Rep. Ritchie TorresRon DeSantis blames the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, and by extension Signature Bank, on DEI.
When you reduce all of the world’s challenges to one thing, namely wokeness, it spares you the burden of thinking critically.
Ray Gulick, he/him/wtf 🇺🇦 ❌👑Or from the burden of thinking at all...
cowvin@RitchieTorres This is precisely why Republicans are against teaching critical thinking in school.
Texas GOP rejects ‘critical thinking’ skills. Really.
In the you-can’t-make-up-this-stuff department, the Republican Party of Texas wrote in its 2012 platform that itopposes the teaching of “higher order thinking skills” because it believes the purpose is to challenge a student’s “fixed beliefs” and undermine “parental authority.”
MarcusCSC@cowvin @RitchieTorres teaching kids to think both ways makes a kids range of thinking broader and benefits society as a whole; as we get better soldiers,sailors, tinkers, tailors m, craftsman, engineers, teachers etc etc
@RitchieTorres Scapegoats are just awesome! they can be blamed for everything!

I remain convinced that Ron DeSantis has more than 24 hours in a day. How else could he fit in all of his awful words and hateful policy making? How can he possibly have enough time for the incredible amount of harm he is causing??

David Lohr@RuthZ @RitchieTorres Precisely. I believe all the school board members the Friends of Ron supported will back up the claim. At least the Gorton Fisherman knows how silly white boots would look next to Neptune. There are bots right now working overtime on This Meatball who wants to hold the National Trident.

So he is against hiring people who are different. Fox News must be woke, their who staff is diverse! The RNC wants to be woke, they are trying to reach out to other minorities!

3wombats@RitchieTorres Get him to explain exactly what he means by wokeness
Erin ConroyDavid Sacks - Peter Thiel & Elon Musk's buddy who spent the last several days begging for federal protection of SVB - has spent his life spreading rape culture (with his friend Rabois) & hostility to racial equality, and has spent the last few years funding Ron DeSantis & trying to give Ukraine away to Putin.
Maybe people should pay closer attention to what is going on here w/him & Thiel & Musk & SVB & the GOP.

paulwhen you are a nazi every problem is diversity, equity and inclusion.
“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition …There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
@amiserabilist @RitchieTorres unless it’s conscription
Albatrossity@RitchieTorres And if the solution to everything is always tax cuts, you don't have to think about that stuff either!
kwh@RitchieTorres it’s a pretty big rhetorical stretch from “the Silicon Valley Bank gave loans to orphanages and puppy dogs and kittens and therefore needs a full bailout” to “they failed because they were too woke” but you can do it if you limber up
@RitchieTorres it a lot easier to blame others than your cohorts
Nicole ParsonsGOP billionaire donors fund messaging about "woke mind virus" for a reason.
Elites always seek convenient scapegoats for political & economic expediency.
Equality under the law means GOP donors lose elections.
Reading history means GOP donors lose their wage & voter suppression tactics.
Realizing the impact of oil means GOP donors lose their climate denialism disinformation narratives.
Realizing the effects of a corrupt SCOTUS means GOP donors lose their pink tax on women.
MJ Muse@RitchieTorres wtf is dei? MAGAextremistRepublicans think the American people even know what that is
