What's the difference between firing someone "for DEI" and firing them because they are Black?

The “unhumans,” Jack Posobiec argued alongside co-author Joshua Lisec, were behind the Black Lives Matter movement, in charge of academia, and in control of corporations, the media, and even churches. So, of course, Trump and his cabinet members have decided to cozy up with Posobiec.

My uninformed guess about how the US will try to fill the gap in the workforce created by the removal of migrant workers: I think the gov't will push for increased prison labor. And I think the govt will fill the prisons to support this. And just a reminder: "prison labor" is still just slavery.

So it's the best time to copy and save what their website explained, before it disappears. (in the alt text)

Women in American Cryptology (Creating a Legacy)

The exhibit highlights the contributions of 24 women who have helped create cryptologic history. The display begins with a member of the Culper Spy Ring during the American Revolution who used her laundry as a secret code. Women spies from the Civil War also used codes and ciphers to aid those fighting for the causes they believed in. But it wasn't until the twentieth century that women began to work full-time in cryptology. During WWI, several women considered to cryptologic pioneers began their careers, as did some women few people today would know. During WWII, thousands of women joined the military or worked as civilians for the military as cryptanalysts, intercept operators, technicians, machinists and every other position available in cryptology. Many of those women chose to stay in the field after the war providing breakthroughs and contributions throughout the Cold War. Eventually, women rose to the highest ranks of management and today continue to support, develop, and build the cryptologic legacy of tomorrow.

So, anyways, I'm a novelist not a nature photographer and my latest, Absolution, is about a man and his pet gator and all the misadventures they get up to out in the swamp. Along with the piano playin' wise-crackin' Old Jim. Pick it up if you like lighthearted, jocular tall tales.

The parallels to early 1930s Germany are a little too obvious. We get it, y'all are following the same plan, but it just looks like plagiarism at this point.

You don't change your name to Kekius Maximus (nazi dog whistle), support Trump, come out as anti communist, publicly support AfD which is Germany's nazi party, call for the release of Tommy Robinson (a nazi) and then do nazi salutes "by mistake." When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

"And what is it America has failed to hear?…It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity."

I was raised to believe that "the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice." Today, as my country gleefully gives unchecked power to a hate-filled plutocracy, this is hard to believe. Today, I would like to remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr for another insight:

'Alright pal, got plans for the #BigGardenBirdwatch?' 'Nah, just the usual... hang out of sight whilst she's doing the count, then touch down once the hour's over. You?' 'Classic. Planning some fly-bys with a few of the boys, but we'll only land one at a time.' 'Niiice.'

A plump Wood Pigeon stands confidently on a bird table, chest puffed out, looking slightly smug. Beside it, a glossy Starling with shimmering green and purple feathers sits lower down, tilting its head up as if deep in conversation. The two birds appear to be mid-chat, giving off the vibe of scheming pals casually plotting how to dodge being counted in the Big Garden Birdwatch.
