#DEI prgms toppled amid a surge of #conservative #lawsuits
A yr after #SCOTUS struck down race-based college admissions, #RightWing *public interest* grps have filed a barrage of federal lawsuits intended to dismantle long-standing #corporate & #government prgms that consider race in awarding #jobs & other #opportunities, & their #litigation already is eroding the use of #AffirmativeAction in an array of #American institutions.

"You get more conservative when you get older" only really worked for the generations that got RICHER as they got older.
The real truth was always just "You get more selfish the more money you have".

#Democrats flip #SocialMedia *#censorship* complaints on #Musk, #GOP
#ElonMusk’s #X is facing #impartiality questions after he endorsed #Trump & the *platform* restricted pro-#Harris account.
#Republicans have spent the better part of a decade accusing #SocialMedia companies of “censoring” *#conservative* viewpoints & skewing their platforms to benefit Democrats.

He found a #Project2025 duffel bag. Then police showed up at his house.
Author #MalcolmHarris opened the door of his Capitol Hill home on Tues morning to find a DC police officer on his stoop.
The officer had come to find out what Harris knew about a missing “Project 2025” duffel bag from the #conservative #HeritageFoundation think tank — & the documents that had been inside. But Harris wasn’t interested in chatting.

This is pretty much what most Republicans sound like to me at this point.

I really need to find a new coffee shop.
I've been going to this Christian coffee shop run by a local large-ish ministry in Frisco, TX for a couple years, and I've always liked it primarily because they had good teas and snacks, although I never bothered with their books (dispensational theology, not my thing). They always have plenty of great seating with tables, and the music is quiet and calming. The prices aren't great, but that's everywhere nowadays.
In the past three months or so, I notice more and more the white boomers are congregating here and talking... absolute noise. George Soros this, AOC that, DEI, just an absolute alphabet soup of mindless #conservative dog whistles.
*sigh*
I'm out.
There's another Christian coffee shop in Plano apparently NOT full of idiots, but they don't have too many tables (so no room to sit down with a book and journal and/or laptop, etc.).
I don't honestly care about the religion of the coffee shop (I'd be totally down to chill out at a Sikh or Buddhist coffee shop or anything else), but the atmosphere is important to me. So many coffee shops are really loud, or just terribly corporate (scubrats!)
Last week:
#Conservative opposition leader #Poilievre loses his own seat in #Canada
This week:
Conservative opposition leader (of the Liberal Party, but that's the conservatives in Australia) #Dutton loses his own seat in #Australia
🤣🤣🤣
👏👏👏
Congratulations Australia and #LaborParty's #Disability advocate #AliFrance!
She lost her leg in a car accident in 2011, sparking an interest in protecting the public #healthcare system
