1/ The United States government has been completely hijacked by woke activists.
The National Center for Environmental Health, which works with the CDC has a $200 million budget, is using Climate Change to advance DEI.
Let me show you just how deep the rot goes:
2/ The CDC teamed up with the American Public Health Association, and created a "climate change and health playbook" (pic 1) which the APHA says is focused on Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (pic 2)
They're using Climate change as an excuse to advance DEI.
3/ The APHA then does a definition of "JEDI" and as you can see it is just the entirety of woke ideology in the form of DEI.
Remember, this is a health care organization which is diverting taxpayer money to use Climate Change as an excuse to advance DEI.
4/ In addition to advancing DEI the CDC, NCEH, and APHA are also using something called BRACE (building resistance against climate effects). They want to mix this framework with DEI so that any climate initiative is done through the lens of DEI
5/ Using BRACE the CDC is allowing indigenous tribes to bring in "indigenous health indicators" as well as "indigenous concepts of health."
Basically, this the first step to allowing ideas that are not backed by western science and medicine. It's dangerous.
6/ Because the CDC and APHA have fully embraced wokeness, the CDC is using the "Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion" framework to get rid of women and mothers and replace them with "pregnant people."
Women are being erased by the CDC.
7/ All of the woke ideology is going to be baked into the Environtmental Justice Index, which will be a woke scorecard for the blending for climate change and DEI.
8/ Of course, the question is who are the people who are behind all of this?
Well here is your answer: the APHA has a list of people who are responsible for building the Climate Change and Health playbook that brings in the BRACE and JEDI frameworks.👇👇
9/ And if it is not clear what this is really all about the game is given away when they say that devolping a climate and health plan requires a "racial equity impact assessment"
Again, they want to use these plans in the service of "equity" and as I said yesterday the means....
10/ equity is not the same as equality. Equality is about equality of opportunity, equity is about equality of OUTCOME:
People who celebrate the murder of their political opponents are not participating in the marketplace of ideas, they are encouraging deadly political violence by building a permission structure to legitimize and justify the murder of those they disagree with.
My freedom of speech means I get to clearly and succintly explain to the whole world that if you call for the assassination of your rivals this is not free speech, it is a direct incitement to political violence.
John Stewart Mill gave a famous example where he said that if someone claims corn dealers are starvering the poor this can be allowed if circulated through the press, but is not allowed when shouted in front of an excited mob assembled outside the house of a corn dealer....
1/ The Radical Left has used political violence to advance their cause for decades. What's new is the progressive left's professional class building a permission structure to justify the use of political violence
It's called Assassination Culture, and we need to talk about it
🧵
2/ To understand what's happening, you need to understand that the line between progressive-left professional class and radical left has been blurred. The extremist radical left and the socially progressive "bluesky left" are increasingly intertwined both socially and politically
3/ This is because many of the extremist radical from the 60's and 70' who advocated for, and participated in, the use of political violence have been welcomed into the mainstream institutions that are run by the progressive left professional class.
Look at the number of pro-athletes posting condolences about Charlie Kirk, and you'll see what a huge cultural figure he was.
He wasn't just famous in conservative circles, his clips debating college students were a loadbearing pillar of online political pop-culture
His willingness to calmly and politely debate all comers on any issue (at the very moment when cancel culture was strongest and people were afraid to say what they think) made him a sort of lovable internet folkhero.
He was an indelible piece of the online landscape.
Charlie was not quarantined to the "conservative ghetto" of online content; he broke contain and became a mainstream cultural figure.
Charlie became the cultural symbol of free debate, free speech, and settling differences in public with words
What he is describing here is the deconstruction of America as an ideal. The goal is to destroy America by subverting the conception of America as a force for good which sustains American confidence, and attacking the founding narrative from which America derives it's legitimacy.
They will try to redefine America in a way which subverts the legitimacy of America as a national project. They want to erase the current American narrative, and replace it with a new one which grants them the right to inherit America's wealth, power, prestige, and influence.
They will attack America the same way they attacked Universities: by undermining legitimacy, authority, and self-confidence by asserting that the whole project is just racism, colonialism, and oppression in disguise.
2/ on racist resentment against white people and racialist identity politics, complete with the racist stereotyping.
This shows a continuity of thinking over a period of a decade, and there has been no take back, or explanation for the disgustingly racist tweets she made.
3/ Chris said he didn't care if she was fired, the point was to use her posts to force the New Yorker to choose between equal enforcement of bans on hiring racists who make racist content, or to be explicit that racism against Jews and whites is allowed...
