DEI | Diversity, equity, and inclusion
Wikipedia | public | current

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are organizational frameworks which seek to promote the fair treatment and full participation of all people, particularly groups who have historically been underrepresented or subject to discrimination on the basis of identity or disability.[1] These three notions (diversity, equity, and inclusion) together represent "three closely linked values" which organizations seek to institutionalize through DEI frameworks.

Maddow Reveals The HIDDEN TRUTH Behind Trump's NEW Scandal
Occupy Democrats | | 08/01/24

At Rolling Stone today they profile 70 different election officials who have been put into position in the swing states of Arizona Georgia Michigan Nevada North Carolina and Pennsylvania, who are election denialists committed election denialists officials that have been put in place in all of the swing states to make sure that election results no matter what they are do not get certified in those States.

This year "at least 22 of these election officials have already refused or delayed certification processes in recent elections" according to democratic election lawyer Mark Elias "I think we are going to see Mass refusals to certify the election in November. Republicans are counting on not just that they can disrupt the election in big counties, they're counting on the fact that if they don't don't certify in several small counties you can't certify Statewide results".

The News
Inside the Freedom Caucus' worsening identity crisis
Politico | Olivia Beavers | 08/01/24

The powerful House Freedom Caucus is wrangling with a worsening identity crisis - one that could soon redefine the group's alignment with former President Donald Trump.

Generally, the divisions lie between the Tea Party-aligned old guard, focused more on conservative principles, and the more populist MAGA-friendly members. It's a debate that has persisted in the notoriously private group for a while, but its fights are increasingly spilling into the open.

Members have had multiple public rifts over the past year - including ugly personal feuds stemming from the likely primary defeat of Freedom Caucus Chair Bob Good (R-Va.). There's also been near-constant tension over the past year due to votes to boot members, the ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, spending disputes and hardball floor tactics.

Robert Reich Mashups
Robert Reich

In an interview with The New York Times in 2008, Reich explained that "I don't believe in redistribution of wealth for the sake of redistributing wealth. But I am concerned about how we can afford to pay for what we as a nation need to do [...] [Taxes should pay] for what we need in order to be safe and productive. As Oliver Wendell Holmes once wrote, 'taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society.'"

In response to a question as to what to recommend to the incoming president regarding a fair and sustainable income and wealth distribution, Reich said: "Expand the Earned Income Tax Credit—a wage supplement for lower-income people, and finance it with a higher marginal income tax on the top five percent. For the longer term, invest in education for lower income communities, starting with early-childhood education and extending all the way up to better access to post-secondary education."

Reich is pro-union, saying: "Unionization is not just good for workers in unions, unionization is very, very important for the economy overall, and would create broad benefits for the United States." Writing in 2014, he stated that he favors raising the federal minimum wage to $15/hr across three years, believing that it will not adversely impact big business, and will increase higher value worker availability.

Lindsey Graham

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said the quiet part aloud on why he’s still so close to former President Donald Trump: because we can use him for our goals. "President Trump has gotten people who wouldn't give me or Romney or anybody else the time of day. They believe he is on their side," the senator told the America First Agenda Summit crowd on Tuesday in Washington, D.C.
