Of course #DEI is just another of a long string of terms that the #GOP has gone out of their way to make derogatory, along with #woke and many, many others. It should be obvious to anyone who is paying even the least bit of attention that we are decidedly not a color-blind society, nor are we a society free of discrimination. Quite the contrary, in fact. This is why #DEI programs are more important than ever. Not to mention the #A11Y label the executive order ducked in. As a person who is blind, there are certain things I need to level the playing field for me. If I were forced to rely on employers to just do the right thing and hire me, I’d be waiting a long time, possibly forever. If an employer has the choice between me and another perspective candidate who is not disabled, who do you think they’ll give the job to? No-brainer, it would go to the person for whom no accommodation needs to be made, no extra expense in adaptive equipment, etc. Chances are pretty good I’d be sent away with platitudes about how it’s so great that I’m out there trying, I’m an inspiration, blah blah blah. Racism is not over. Discrimination is not over. And outmoded notions about disability are far from over. So the current regime can take their dreck about how they just want to make things color-blind and equal and just stick it. #WeAreNotGoingBack

Today marks day one of the unraveling of MAGA. These power drunk doofuses will ultimately collapse under hubris, in-fighting, greed, old ideas, mental decline, and, most importantly, a rise in opposition that will stun them and the world.

We're not going back.

there will never be peace until democracy is restored in America. Trump and elon musk have used you to work their way to the top. it doesn't have to be this way. now is not a time to let darkness prosper, but a time to find the light. for when it is dark, it only takes one person to flip the switch. #democracy #KamalaHarris #democrats #antitrump #wearenotgoingback

We're making progress in the USA despite all of the gloom and doom. Coal use for power production is down almost four percent year over year in the USA.

Elon Musk is a man who seems to think because of his wealth and new political power that we all respect him. Well, newsflash, I can say for certain I don't. This man used you and me on X to gain his power in the new autocratic American administration. fuck you elon. democracy will be restored. #democracy #KamalaHarris #antitrump #wearenotgoingback

Good morning!

Last night,
after over a decade, I deactivated my Twitter account. #WeAreNotGoingBack

Last night,
I felt like this...

"My God, Bones... What Have I Done?"

For Musk and his ilk who are so afraid of and disdainful of women:

As the astute Betty White said,

“Why do people say, ‘Grow some balls’? Balls are weak and sensitive.

If you really wanna get tough, grow a vagina. Those things really take a pounding!”

We are all Cassian Andor now. Act now or we will never have a chance.

[Cassian Andor]: No, listen to me. They don't have enough guards, and they know it. They're afraid. Right now, they're afraid.
[Kino Loy]: Afraid? Afraid of what!
[Cassian Andor]: They just killed a hundred men to keep them quiet! What would you call that?
[Kino Loy]: I'd call that power.

A good call to action with historical context from humorist Andy Borowitz

#WeAreNotGoingBack
#PunchTheNazis

We will never give in to hate.
We will be fighting together until we will bring back #justice, #equality, #fairness.

We must surround ourselves with like-minded community, and hold each other up.

My shirt for today!
