Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

In the past four weeks, Costco, which has embraced DEI initiatives, GAINED 7 million shoppers… Target, which got rid of DEI, LOST 5 million shoppers! That’s the power we have as consumers. Remember that.

You know we can use the domino meme to look forward in time too, right?

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Sound Sad

NIH is the best investment there is. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

Please read and share. Musk is attempting to blame Ukraine for the X cyberattack, but word has already spread that it was a false flag. What is a false flag? A false flag operation is an act committed to disguise the actual source of responsibility and shift blame onto another party.

Rules are rules

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

On #IWD2025, we honor Dr. Lucy Frank Squire, a radiologist and educator who wrote “Fundamentals of Radiology,” a vital resource still used today. Although denied from a pathology program due to her gender, she became the 1st woman resident in Mass General's radiology program. #RadiologyInfo #Radsky

Boosting the signal for this great project

At #StandUpForScience Emily Whitehead is now speaking on being 1st pediatric cancer patient to receive CAR T-therapy. She was about to be place on science, now is 13 years cancer free. "Science saved my life." She was introduced by former NIH Director Francis Collins. www.chop.edu/news/emily-w...

This Sunday, the whole country needs to spring forward from 1939.

Now that Georgetown has written the correct response, it's time for Columbia to send the Legend response: "I feel you should be aware that some asshole is signing your name to stupid letters."

Canceling NIH grants is a great example of waste, fraud, and abuse. Even canceling just my grant alone, in year 3 of 5, would be a waste of the more than $1M already given to us for this project. Multiply that by hundreds of grants, and they are just throwing away taxpayer $$$. And for what? +

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

We just want to remind you: You’re not alone. We’re all in this together, and we’ll get through it together. We’ve seen so many people sharing their feelings of anxiety and stress—please take a moment for yourself. Your well-being matters. Sending you hugs—you are amazing, and we love you all! 💚

Francis Collins, the NIH Director for 12 years, led the Human Genome Project and other NIH efforts for 32 years, resigned today. Key words from his resignation letter www.nytimes.com/2025/03/01/u...

Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger "ponzi scheme" is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations?

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there. The show must go on.

Dear President Zelensky, please know that many of us do not support those clowns. We respect you and we are sorry.

#Ramadan Mubarak to all who celebrate the holy month, which is expected to begin this weekend with the sighting of the crescent moon. 🌙

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.” I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

BREAKING: A federal judge in California has ordered OPM to rescind memos calling for the mass termination of probationary employees, saying the agency overstepped its legal authority and must inform other agencies it lacked the authority to issue such a directive.

The BBC is quite correct.

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

"Empathy is not weak or "woke." And, by the way, "woke" just means you give a damn about other people." ~ Jane Fonda ❤️

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

Perfection

A teacher recently told me that having all those active shooter drills means they now know where to hide their students when ICE shows up. And if that doesn’t encapsulate this country, I don’t know what does.

I promise you that whatever portion of the population thinks this is cool, we outnumber them by a lot. This is going to all come crashing down. I am appalled at the pain and suffering that is being caused along the way, but we will prevail as long as we don't give in to despair and keep fighting.

Just a reminder that the HPV vaccine literally PREVENTS CANCER and the series can be started as early as 9 years of age.

Federal career workers: We appreciate you and your work. You don't deserve this mistreatment. Here's a file with lots of resources if you are facing illegal termination. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Second Amendment supporters can never again argue that they need firearms to defend against a tyrannical power that might overtake the US.

ok i am absolutely SICK of this anticipatory obedience that we're seeing across academic institutions and scientific organizations. miss me with the "oh the white house said xyz we have to stop DEI." EXECUTIVE ORDERS ARE NOT LAW.

I am just putting this out there, preemptive compliance that means erasure of an already neglected community is being complicit in their erasure. Stand up and don't remove stuff because something might happen, remove it when you are forced to (and even then fight back). True colors showing...

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

Spain's population is predicted to halve by 2100. To avert this, Spain has encouraged immigration. Since then, unemployment has dropped and the economy soared. There's a moral here, somewhere (Thanks to Dr JG of Sussex for pointing this article out to me). www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...
