The Bureau of Land Management wants its initials back.

Black Land Managers?

Bureau of Lives Matter?  That actually sounds like something a leftist would want.

They're tasked with deciding whose lives matter.

Reason has a better article, which while more accurately reporting what happened, also magnifies how stupid it is.

If the fascists responded to reason, one might point out that the U.S. military is an acronym farm like no other - and it was an early adopter of racial integration.

But they don't care about alternative facts.

I had no idea that only white people are brought up learning English as a first language.

Out of interest, are foreign acronyms racist too?

I gave up on that ["acronym"] fight many moons ago. It was like ice skating uphill.

I have too, but it's still fun to throw darts now and then when a juicy opportunity arises.
