Good luck with that Martin.

Ignorance is weakness.

Martin is WEAK!

We've been thrust into a full-blown culture war with our own president and his henchmen.

They see us as the enemy, and there's a giant target on our backs.

And they don't care that we know it.

blessedbygracek.bsky.social•3 days ago

So we Americans should not want to work for anyone who doesn't support dei

lexalexander.bsky.social•3 days ago

He's gunning for a much higher position than U.S. attorney, and under Trump he's doing exactly what he needs to do to get it.

joeinkm.bsky.social•3 days ago

No one is getting hired by the government anyways...

vatruthteller.bsky.social•3 days ago

I wonder what he considers unreliable.

No decent lawyer should want to work for a corrupted DOJ anyway.

I may believe many different things than Jesuits but I’ve long since learned to have a deep respect for them. I can’t see this letter going over well with them and I fully believe their beliefs are quite the opposite and quite firm. I’m sure this will be a good class example for years.

ctrltxquilting.bsky.social•3 days ago

So Ed Martin is basically saying that he would not hire anyone who is diverse. Sounds rather racist, but people doing business with his office will know it.

loloatlarge.bsky.social•3 days ago

😮

oceangirl.bsky.social•3 days ago

Well tbh I doubt anyone graduating from Georgetown Law would want to work for Ed Martin

Who would want to work for an agency headed by Ed Martin?

olgasixta.bsky.social•3 days ago

The loss of thinking, out of the box, seeing in color instead of white.
That is the fear of taking DEI (diversity)

bsmiley05.bsky.social•3 days ago

As if those grads would want to put their career at risk by working for him...

badmamajama.bsky.social•3 days ago

So much for hiring based on “merit “ 😂

robinmkr.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ok so he's basically asserting the DOJ will only hire mediocre lawyers. Let's see how that works out for them in court. Cutting off your nose to spite your face, Eddy.

bitchinpost.bsky.social•3 days ago

That’s ok, most of us don’t want to attend any institution that DOESN’T use DEI!

It really feels good to give a local mom and pop business, your spending dollars.

BEZOS only sees us as $💸💰💶💷💴🤑💵.

A small business will likely remember you for boosting them when they needed it most.

johnnynovio.bsky.social•3 days ago

Martin is not a smart man, Georgetown Law School has produced thousands of loyal alumni attorneys that are better than any of the loyalist attorneys that Martin has or wants to bring in.

Martin's DOJ will have to start getting used to the sting of losing court cases.

mactheraptor.bsky.social•3 days ago

GHACK! Another power grab of liberty & justice for all.

mira-sorrel.bsky.social•3 days ago

Let's be clear, Trump and his henchmen don't want to hire qualified candidates, they have done everything they could to make sure to staff government agencies with people completely unqualified for the positions. Not hiring Georgetown graduates should be a badge of honor for Georgetown university.

vieuxquelquechose.bsky.social•3 days ago

It's perfectly normal if you are part of an authoritarian regime.

So now that department will hire sub-par 'lawyers' which weaves right in with their lawful ways.

grumpydoc19.bsky.social•3 days ago

Georgetown grads will be looked at with suspicion by their government. Prospective candidates will be quizzed about their adherence to the social justice teachings of the popes, and disqualified if they accept those teachings.

larosalaw.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'm unclear about how anti- DEI is not discriminatory or at least 1st Amendment violative.

It’s a slow transition with slow increase in time spent with parents involvement But it’s absolutely necessary for psychosocial development to keep pace. Babies to toddlers are radically under stimulated and many are not interacted with in a meaningful way

Please tell me the Dean told Martin to go fuck himself and make me believe it.

skwidj.bsky.social•3 days ago

Men's hysteria about women is not new.

They created religion to elevate themselves above women: Every god entrusts the nurturance of life to women, yet every religion honors men over them.

And "declaring women unfit to play baseball" 👇seems more than a bit 'over the top' ➡️ aka hysteria.

radiogirl1071.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ed Martin really thinks his poop doesn’t smell. Sorry pal, it does and your dirty just like the rest of your fellow cultists.

elaineraleigh99.bsky.social•3 days ago

Nice way to tell the world "I'm a huge bigot, don't apply here". Which will mean something for the five minutes your average Trump appointee remains in their position.

caledoni4.bsky.social•3 days ago

I expect there will be fewer lawyers WANTING to work for a firm that doesn’t recognise DEI

strengthandpower.bsky.social•3 days ago

I don’t think the Jesuits would want their students to work there under those circumstances

esoap524.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ah, it could also be a religious freedom issue. Part of the Ignatian values are social justice and love. This included seeking justice for all, especially the poor and marginalized.

strengthandpower.bsky.social•3 days ago

The Jesuits are many things but I don’t believe conformity is one of them.

I’m thought there was a hiring freeze?

mathewforesta.bsky.social•3 days ago

He does not define DEI so I assume he means he just won't hire anyone non-white or who went to a school that doesn't teach from a 1920's textbook.

He says that as if working for this DOJ is a worthwhile aspiration for the school to hold for its students.

desertpup.bsky.social•3 days ago

Last I checked, working for the DOJ currently comes with the threat of being ordered to break the law by your boss or be fired. I don't think this letter is the power play he thinks it is.

@katiephang.bsky.social, Ed Martin is get’n in formation w/the DJT/Musk white nationalist agenda.

I can't read this, but I really wish the media would report on Ed's history further back. When he worked for Gov Matt Blunt. The media tends to stop at the Eagle Forum mess. We never got the full story back in 2009 regarding Blunt's abrupt decision not to run for governor again.

I wasn't that scared about dei until I found out that the schools on the army post I used to be stationed at were pulling all the civil war books, suffrage movement books and the civil rights/any reference to Rosa parks or mlk books. To remove dei. Literally whitewashing history. Fml.

lvprofessor.bsky.social•3 days ago

Isn't Georgetown a private university?

esoap524.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes, private, Catholic, run by Jesuits who tend to be more socially active than other orders. My son went a Jesuit elementary and high school. Very much open to learning, teaching social justice and opening your eyes to people who aren’t like you. Not sure if this has changed since he graduated

lvprofessor.bsky.social•3 days ago

I believe the Jesuit tradition has always been to be "men and women for others" and to show respect for people and their differences. Hoping that Georgetown responds accordingly.

esoap524.bsky.social•3 days ago

You are correct. I hope Georgetown does the right thing, otherwise their beliefs are meaningless
