First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors. This ain’t about law and order. This is what authoritarianism looks like.

✅ DEI Quote of the Day™ "DEI doesn’t replace merit; it reveals it by ensuring that no one is left behind due to outdated hiring practices or unconscious biases." - Yolanda Slan, head of Human Resources for Televerde via @hrexecutive.bsky.social hrexecutive.com/dei-vs-merit...
hrexecutive.com
DEI vs. merit? I’m proof that it’s not either/or
Many people still don’t understand what DEI is really about: It's not hiring those who look different; it's hiring because they're qualified.

As a daily AI user, software developer, and security professional, I was still blown away by @anthropic.com's Claude 3.75 "reasoning model". I played a two-player online board game with Claude, and it almost beat me. I'm going to edit this for time, but dig it: youtu.be/8dsXT4hbD6I

The local Harris Teeter has this huge Valentine’s Day display right at the entrance to the store - balloons, cards, flowers, etc. I joined a long, guilty looking parade of men there this morning at 7:30am. Heads high, gentlemen! It’s still on time if you get back before your partner wakes up!

Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal recreate their famous scene from “When Harry Met Sally” for a Super Bowl ad. Except, Ryan says: “oh my gosh” instead of “oh my god”. Is there anything that can’t be made lame by the over reaching touch of religion?

I only saw this comic thanks to @jefftiedrich.bsky.social. I'd love it if someone would share it each day for the next four years.
How tariffs work is a cartoon of Trump pissing into a fan with the Canadian maple leaf on it. The stream of piss is curving back into his dumb pumpkin face.

DEI is the new CRT. Most criticisms of both are rooted in systemic racism. The same way that fights against bodily autonomy and equal pay for women are rooted in misogyny.

“Well done, my good and faithful servant”… are the first words that came to my mind when hearing of the passing of President Carter. He & his bride committed their lives to service in the most selfless way. Let us all honor his legacy by doing our part to serve our country & our community.

$16 billion was spent in the last election. Enough to eradicate world hunger. Twice over. Our elections now feel like auctions. A contest to corral the most billionaires. Citizens United put us on the fast track to an oligarchy. For us to find our way back, it has to be undone.

Stephen Miller is a descendant of asylum seekers who fled anti-semitic violence. Miller is the great-grandson of a Jewish immigrant who fled the poverty and pogroms of the Russian Empire in the early 1900s. Miller, a Jew, says that mass deportations will be Trump's first priority.

To force a rape victim to carry to term and give birth is to partake in the rape. It's complicit. It's also perpetrating a deeply sadistic act on top of a previous deeply sadistic act under the guise of religious piety. And, in siding with the rapist, it facilitates further raping.

At my wife’s family’s Christmas party they did a “white elephant” thing. Someone wrapped a box of maga crap. My daughter opened it and the place erupted into applause and high fives. I was left profoundly sad. Then, I got nervous as they chanted: “put on the hat”. My daughter said “hell no”. ❤️ her!

Costco responded to shareholders requesting that it withdraw from DEI policies. The response was direct and to the point: Costco says, "Our board has considered this proposal and believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect & inclusion is appropriate & necessary." ❤️COSTCO♥️

RFK Jr cares more about promoting conspiracy theories than your health. He keeps company with conspiracy theorists and extremists who opposed science-backed measures. His misinformation campaign helped cause the death of 83 people, mainly kids. Tell your Senators to Vote NO!
