Another proposal from a bunch of bigots:

The National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) is a conservative 501(c)(3) non-profit group that monitors and reports on the ethics of public officials, supporters of liberal causes, and labor unions in the United States.

Is that their own description, or one from someone else?

That's from the Wikipedia entry on the NLPC. However, if you look at their history, their social media accounts and the words from the long-term Chair, it's nothing but right-wing, ultra conservative bigotry on a regular basis. They are not subtle with their culture war rhetoric and their outright hate.

With Mango II just follow the money. The hypocrite's attempt to have his buddy Ellison buy TT fell through, so now let's see if Musty wants it. It's oddly quiet about rumors that he's negotiating to buy it.

The Supremes just ruled unanimously that the ban goes into effect Sunday. Congress should not have put the ban in such a critical vote. A standalone vote should have been the way to get the CCP's hands off TT or force a ban.

The loudest, most incessant voices against DEI and for "meritocracy" are resoundingly quiet when it comes to favoring self-hating, incompetent Black voices that agree with them. They hate competent Black people, especially brilliant Black women that put the lie to Black inferiority. They champion fools like Hershel Walker, Byron Donalds and Mark Robinson. They target all women trying to integrate fields dominated by white males that are allowed to fail and destroy several times while championing dimwits like MTG, Aileen Cannon and Kelly Loeffler.

Unfortunately for women, especially Black women, DEI programs are mostly all talk, little action. They're forced to work in institutions that give them greater access to hiring, but lack frameworks to mentor, promote and guide them within increasingly hostile environments. Worse is the folding of these programs at the earliest hint of opposition. Then people like to pat themselves on the back and say "Well, at least we tried."

It's a lose-lose situation for Black people and other persons of color, and LGBTQ+ communities. They're better off remaining isolated and creating their own opportunities away from the spotlight.

Very shoddy journalism, at best. This India Today “report” is all over the place. Initially 185 were sacked by Apple — now down to “about 50” — and “there are many Indians amongst the fired employees.” Yet not one Indian is named. Just six non-Indians charged months ago. There are no links to charges, investigations or allegations for these bad Indians beyond the biased “news” sources quoting each other. Oy vey!
