When the American empire finally collapses, historians won’t be stunned by the greed of the elite; They’ll be stunned by the loyalty of the poor. The working class didn’t just vote against their own interests. They worshipped the billionaires robbing them. They slashed their own benefits, gutted their own healthcare, and cheered while the rich wrote off private jets as tax deductions. Not because it helped them. But because they were told it would hurt someone else. And that, right there, is how you rig a democracy without ever breaking a single law.

@over_chering I'm in DC now, this is actually feasible 🤔

This denial of our history is yet another effort to prevent our full participation in that democracy. We must use this federal holiday to dedicate ourselves to achieving true multiracial democracy in the United States.

@girlziplocked 100%. They haven't been listening and never learned basic empathy

Excited to share work just published in @CBELifescied! Undergraduate biology students seem to recognize the difference between sex and gender, but rarely notice gendered language related to adults. @cissyballen @sweetesttaboo85 @JeremiahHenning lifescied.org/doi/10.1187/cb…

@inthefade I missed out for today, but Short Music if you're still feeling this tomorrow!

Calling the Black mayor OF BALTIMORE the "DEI Mayor" is actually a useful illustration of what they actually mean by the term.

But the bosses also said this: We can have a diverse and multi-colored newsroom, and maintain the view from nowhere. See the contradiction? Under-represented journalists are to simultaneously supply a missing perspective and suppress it— in order to prove their objectivity. 12/

@PunkMcCartney1 @cheracuse @RealHeathcliffs @PeterGa69144063 Jimmy made me understand the true meaning of Christmas

merry jimmy-mas! (ty @cheracuse)

The "pendulum swinging" concept is wild to think about in a larger reflection of this year. 2020 was the year of "racial reckoning" and "social justice" and just 3 years later, all of that is undone with anti-CRT and -DEI legislation. Only 3 years.
