Never back to exclusion!!!
🚨 “Black women are the canaries in the coal mine, the exclusion happens to them first,” Katica Roy said. “And if any other cohort thinks it’s not coming for them, they’re wrong. This is a warning, and it’s a stark one.” www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...

“‘They’re not doing it to improve public safety,’ he continued. “It’s designed to humiliate political opponents.’”

Robby Starbuck was interviewed by Nikkei Asia. “Using DEI practices to artificially raise disadvantaged peoples to the same level as white males is ‘a communist concept that is really not friendly to the idea of free markets and capitalism,’ said Starbuck.” www.impactivize.org/impactivizer...
Crazy that companies haven’t learned to ignore these attacks. Capitulating gets them nothing.

MAGA got everything they wanted out of Cracker Barrel and they still want to punish the company anyway. Just about the most predictable outcome you could imagine.
they changed their font to make the logo scale better, and this chode is out there screeching about DEI and larping importance. “drop the egos” indeed.
Since the theme of the US Open is celebrating Althea Gibson, I wish the USTA had spoken up in support of Taylor Townsend and reprimanded Jelena Ostapenko. Be an upstander not a silent bystander. #USOpen @benrothenberg.bsky.social writes: www.benrothenberg.com/p/althea-gib...
Has he ever signed his name on a post this way before?
WTAF is this f*ckery?
WTF?
The new CDC director is trying to kill you. Not just “the most vulnerable”; you, me, everyone. This is a comic book-level evil scenario.
Has anyone has asked the new CDC acting director Jim O'Neill if he has renounced the Thiel Fellowship, the organization he co-founded? The fellowship incentivizes students, including science students, to drop out of school by offering $200,000 grants. bsky.app/profile/nanc...
I'm not sure im reading that correctly.
It's beyond bizarre.
Ah, I'm with you. I had to read it about 20 times before I posted it. Then I sent to science experts for a reality check.
How so?
Excuse me?
No wonder so many Silicon Valley guys are so uneducated about so much.
They don’t want educated people. They want to program you to conspiracy theories and propaganda. Such insanity.

Not only is our new acting director of the CDC NOT a scientist, but he also has deep ties to Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley’s techno-utopia movement. One epidemiologist compared Jim O’Neill’s appointment to “making Elon Musk head of the FAA.”
Peter Thiel crony named acting director of CDC. Jim O'Neill was CEO of the Thiel Foundation and was managing director for Thiel's Clarium Capital and Mithril Capital. He also co-founded the Thiel Fellowship. gift link to WaPo, which barely mentions these things:

New acting director of CDC Jim O'Neill expressed being pro paid organ donation. "There are plenty of healthy spare kidneys walking around, unused."
Take your medical guidance from your PCP and local hospitals. Everything at the federal level is nonsense.
Who Is the New Acting C.D.C. Director? Jim O’Neill is cofounder of the Thiel Fellowship, which makes $200,000 grants to students — requiring them to drop out of school. Is the new CDC director anti-science? www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/h...

Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
those of us who spent decades in tech can tell who has the degree and who doesn't. it's not a pretty picture.
Typo: incentivizes
The new head of the CDC has no medical education. But he did found the [Peter] Thiel Fellowship.
Is the new CDC head anti-science? Thank you for your new book @michaelemann.bsky.social @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social #ScienceUnderSiege bsky.app/profile/nanc...

🚨 New CDC head Jim O’Neill is co-founder of the Thiel Fellowship, eligibility age 22 and under. If a young person is studying science, they must drop out of school in order to accept the $200,000 grant. The fellowship co-founded by our new CDC director incentives science students to drop out.

The Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index is a national benchmarking tool on corporate policies, practices, and benefits pertinent to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer employees (LGBTQ+). Disney shareholders rejected a proposal to break from the HRC and its CEI index.
💥 BREAKING: Walt Disney Company shareholders voted today 99-1 percent to reject an anti-LGBTQ+ proposal, requesting that the company sever its relationship with the Human Rights Campaign and HRC's Corporate Equality Index. Disney Board recommended shareholders vote against the proposal.
✊ Althea Gibson was the first Black player to participate in the US Open in 1950. She became the first Black woman to compete at Wimbledon and the first Black woman to win a Grand Slam tennis tournament. In total, Gibson won five Grand Slam singles titles. #USOpen www.linkedin.com/posts/female...

💥 The NFL is stoked to be woke. “All 32 teams will feature an end zone message of their choice at each home game throughout the season, selecting from four options: ‘End Racism,’ ‘Stop Hate,’ ‘Choose Love’ or ‘Inspire Change.’ africa.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...
There's a tweet for everything.
RFK Jr: "We're launching studies on the potential contribution of some of the SSRI drugs and some of the other psychiatric drugs" “'This event in Minneapolis was 100% preventable. This was exactly the kind of event we could have stopped,' said a former DHS employee" www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/u...
Trump's support of Pete Rose was among the factors weighed by Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred when he decided "that permanent bans by the sport ended with death, which allows the career hits leader to be considered for the Hall of Fame." www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...
“'This event in Minneapolis was 100% preventable. This was exactly the kind of event we could have stopped,' said a former DHS employee, who asked not to be named out of fear of their deferred resignation being impacted." #GunViolence #Vote
"Forced" and "involuntary" resignation. Sounds as though he's teeing up a lawsuit.
