Harmeet isn't just pulling up DEI ladder up so fast other women & people of color are prevented from taking good jobs. She has used ALL her Pickme energy to whack 100's of thousands of women/POC OFF DEI ladder so they & their families would suffer undeserved poverty & hardship in a land of plenty.

Politics isn't a thing anymore.
Being a Liberal means 21st century
Being a Moderate means 20th century
Being a MAGA (fka GOP) means 19th century and earlier
Sorry, Politico, she's not fighting "woke", she's fighting progress.

And the cowards include our supposed “legacy” media.

What’s their “legacy”? Lie for their GOP broligarch masters while they help America burn?

I lived in San Francisco for 20 years. For most of that time she was head of the SF Republican Party and everyone knew she was a joke. She had the job because no one else wanted it and she was one of the 12 Rs in SF.

Fighting Woke is another way of saying you're fighting democracy, fairness, and often basic human decency.
I think we've all seen where the so called war on woke was headed towards, this place right here, tyranny.

How about we start singling out journalists by name instead of letting them hide behind their papers & the billionaires who own them? They have a choice to do what they do & write what they write.

I find it interesting that you think the American media EVER felt a responsibility to protect democracy. After decades of propaganda, whitewashing and cherry picking facts while pretending they’re informing the nation, isn’t it clear it’s only ever been a cynical money and power pursuit?

According to Bloomberg, Dhillon's net worth - EXCLUDING earnings from her law firm - is somewhere north of 11 million dollars. If that makes her a 'plucky outsider,' I'd sure as hell like a sh*tload more 'pluck' in MY bank account, too.

There are lots of things people don’t know that they should be aware of. The 4th estate (the press) is missing in action, and because they don’t have truthful information, the fifth pillar of democracy (the people) are struggling to be heard over the oligarchs cash registers.

“You will obey me while I lead you

And eat the garbage that I feed you

Until the day that we don't need you

Don't go for help, no one will heed you

Your mind is totally controlled

It has been stuffed into my mold

And you will do as you are told

Until the rights to you are sold”

Well ok, but when did Conservative 'values' become 'take the money from the people and give it to corporations. And into our own bank accts'

Conservative, to me, today, simply means 'deception/thief'.

Yep. Harmeet has been a bigoted extremist for years and has benefited from a lot of wealthy bigots in the Republican party.

"Plucky" huh. Don't let people fool you who describe themselves as conservatives outnumbered and smothered by a vast majority of Bad Leftists.

Being a contrarian to normal sensibilities is these peoples' BRAND. It has nothing to do with their heartfelt beliefs. It's POSITIONING. Grabbing the space.

Wow what a piece of shit she is. Woke is just empathetic and fairness and justice focused. To be anti woke is to be pro privilege, pro inequality, and to excuse and support crime as long as it is perpetrated by the “right” people against the “wrong” (poor, non-white, foreigner) people.

Worst kind.

The idea that the "legacy media" is responsible to protect democracy is really a myth. The Constitution protects the "freedom of the press" not the other way around. Much of the press/media has been in the bag for special interests from the earliest days of our country. Today is no different.

"The idea that the 'legacy media' is responsible to protect democracy is really a myth."

"Responsible" is doing heavy lifting here.

In the early '70s the government WAS the crime; the vaunted commonfolk (the voters) loved Nixon to death.

The Fourth Estate literally singlehandedly saved America.

They are afraid of losing their jobs. What the hell do they think is going to happen if he succeeds. Not only won’t they have jobs but they will be put in detention centers. Not overcoming fear is the worst form of surrender.

Legacy media is owned by billionaires, fascists who have their own definitions they peddle as the truth. The men + women at the top of the news organizations, the people we trust to report the truth, caved to the billionaires demands because money + white solidarity. They are all derelict of duty.

It's intellectual failure, as well. They no longer report as a free press in a liberal western democracy. Their reporting, across the board, comes from whatever level of fascism we've descended to. The press has variable ethics, morality, and responsibility. Which is sad.

BS. Good old Harmeet is MAGA GOP, through and through. Nothing to “admire” and her “values” suck!
“To the legacy media, Harmeet Dhillon has spent her career as an underdog — bravely swimming against the liberal tide to stand up for her values, no matter the consequences…”

“…In a largely admiring profile, Politico explains that Dhillon — the Department of Justice (DOJ) Civil Rights division chief who’s reported to be in line for a promotion — has a “personal familiarity” with what she calls “woke ideology,” as a San Francisco Republican “vastly outnumbered by Dems.”
