Major corporations, including Mastercard, Meta, and Coca-Cola, are quietly sponsoring a Canadian conference headlined by Christopher Rufo, a far-right activist and crusader against diversity initiatives. Many of these same companies, however, champion diversity in their public communications.

Alex Henderson points to a recent report by Sophia Cai showing how Trump's supporters – Elon Musk is at the head of her list – are helping him push his grievances while he's tied up by his trial.

And that makes the New York Times' normalization and assistance of Musk all the more reprehensible.

Jamison Foser reports that the New York Times, "a right-wing newsletter," is using the same playbook it ran last year with Christopher Rufo and Elise Stefanik against Claudine Gay. They're now using it with Rufo and Elon Musk to go after NPR's new CEO Katherine Maher.

Because this is what right-wing newspapers do: they normalize and assist the Rufos, Stefaniks, and Musks as they mount their right-wing attacks.

In a development that could not possibly have been predicted*, the man who led the charge to oust Claudine Gay from Harvard's presidency, #ChristopherRufo, has now† been shown to be an unapologetic #racist.

In the wake of this startling discovery, people are wondering: could there be a connection between his #racism and his targeting of a Black woman?🤔

Who can say?

"The true goal of bomb-throwers like Chris Rufo or the amorally ambitious Rep. Elise Stefanik is preventing what right wingers see as the rot of diversity, and real learning about American democracy on campuses like LSU or West Virginia University or Youngstown State. These schools educate far more students than the Ivy League (just 0.4% of all collegians)…."

"A lot of people are talking about plagiarism and academic integrity right now, who weren’t talking about it as much or in the same way as they were when for example Neil Gorsuch, who will soon decide if an insurrectionist fascist can appear on presidential ballots, was being considered for the Supreme Court."
