Trump is using "DEI" as an excuse to destroy everyone who doesn't look like him.

Please read + share:

"In the emotive battle against the ‘disease of wokeness’, Trump's an inspiration to far-right wannabies who crave the same despotic power. If Reform wins the next general election, the cruel madness of Trumpworld could take root here."

Why do RW politicians think it is ok to disenfranchise black and brown skinned peoples

Could? Will. All those far-right partys spring from the same source as MAGA (w/o peddling conspiracies I think that's the kremlin).

Really wish we would just call it what it is: Racism and sexual discrimination, in other words hate.

Letting Trump get away with labelling the firings as DEI, is disingenuous.

The National Portrait Gallery? What's his plan??? To take down all portraits of Obama & Hillary? And put up only the orange gibbon mugshots?

People and media need to continuously explain what DEI really is and who benefits. trump and his followers just assume it's minorities getting freebies from the govt or POC usurped them when denied a job. For maga, all about racism/sexism.

Now that is a perfect comment. Kudos.

Maybe the delusional prez hates his own ancestry--just 3 generations ago, his grandfather escaped the German draft.

The fact that anyone not a white straight male is automatically called a DEI hire because it’s assumed they couldn’t possibly have earned and deserved their position…tells us all why we need DEI programs.

“Not enough Rococo!”

This all feels like the last gasp of a ruling party that knows their time is over and they are desperate to turn back the clock.

jonmcl.bsky.social•4 days ago

Except they seem to be doing well for a part whose time is over.

2heartswellness.bsky.social•4 days ago

Well, with that last gasp they are dragging us all down with them, so...

When is Chuck Schumer going to step aside and let someone who wants to lead and who can take the reins?

When will people like @jasmineforus.bsky.social be given the leadership positions they want?

voyagerrr.bsky.social•4 days ago

Or one that never thinks they’re relinquishing power.

Implied by MAGA.
America was great when only white land owning men could vote
Women couldn't hold bank accounts
You could schedule a party to torture and eventually murder someone for not being white, rich or compliant enough.

Yes, but they hold the power positions in government and support of the ignorant/misinformed while there is a huge amount of disinterested in our population who could make a difference. Bad combination for the moment.
