    Fun fact. Even if with a federal judge, this ruling can only provides relief to the people of Massachusetts now. Only the supreme court can rule any action the United States takes as “nationally unconstitutional” I guess. Good luck getting a federal judge in Texas to rule similarly. What a great system of government.

    Any time I hear some one complaine about " Wokeness" or DEI o ask them to define it or which part of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion do they not like.

    You get a lot of panicked answers

      The most coherent I’ve heard is some variation of "I don’t want underqualified people to get jobs over qualified people simply because of their demographics.

      No one has any evidence of this occuring of course. At least not beyond hearsay or a single anecdote about someone they just know was a diversity hire I swear.

    us president: “yes i can and now you are under arrest”

    courts have almost no authority in this country anymore. the president has decided to ignore them and the supreme court is packed with his two bit subhuman glazers that allow him to do it

    law is only a thing weaponized against the working class
