It is ironic because trump firing a Black 4-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff only to name a less qualified white man to the same job is the reason why DEI policies exist in the first place.

I voted for her. I think he’s a bad guy. But if you lose the senate, house, electoral college AND popular vote, and you think the lesson is half the country is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and stupid… wrong lesson. And the same thing will likely happen in 2028.

John Oliver delivers one hell of a closing argument, especially to voters torn over supporting Kamala despite everything happening in Gaza. youtu.be/tWZAbKU-JzE?si=JI0x…

Listening to @TomCrann “interview” Tom Emmer makes me want to rescind my financial support for @MPRnews. It’s not neutral or balanced to let him blatantly lie without saying anything. You might as well start hosting campaign rallies.

Can we...just accept that we suck at this? I want to tell you a story that has made me kinda hopeless about Twitter's ability to affect positive things happening, and it starts with this tweet from Hillary Clinton. nitter.cf/HillaryClinton/status/…

SHAPEFILES ARE NOT A GOOD FORMAT FOR STORING SPATIAL DATA. THERE ARE NO NULL VALUES, ATTRIBUTE NAMES ARE LIMITED TO 10 CHARACTERS, PROJECTION FILES ARE NOT REQUIRED, AND...

Kids can’t learn on an empty stomach. I say this as a classroom teacher who supervised the lunchroom for 20+ years.   This school lunch was nutritious, filling, and free. Because in Minnesota, we will not allow our kids to go hungry.

Winter makes our transportation priorities so obvious. Street: perfectly cleared. Bikeway: half-cleared. Sidewalk: untouched (with lots of footprints showing the pedestrian traffic in this area).

We have a word for Germans in the 1930s who supported Hitler--not because they were racists or anti-Semitic, but because of economic anxiety, or they wanted Germany to be great again, or they didn't pay close attention to the news, or Germany had gotten a bad deal after WW1. 1/5

The thing I want to point out about this headline is that men are never called "outspoken," they just speak.
