Plenty of presidents have defied court orders. The type of order matters greatly. Defying injunctions is only contempt of court. This was a ruling, as was the return of Garcia. These are defining of a constitutional crisis.

The previous dismissals of court orders were injunctions, not rulings. That’s a contempt of court charge, not a constitutional crisis.

Today were both the first and second rulings he has openly defied. The first was refusing to return Garcia. The second was refusing to allow the AP into the Oval Office to cover the press conference.

You are correct. He was defying injunctions before. That’s only a contempt of court charge. There are rulings that he is defying.

He’s actually created two constitutional crises today. They refused to admit the AP into the Oval Office for the press conference with Bukele.

He was speaking to the president of El Salvador in regards to building more supermax prisons to incarcerate “homegrown” criminals. He repeated it on camera. The only difference with the hot mic is the scale that he failed to mention on camera.

I deleted it because it’s written poorly. It implies requirements. There are none. Affirmative Action had metricized hiring quotas that must be met. DEI does not.

This is a better explanation from Forbes on how quotas are not just bad for the majority, but also cause resentment within minority groups.

Although DEI quotas can help level the playing field for historically marginalized groups, and help to send a message that a company is committed to diversity and inclusion, they may also be seen as discriminatory. When a company sets aside a certain number of positions for members of a particular group, it can send the message that these groups are not qualified to compete on their own merits. Quotas can lead to resentment among employees who feel that they were not hired based on their qualifications, and they can be difficult to implement and enforce. It can be challenging to determine who is eligible for a quota position and how to measure the effectiveness of a quota program.

That’s MAGA’s definition of DEI because Affirmative Action was repealed, so they needed a new way to rally the racists and bigots.

The only hiring guideline is equal representation in interviewing. There are no quotas in DEI as there were under Affirmative Action. No one gets hired to fulfill a requirement.

I’ve managed and hired in workplaces that have employed DEI for years. It’s not a hiring quota, like Affirmative Action. It’s a training course and cultural adoption to increase awareness around unconscious bias and microagressions. It’s a way to help identify discrimination, and bring it out into conversation. It also focuses on the benefits of diverse perspectives when approaching a problem.

What’s the point of sitting on a $53B endowment if you’re not going to use it? Losing $9B in contracts to fight fascism is worth every penny.

Right. You didn’t know what I was talking about this entire time. Learn to read bruh.

Let it be someone else’s carpet. Or in this case, driveway.

Skip to 3:10 for the action.

You can write code like this by stretching a fat rubber band around a ruler, then writing on it. It’s only legible when stretched.

They’re referring to the relationship between surface area and combustion. Talc, for example, melts but does not burn. Talc powder can ignite if blown over an open flame.

This was my initial comment on this post. I believe we may have been having two different conversations.

I never once said I was against raising it. This debate began when I stated that raising it to $17 is sufficient for a federal minimum wage, as it’s the median income in Arkansas.

That is the literal point of a minimum wage. If your state is not providing you with a minimum wage that is above the poverty line, then you need to challenge your state officials to increase it.
