Bluesky embeds are not working for me. All I see is blank space where the content should be. Any chance you could post a link aswell?

“DEI” just means Black people, let’s be honest. Ask a conservative how they can differentiate whether a Black person received an influential position in government or in corporate America on their own merit versus “woke” DEI mandates, and their head will explode.

It’s only a matter of time before MAGA flat out says that basically all Black people who are in positions of power are there solely because of DEI. One can only wear the mask for so long.

I posted a link. Media from Bluesky embeds directly except when the Bluesky post is restricted to logged in users, in which case a link card is generated instead of an embed.

The future is now.

Remember when Kamala was DEI and Trump was... hard work or something.

I still can't seem to find an explanation other than the obvious shared ideology for why Clarence Thomas hasn't been branded a DEI hire when the bitch was chosen to fill the Supreme Court vacancy that resulted from Marshall's retirement. It would have been seriously bad optics to replace the first and up-to-that-point only black justice with a white dude (or another white woman), which still means that race was part of the calculus and any number of other conservative candidates were passed on because they weren't black.

And what of that connie bitchfit over Biden's campaign promise to nominate a black woman ("ReEeEeEeEeEeE iDenTiTy PoLiTiCS") when Reagan campaigned on nominating a woman in 1980 and fulfilled that promise by nominating Sandra Day O'Connor?

DEI just means woke now. They're overlapping concepts to begin with, but people have tired of woke and DEI allows you more freedom to just fling the insult at minorities rather than just democrats.

It's amazing to me that we have gotten to the point where it becomes so socially accepted to just look at someone based on their skin color and resent them.

So this the logic:

White Male= smart
Non white / Female(DEi)= dumb and lazy


?

Did I get this right ? Is this essentially what trump and all the trumpers and trumpettes maga think ?

Fixed it for you given one of the helicopter pilots was found to be a woman with several hundred hours of experience & Maga morons aren't changing their tune about it being "DEI".

lol. lmao, even.

If it's unconstitutional then how does the restraining order (I assume that's what TRO is) only apply to the defendant states? The restraining order applies to the EO, not to the states who filed the motion eh?

@Keef, really awful week for the aviation community. Plane went down in Philadelphia.

A small medical transport plane has crashed into several buildings in north-east Philadelphia, setting homes and vehicles ablaze,and injuring people on the ground.

The jet was on a medical transport mission on Friday evening and carrying four crew members, a child patient and the patient's escort, Jet Rescue Air Ambulance, a medical aircraft company, said in a statement.

Philadelphia plane crash: Medical jet with six aboard crashes

The Learjet was carrying four crew, a child patient and the patient's escort when it crashed around 18:30 local time.

The footage I've seen looks like it just completely fell out of the sky. I wonder if the wings iced over?



Jesus, not a good start to American Aviation in 2025

I cannot believe what I just watched on TV. I had to turn it off. I am enraged. I feel personally attacked and disrespected.



This man, this absolute dog turd of a man, used this opportunity to politicize and point fingers at a deadly aviation disaster. Zero empathy, all hatred. I am shaking I'm so distraught by what he just did. He just mocked the only thing I've ever really cared about and been good at, being a pilot, and aviation safety.

I've got so many things to say but I'll just say this - I hope whoever voted for this guy gets exactly what they asked for, including the majority of pilots in the industry who tend strongly conservative.

Donald, don't point fingers before the investigation starts you idiot. A tragedy like this should not be politicised! People have died and the families want answers, not your stupidity and total lack of consideration.

Now apply this type of minimal scrutiny to everything else thing he says.
