It’s Time to Abolish, Redefine and Rebuild University DEI Departments.

The people of the United States need to have a robust and wide-open conversation on this proposal. I don't know that a meaningful conversation would be possible, however, given that so many people now support censorship, cancellation, ad hominem attacks, words-are-harmful, Manicheanism and the idea that we should divide all people into two--count'm, two--"colors."

Hillary Clinton Tries to Inject Life into the Dead Theory of Russian Collusion

Someone needs to urge Hillary to take a deep breath and go read the Twitter Files for herself. No need to trust Taibbi. Just go read the files themselves on Twitter. BTW, you won't find meaningful information about these historic disturbing disclosures at NYT/MSNBC/NPR/WaPo, because it would be too embarrassing for them to admit that they were actively cheerleading the fraud for years. Here is a rare exception
