SCOOP: AT&T Corporation has created a race reeducation program with materials claiming that "racism is a uniquely white trait" and teaching employees: "White people, you are the problem."
Here's the full story.🧵
I have obtained a cache of internal documents about the company’s initiative, called Listen Understand Act, which is based on the core principles of critical race theory, including "intersectionality," "systemic racism," "white privilege," and "white fragility."
AT&T company instructs employees to study a resource claiming that the United States is a "racist society" and telling readers: "White people, you are the problem. Regardless of how much you say you detest racism, you are the sole reason it has flourished for centuries."
The resource claims that "American racism is a uniquely white trait" and that "Black people cannot be racist." White women, in particular, "have been telling lies on black men since they were first brought to America in chains."
In another resource, AT&T teaches that "COVID-19 may have actually helped prepare us to confront in a deeper, more meaningful way the many faces of racism" by giving whites a fear of imminent death and "brooding sense of always feeling vulnerable."
Furthermore, as millions of Americans have lost their jobs, they "have more time" to attend street protests, which provided "a way to feel like one could have an impact." The sense of "shared helplessness," the resource claims, has resulted in positive political activism.
Finally, AT&T encourages employees to participate in a 21-Day Racial Equity Habit Challenge, which teaches that "Whiteness is one of the biggest and most long-running scams ever perpetrated" and that the "weaponization of whiteness" is a "constant barrage of harm" for minorities.
The 21-Day Challenge also directs employees to articles and videos promoting fashionable left-wing causes, including "reparations," "defund police," and "trans activism," with further instruction to "follow, quote, repost, and retweet" left-wing activist organizations.
AT&T is another Fortune 100 company that has succumbed to the latest fad: corporate "diversity and inclusion" programming that traffics in the ugly concepts of race essentialism and collective guilt.
EXCLUSIVE: Kamala Harris plagiarized at least a dozen sections of her criminal-justice book, Smart on Crime, according to a new investigation. The current vice president even lifted material from Wikipedia.
We have the receipts. 🧵
The investigation was conducted by Dr. Stefan Weber, a famed Austrian "plagiarism hunter" who has taken down politicians in the German-speaking world. We independently confirmed multiple violations, which are comparable in severity to the plagiarism found in former Harvard president Claudine Gay's doctoral thesis.
We can begin with a passage in which Harris discusses high school graduation rates. Here, she lifted verbatim language from an uncited AP/NBC News report:
EXCLUSIVE: Northwestern Law Review published a special issue featuring only black women. But, according to material unearthed in a new lawsuit, the issue was rife with plagiarism.
This is how DEI corrupts academic standards. 🧵
Lawyer Jonathan Mitchell has filed an updated lawsuit against Northwestern Law School and its far-left former dean, @DBRodriguez5, for alleged racial discrimination in hiring. As part of this complaint, Mitchell identifies significant plagiarism by a prominent DEI hire and the law school's DEI-obsessed academic journal.
@DBRodriguez5 According to the lawsuit, Northwestern hired Myriam Gilles, a black woman, and, apparently, overlooked Professor Gilles's massive plagiarism, because, Mitchell alleges, the university prioritized diversity over merit.
EXCLUSIVE: We have discovered that migrants are, in fact, eating cats in Ohio. We have verified, with multiple witnesses and visual cross-references, that African migrants in Dayton, the next city over from Springfield, barbecued these cats last summer. christopherrufo.com/p/the-cat-eate…

EXCLUSIVE: @Buttonslives and I have discovered that the Biden-Harris Administration subsidized the Venezuelan migrants who took over the apartments in Aurora, Colorado, through a funnel of government agencies and left-wing NGOs.
It's time to follow the money. 🧵
The story begins in 2021, when the Biden–Harris administration signed the American Rescue Plan Act into law, allocating $3.8 billion to Colorado. The City of Denver drew on this reservoir of funds to launch its migrant resettlement and housing program.
The city, in turn, funneled more than $5 million to two left-wing NGOs, ViVe Wellness and Papagayo, to secure housing for thousands of Venezuelan migrants.
These organizations are run by Yoli Casas and Marielena Suarez, two Venezuelan immigrants who do not appear to have previous experience in large-scale migrant resettlement. Much of this funding was directly tied to ARPA, through the Migrant Support Grant program.
I love most of American politics, but "eating junk food to demonstrate you're an authentic American" is a bizarre, fake, terrible tradition.
Every year, we watch Democrats and Republicans show up at the Iowa State Fair and eat deep-fried corndogs—which most educated professionals would never do voluntarily. They make a show of "relatability" based on our poisonous food culture, which has plagued half the country with obesity, diabetes, and other chronic conditions.
The Harris-Walz ticket has seemingly predicated its entire campaign on dessert consumption. They send Walz to eat cheap fried dough in the heartland, while Kamala, at least, eats artisan-crafted treats in coastal cities. The Trump-Vance ticket has done it, too, with Trump at McDonald's and Vance awkwardly ordering a dozen glazed in a strip mall donut shop.
It's a tradition, I get it. But we should eventually move beyond it. Leaders should inspire people to a higher standard, which, in America, should include health and nutrition. I would love to see some Midwestern corndog-wallah approach RFK, Jr., and have him politely decline and explain why.
Literally just eating food at gas stations, donut shops, cake stores, state fairs, and now a pretzel factory. That's the campaign.🤦♂️
EXCLUSIVE: A nurse at Texas Children's Hospital claims that doctors in the hospital’s child sex-change program committed Medicaid fraud. "The largest children's hospital in the country is illegally billing Medicaid for transgender procedures."
A massive scandal. 🧵
Vanessa Sivadge is a registered nurse at Texas Children's Hospital who has worked extensively with the hospital's "transgender" patients. She taught a child how to inject sex-change hormones. Then she realized she was participating in "deeds of evil and darkness."
Sivadge was the anonymous whistleblower who denounced TCH's child sex-change program in an interview with me last year. After that, she says, the FBI sent two agents to her home to intimidate and threaten her.
