    It’s “DEI” because black Alabamans were pushed into sub standard areas and neglected. This program was supposed to (minimally) address that.

      it’s the two santas cycle. republicans make everything worse for everyone. democrats, instead of working to undo the harm, put in stop gap measures to mitigate the harm establishing a new, worse, status-quo different from the one before the republicans made everything worse. nothing is new, and this is how the overton window always shifts rightward. also the two santas cycle and the ratchet problem are two ways of describing the same thing

    Congress needs to take their spending power back. Unless it is a matter of national security the shitass in the White House should have no say in it.

      TBH if it was a matter of national security, I would really prefer if he didn’t have any say either.

    Shouldn’t the goal of government be to give everyone decent living conditions? But no, now decent living conditions for non-white people is “DEI” and that’s bad for some reason

      We’re dealing with people who think like Nazis (because they are): there are superior and inferior people, and the inferior people are a needless burden on the superior ones. So they feel no obligation to provide for everyone. They want it so that only a few people can survive, the superior ones, which happens to be themselves, and the rest just die.

        And they think including others somehow means excluding them. Take the “happy holidays” vs “merry Christmas” debate for example. Happy holidays includes Christmas. But they think being inclusive of other holidays is somehow automatically excluding their holiday

    “I just take one day at a time and pray about it and keep moving on." And THAT is why they will steamroll your community. Because you will just sit there and take it, praying for change.
