Republicans are resegregating America
accurate US history that offends Trump will be removed
https://www.inquirer.com/politics/na...-20260122.htmlThe National Park Service dismantled exhibits about slavery at the President’s House Site in Independence National Historical Park, provoking a lawsuit from Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle L. Parker’s administration.
The President’s House, which serves as a memorial to the nine people George Washington enslaved there during the founding of the United States, has come under increased scrutiny from President Donald Trump’s administration. The president and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum last spring ordered displays at national parks that “inappropriately disparage” the U.S. to be reviewed and potentially removed.
Around 3 p.m. Thursday, an Independence Park employee who would not give his name told an Inquirer reporter that his supervisor had instructed him to take down all the displays at the iconic site earlier that day. Three other individuals later joined the employee to help remove the educational exhibits. The final display was removed at 4:30 p.m. The displays were then loaded into the back of a white Park Service pickup truck.
“I’m just following my orders,” the employee repeatedly said, not acknowledging if he was tasked with removing the displays because of the executive order.
obeying preemptively turned out to be the dumb thing to do
The Education Dept's anti-DEI guidance violated the 1st Amendment and the APA so the court blocked it
https://apnews.com/article/dei-educa...2bc381890e5c8fThe Trump administration is dropping its appeal of a federal court ruling that blocked a campaign against diversity, equity, and inclusion threatening federal funding to the nation’s schools and colleges.
The Education Department, in a court filing Wednesday, moved to dismiss its appeal. It leaves in place a federal judge’s August decision finding that the anti-DEI effort violated the First Amendment and federal procedural rules.
The dispute centered on federal guidance telling schools and colleges they would lose federal money if they kept a wide range of practices that the Republican administration labeled asdiversity, equity and inclusion.
The department did not immediately comment.
Democracy Forward, a legal advocacy firm representing the plaintiffs, said the dismissal was “a welcome relief and a meaningful win for public education.”
“Today’s dismissal confirms what the data shows: government attorneys are having an increasingly difficult time defending the lawlessness of the president and his cabinet,” said Skye Perryman, the group’s president and CEO.
The department sent the anti-DEI warning in a “Dear Colleague Letter” to schools last February.
you're terrible at detecting which way the wind blows, Darrin
Trump is losing badly on DEI and many other areas of policy

ICE is murdering people in the street and the Times’ resident conservatives are droning on about the totalitarian threats to speech coming from the campuses and “managerial illiberalism.”
They’ve been stale for a while, but this focus is embarrassing as a tyrannical state kills people.https://bsky.app/profile/victorerikr.../3mdaxeoagm22c”College kids are the real threat to free speech” was always for rubes and marks who wanted the freedom to be bigoted without repercussions. If you are still writing that at this point you are incapable of acknowledging actual threats or high on your own supply.

Another L in Trump's war on trans people
Virginia elections last year proved it's a loser
https://calmatters.org/health/2026/0...ts-california/Transgender patients of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles secured a win this week after the U.S. Department of Justice agreed to end its efforts to obtain personal and medical information of more than 3,000 young patients.
Last summer, the federal Justice Department announced that it sent subpoenasto more than 20 medical providers that offered gender-affirming care for minors. At the time, the department said it was doing so to investigate “healthcare fraud” and “false statements.”
Seven families whose children have received gender-affirming services at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles sued in November to quash the subpoena to protect their information.
The department never provided evidence of fraud, said Khadijah Silver, director of Gender Justice & Health Equity at Lawyers for Good Government, one of the firms representing families in the class action lawsuit. The hospital did not not turn over the requested do ents.
“It was basically a fishing expedition,” Silver said. “Without any probable cause, they did not have the authority to be seeking medical information.”
The DOJ and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles did not immediately return requests for comment.
The department subpoena demanded the hospital provide a large range of do ents, including patient intake forms, insurance claims and “do ents sufficient to identify each patient (by name, date of birth, social security number, address, and parent/guardian information) who was prescribed puberty blockers or hormone therapy,” court do ents show.
Under the agreement, filed in federal court Thursday, the Justice Department will withdraw requests for do ents that identified patients or their families through 2029.
A&M kills women's and gender studies
https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-po...-m-university/The closest thing the school has to an officially approved history, Henry C. Dethloff’s Texas A&M University: A Pictorial History, 1876–1996, has barely passed one-sixth of its length before the first men in dresses appear—a cast photo of the Illyrians, a theater troupe that staged an all-male production of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night in 1911, at a time when many undergraduates still lived in tents. The play, you may remember, is a comedy whose main plot involves cross-dressing, which means a heroic corps of cadets man—thank you for your service, sir—played Viola pretending to be Cesario, presaging by about eighty years Judith Butler’s theories about the performativity of gender.
Aggies continued to put innovative research into the field of immersive gender studies in the ensuing decades. Starting in 1947 freshmen cadets were “required to wear lipstick and rouge and skip to class like girls on the week before Bonfire and the big football game [with the University of Texas at Austin]” by upperclassmen, according to a paper by A&M professor emeritus Jonathan Smith. When administrators tried to crack down on the practice, freshmen wrote in to The Battalion, A&M’s student newspaper, arguing for their right to “skip and wear makeup, and thereby earn ‘the privilege of saying they were True Aggies.’ ”

going voluntarily to an internment camp is woke
https://www.history.com/articles/jap...amp-ralph-lazoThat experience was fresh in Lazo’s mind when a Japanese American friend playfully asked him what he’d do without all of his buddies and suggested, “Why don’t you come along?” So he did.
Lazo told his father he was going to camp, but was evasive. By the time he arrived at the Manzanar War Relocation Center, it was too late—and his father did not ask him to come home.
Manzanar was one of the 10 prison camps where Japanese Americans spent the war. Located at the base of the Sierra Nevadas, it was prone to dust storms that swept through the flimsy barracks. Lazo would come to hate the brutal summer heat and the frigid winter temperatures there.
The camp offered few comforts, but some of Lazo’s friends were there. He attended school and got a job delivering mail around camp. He also forged lasting bonds with Issei (first generation Japanese) internees, who looked after him until he moved into a friend’s barracks. At Manzanar, Lazo studied Japanese, threw parties for his friends, planted trees and even became class president. “Ralph was by far the most popular student in our Manzanar High School class,” former internee Bill Hohritold the Los Angeles Japanese Daily News in 1992.
In August 1944, after two years at Manzanar, Lazo was drafted into the Army. Though his goal was to attend the Military Intelligence Language School, an Army program that taught Japanese to second-generation Japanese soldiers and trained them to use their language on the ground as translators and intelligence workers, he ended up fighting in the Pacific Theater instead. And his story made the national papers. “I did not believe that my friends of Japanese ancestry were disloyal to the United States,” he said.
Over the years, Lazo maintained his close ties to the Japanese American community—and his conviction that internment had been a mistake. “Internment was immoral,” he said. “It was wrong, and I couldn’t accept it.”
how woke is
backlash is roughly accurate
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/o...civil-war.html
big story of the last 60+ years in US politics is asymmetric disarmament around the concept of "grievance." too many Dems/libs bought pundit line that explicit invocations of injury were unseemly/illiberal. meanwhile the Right was happy to amplify those takes while leaning into victimhood politics

you know what is woke?
the Trump administration telling the Medgar Evers Home in MS that the Klansman who murdered him can't be referred to as a racist
https://mississippitoday.org/2026/02...ng-him-racist/The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument. Among the anticipated changes? No longer calling his murderer a “racist.”
Edits to the brochure have removed that reference to Byron De La Beckwith, according to Park Service officials, who asked not to be named for fear of retribution. Other edits include eliminating the reference to Medgar Evers lying in a pool of blood after being shot.

anti-DEI manifests ins utionally as restrictive speech codes
https://www.clickorlando.com/news/lo...-student-says/Now, a Florida A&M University law student says those restrictions are having a direct impact on student organizations even during Black History Month.
Aaliyah Steward says she is in her final year at Florida A&M University College of Law, and she has encountered obstacles while trying to promote Black History Month events for the Black Law Students Association.
According to Steward, certain words were flagged during the approval process for event flyers.
“It was ‘black,’ ‘affirmative action,’ and ‘women’ as well,” Steward said.
snacks has never commented on a school shooting before.
He's in favor of them as long as the shooter isn't trans.
Canada is sort of the ancestral home of PC in North America, their version was contemporaneous with Pierre Trudeau and the background of 1960s Quebecois nationalism and hippie counterculture

The massacre is perfectly horrible, as a resident of a country with a very violent gun culture, I have compassion for Canadians today
