I don't think Democrats should surrender on "DEI" for the same reason I don't think we should surrender on "trans sports". The actual demand in both cases is that the affected caste of people disappear from public society, and that is not something we should (or can!!) deliver upon.

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

Here’s another way to think about it. We import roughly $3.25 trillion in goods every year. Income tax receipts total roughly $2.2 trillion. So we’d need a universal tariff rate of, give or take, 65% to be able to do away w the IRS. But… 1/2

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

I lost my job. USDA Forest Service.

My probation was up next week.

I did everything right. I took a GS-7 role with a master’s degree just to get my foot in the door. I spent years doing seasonal fieldwork for low pay, working in remote places, gaining experience, and building skills, just for a chance at a permanent position. I was about to be a GS-9. I wrote NEPA reports. I conducted field surveys. I worked fire support. I dedicated myself to this work because I believed in it.

Public lands don’t manage themselves. The wildlife, watersheds, and forests we protect don’t just stay protected without people on the ground making it happen. My coworkers and I took on that responsibility, often in places most people never think about but that matter more than they know.

And now? Just like that, I’m out.

Edit: I’ve consistently supported progressive policies and have voted Democrat in every national and local election since I was 18. I do appreciate folks asking, I have some coworker having a serious 'leopards ate my face' moment right now.

My DeepSeek hot take:

Are the shooting stars in the movie "Jaws" (1975) real or animation?
In the movie *Jaws* (1975), the shooting stars seen during the scene where Brody, Quint, and Hooper are on the boat at night are real. The filmmakers used actual footage of a meteor shower, which was superimposed into the scene to create the effect. This was a common technique in filmmaking before the widespread use of CGI, as it was a practical and cost-effective way to achieve such visuals. The natural look of the shooting stars adds to the authenticity of the scene.
