I have 3 sisters. Fellas, do not respond with “not all men” when a woman voices concern for their safety. If you feel need to prove you are not apart of it, do so through action and empathy. And holding your male family and friends accountable.

Yeah, it's definitely a DEI plot that prize-winning histories are often about minorities. Couldn't be that those works represent the cutting-edge research into fields that *haven't* been mined to death like Great White Men Histories and also have compelling underdog stories people love. Nah. DEI.
Much the same goes for the Pulitzer Prizes. Of the past 10 years’ worth of winners for music and drama, nearly all have been minorities. Whether or not the winners are themselves minorities, they almost invariably win for work about minorities. For the prize in history, Kathleen DuVal won in 2025 for her history of Native American nations; Jacqueline Jones in 2024 for her account of Black workers in Boston during the Civil War; Jefferson Cowie in 2023 for his examination of white supremacy in an Alabama county in the 19th and 20th centuries; W. Caleb McDaniel in 2020 for his story of a former slave’s fight for justice in post-Civil War America; David Blight in 2019 for his biography of the abolitionist Frederick Douglass.

The most blackpilling part of the last 10 years is that every liberal party in the industrialized ‘western’ world has embraced austerity, immigration restrictionism, and anti trans bigotry and it has objectively been a complete failure and their only idea is to just keep doubling down.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

“You’ve seen me deliver.” That’s what Collins told Kao, he said, as her staff pressured him to up his donations. Kao wound up giving the Collins super PAC $150,000 in late 2019. Weeks later, according to an email, Collins’ office agreed to support $32m in new Navatek projects.

National/presidential elections are decided by a vanishingly small number of Undecided Voters in a handful of swing states. The reason they are undecided is because they are vacuous, shortsighted, libidinal, and largely unplugged from the real world (otherwise they'd have settled into partisanship).
