clicked turn image into video with Grok, and it showed me one single catastrophe that keeps piling wreckage upon wreckage and hurls it in front of my feet.

Waymos aren’t being targeted to “absolutely no reason.” Funding for transit is being cut, wages are suppressed, Uber/Lyft destroyed the taxi industry a decade ago, and now Waymo is coming to take even the awful gig work jobs.

BREAKING: Protesters have surrounded the federal detention center in Los Angeles. California isn’t backing down, this is a full-blown standoff with the feds.

All this talk of aura but how many of you have actually read Benjamin?

It is kinda crazy how much of my job is just listening to 19 year olds say some version of “the world can’t change because of human nature”

Women sue prison gynecologist over "horrific, sadistic" exams, sexual abuse in California.

More than half of the plaintiffs suing Lee are members of the California Coalition for Women Prisoners. Read more: https://t.co/zitH9cpCCn

[tabah @mercilessxndn]

Every time anybody says “California was once Mexico,” it’s clear to me that you need more native people in your circles. Regardless of intent, even putting that statement out into the world is harmful for Native and Indigenous peoples from both the north and the south

Liberals are more mad at voters who opposed a genocide than they are at the Dems for committing one.

[Aura Bogado @aurabogado]

Obama had eight years to pass meaningful immigration reform. For two of those years, Dems had the White House, the House, and the Senate. They didn’t get it done. Instead of owning and learning from their failure, the party pushes an ahistorical narrative that blames “activists.”
