Exposing the Divide: UNC’s New Definition of DEI
Why DIE instead of DEI? UNC-Chapel Hill challenges traditional views with a new perspective on Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity.
Nominations for Worst Prime Minister Ever

Loss of meaning
Flying the flag at half-mast has become meaningless.
Shame on us. We have lost a signal of respect and regret that had significant meaning—shame on us for electing and tolerating such nonsense.

I alternate between despair and hope. Despair because of public acceptance of government encroachments on our freedoms; we are slipping towards a new ‘Dark Age’ where we will be oppressed and subject to faceless government workers.
