Congress gave The National Endowment for the Arts *207,000,000*, and then told the NEA to fund projects focused on "the history of Systemic Racism"

Let's look at what the NEA did with your money.

A thread🧵

Congress has the power to fund agencies and tell them how to spend their funding, and Congress told the NEA to "Continue prioritizing diversity" and to prioritize increasing diversity among "NEA staff, the National Council of the Arts, Discipline Directors, and Peer Panelists"

Much of what @GreeneMan6 said in our debate caught me off guard. If I looked unprepared it's cause I was.

For Example, I wasn't ready for claims like:
"The people will have the opinion that the state teaches them, we are talking about how the State will create public opinion" 2/
In the moment, I wasn't prepared for that, but I think I have an answer to that now.

I do no think that State has the ability to reach into the heads of people and re-arrange their thinking. The sort of brainwashing that is implied by his claim simply won't work at scale.

DEI has taken over The Department of Veteran Affairs.

The VA is using Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for "hiring and position and talent management," and also created a "Gender-affirming Program with Speech" to help people change sex.

How DEI captured the VA,

A thread🧵 2/
In September 2021 the Department of Veterans Affairs created an Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Action plan Pursuant to E.O. 13985 on racial equity.

This action plan is the Genesis for the adoption of DEI across the entirety of the VA.

Last May I said when woke dies the left will pivot to old school materialist politics (IE: Class warfare, Union Politics, economics)

You can see in leftist CEO murder discourse; it's all about income inequality, poverty, access to resources

They're pivoting to class warfare

As "woke" dies, Leftists will abandon the woke "oppressor/oppressed" categories (white vs black, straight vs gay, queer vs normal) and will move back to the old materialist oppressor/oppressed categories (rich vs poor, capitalist vs worker, proletariat vs bourgeois, etc).

Here's a story about the role of tradition:

From 1940-1960 the British tried to teach peasants in Malawi's Shire Valley to farm. When the British taught peasants to use "ridging" to combat soil erosion, they were surprised to find Malawian Farmers saying ridging doesn't work. 2/
But there is a twist...

Because the soil in Malawi's Shire Valley is sandy, the use of Ridging leads to increased soil erosion during the rainy season, while exposing the roots of plants to white ant attacks during the dry season.

In Malawi - ridging doesn't work...

Since 2021 the National Institutes of Health has spent *$151,824,185* on Diversity and Inclusion projects.

The NIH spent $151,824,185 on DEI in just 4 years.

Let's take a look at what the NIH is doing with your money.

A Thread/🧵

NIH spent $147,023,061 on "Faculty Institutional Recruitment for Sustainable Transformation" (FIRST)

The goal of first is creating a "community of scientists committed to diversity and inclusive excellence" with the goal of attaining "research workforce diversity"

1/
In 2024 the National Institutes of Health spent *$1,873,899,133* studying racism.

OF that money, **$915,783,714** was spent studying various aspects of "systemic racism."

Let's look at what the NIH did with your money.

The NIH approved a grant for $125,927 to study "Examining Anti-Racist Healing in Nature"

Stop letting feminism off the hook for its role in creating Gender Ideology

TERF's may oppose gender ideology, but it was radical feminists who first brought postmodernism into American Universities and used it to deconstruct gender...and that's how Gender ideology got started It was radical feminists who first wanted to destroy concepts of sex differences.

In 1970 Shulamith Firestone wrote in her book "The Dialectic of Sex" that the goal of feminism should be "not just the elimination of male privilege but of the sex distinction itself."

Woke isn't dead. Not even close.

The incubator of woke theories was Universities, but the incubator of the cultural expression of woke ideas was *TUMBLR*

Bluesky has the same energy, and the same mixture of academics, cultural creatives, and journalists Tumblr had in 2024... 2/
You can mock Bluesky all you want, but it has a VERY potent mixture of:

-Academics to create new woke theories
-activists to organize and develop new tactics
-bureaucrats to make institutions
-Artists to make/spread woke cultural products
-journalists to drive woke narratives

This teacher says he uses Critical Race Theory in the classroom, and anyone who doesn't want CRT in schools is racist.

So.... Let's talk about how the Department of Education spent millions of dollars putting Critical Race Theory in k-12 schools.

A Thread🧵 2/
Many on the left claim there is no CRT in education, but that isn't true.

Two of the founders of CRT (Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic) explain that while CRT started in law, it quickly moved into education. They even say CRT is more lively in education than it is in Law!

1/
This teacher admits she doesn't know when America was founded. She also says she doesn't teach her students the curriculum, but instead teaches about protesting anti-racism, activism, and Black Lives Matter.

So....Let's talk about the Department of Education.

A Thread🧵 2/
The entire education system, including the Department of Education, is full of activists, professors, teachers, and other people who thing teaching is a political act, and that Social Justice (AKA: woke ideology) should be the foundation of all learning and education.

There's a story behind the squirrel story everyone's missing.

A man had his home searched for 5 hours until officials found his pet squirrel, which they took and then killed.

The problem isn't that government broke the law, the problem is that it *didn't* break the law

/🧵 2/
People analyze this story as an abuse of power or as government over-reach, but that's not the problem.

The problem is that everything the government did, including killing the mans pet, was LEGAL.

And that's what people find scary: the government is allowed to act that way

Woke and Weaponized government mega thread!

I've been documenting how American government institutions have been hijacked by woke activists, and I've put all my threads in one big thread so you can see how bad things are/🧵

When lgbtq+ activists talk about 'queer' they don't mean "being different."

The lgbtq+ activists definition of "Queer" is about opposing and abolishing *ALL* social norms, and abolishing the idea that anything should ever be declared to be "normal"

Queer Theory,

"Queer Theory" is an academic discipline which claims to study human sexuality, except that it does not use *science* to study secuality.

Queer Theory analyzes sex, gender, and human sexuality using a method of engagement created by neo-marxists called "Critical Theory."

To show you how captured by wokeness Government institutions are, here's a list of insane things published by *JUST* the National Institutes for Health. /🧵

They hired a "fat activist" to write about "fatphobia, and say there's no evidence for safe weight loss.
2/
The NIH has an article about "Hari discrimination" and the prospect of living with "Black Hair in an Unjust Society"

1/
The National Institutes of Health hired an activist who claims:

-obesity doesn't cause poor health
-safe weight loss isn't possible
-poor outcomes for obese people are caused by fatphobia, and anti-fat bais

America's largest Health organization is captured by activists/🧵

2/
These ideas come out of an academic field called "Fat Studies," which has it's own academic journals. The ideas from Fat Studies come almost entirely out of Critical theory and Postmodernism.

Those who work in Fat Studies call themselves "Fat Scholars" and "Fat Activists."

Critical Social Justice (woke) activists don't see legitimacy as a product of competence, knowledge, merit, and and high standards rigorously and consistenly applied

They think legitimacy is a form of social capital that allows privileged people to accrue prestige and status

https://twitter.com/nationalpost/status/1849917348419154337

2/
According to wokeness, legitimacy is not given to institutions, ideas, or people because they have met the objective standards of merit, competence, knowledge, and truth

Rather, legitimacy is a social convention that gatekeeps access prestige, status, power, and resources.

This is Debra Chew

You've probably never heard of Debra Chew

Nobody elected Debra Chew

But she is responsible for more DEI policy in the U.S. government than any other bureaucrat. What she does is called "Policy Entrepreneurship," and it's how activists subvert democrcy🧵 2/
This letter from at the time Director Francis Collins outlines the extent the which Chew was able to build a huge apparatus of DEI withing the National Institutes of Health.

The sheer volume of DEI infrastructure she created has to be seen to be believed👇

The National Institutes of Health is racially segregating employee communications.

This article, "A Note For Employees of Color," is about 'code switching' and "creating a psychologically safe space" for people of color.

The NIH is captured by DEI administrators,

A Thread🧵
2/
The article is written by Kiana Atkins, the Principle Strategist for the Black Employment Portfolio, and Patricia Sauceda Kramer who is that Principle Hispanic Portfolio Employment Strategist.

These DEI administrators write employee communications for people based on race.

I can actually explain this:

Male physical intervention into conflict escalates the conflict. The man she refers to was being rude and such, if a man intervenes to stop him, the subway harasser likely becomes *violent*

These women do not understand what that means....
2/
There is no "margine for error." Almost nobody (save for pro UFC fighters) has the strength, power, and skill set to easily subdue someone. A man who becomes criminally violent will often not stop until he is stopped by being knocked unconscious or severely wounded. And...

There's a huge story behind @realchrisrufo's plagiarism investigations people have missed:

The integrity of America's elite institutions has been destroyed by fraud, lying, low standards, and political corruption.

It's just like the 2007 housing market.

To understand what's happening today we need to understand how the 2007 housing crisis happened.
Once we do that I'll show you how what's going on in America's elite institutions today perfectly mirrors what happened in the housing market during 2007
