Progress in this country never comes easy or quick. For every few hard-earned steps forward, we might stumble a couple steps back. But sometimes, the slow, steady effort of generations is rewarded with justice that arrives like a thunderbolt.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

When the Confederates were debating whether or not to conscript enslaved Black people into fighting for them during the civil war, Black folks met secretly and decided that if they got put them on the frontlines they’d just turn around and start shooting the rebels 🤣🤣🤣 Black people are funny

I think we should avoid reinforcing the co-opted and corrupted use of “DEI” to mean something undeserved given at the expense of the deserving. @garrisonhayes.bsky.social over at @motherjones.com did this great clarification on DEI and "meritocracy." bsky.app/profile/moth...

RFK had/has very real support from IRL people I’ve spoken to and I’ve concluded that Americans hate America as a country, but love America as their idea. Very little “us/we,” lots of “I/me.”

McConnell is doing the thing where republicans grow a very tiny bit of courage and compassion at the end of their political career. It’s boring to me.
