Too Big to Fail @toobigtofail.bsky.social · 11/02/2025
An unelected South African has taken control of the US Treasury and is deciding to stop payments on American obligations, in violation of numerous court orders, and admits in the Oval Office that he has done so upon incorrect information, while the President sits impotently behind the Resolute Desk.

The silence is deafening. The blacklist is growing. The body count is rising. Country divided, as rivers of blood keep flowing. Just what are you hiding? So afraid to speak our minds. Rather believe in the freedom lie. When will we ever learn? Dissent is not a dirty word. #Booksky #poetry

I am not so naive to think that there are not some who have (and have had for a long time) that diversity and inclusion are unnecessary and bad. But, I think it is essential not to let statements of values, well-supported by empirical data, about the benefits of diversity not get lost.
