So a bigtime Republican donor took control of the "Ruth Bader Ginsburg Women’s Leadership Award," removed "Women's" from the award name, and granted the award to Elon Musk, Rupert Murdoch, and Michael Milken?
The Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Leadership Award was created to honor women who have created positive change in society. RBG's family says this year's change in selection criteria betrays her legacy.

RBG's legacy turns out to be the empowerment of terrible people? Seems a little on the nose TBH.
@medusaswink.bsky.social Sylvester Stallone is getting the RBG award for exceptional female while being male.
The men receiving it are schmucks, but anyone with any sense of honor would refuse the award.
The extremely on-brand part is that this happened, RBG lost control of her legacy, because she placed her faith in institutions controlled by rich right-wing assholes who were friendly with her personally but were still rich right-wing assholes.
So will the dingus of glass or plastic be binned, hidden, or displayed in a case marked irony by the recipients? Seems a bit much to call them honorees.
I almost wish I were the kind of person who said thing like “based” and “baller move” bc
Gonna create a Ronald Reagan Excellence in Presidenting Award and give it to Evo Morales and Luiz Lula da Silva.
if it's an award for "people who should have given up years ago rather than carrying on and destroying their reputation" this seems about right?
Very high effort trolling
