You cannot litigate your way to cultural dominance. Repressive regimes always fail eventually.

seems right out of the S Miller playbook. Find an "aggrieved" white male who didn't get a job at a company and blames DEI so you have standing then sue for discrimination etc.

Corp lawyers are going to be very busy.

Special elections in Florida April 1st to replace Republican representatives appointed to the administration! Democrats have a chance to flip the house!! Spread the word!!!

The goal is to force Black people out of higher education and white collar careers

Reads to me like they’re just doing extortion

Seems like a First Amendment case for the companies. The 1964 Civil Rights Act still stands and educating people on their rights under that law isn't a fucking crime.

Going after corporations, non-profits, foundations and colleges for DEI policy. 😯😯

They're already forcing these private entities to remove the banned words from their websites.

Can't talk about diversity or inclusion at all anymore or face the wrath of the Trumpstapo.

This seems like a great way to run the DOJ. “Hey guys! You got anyone you feel like having us prosecute? Let us know in the chat below!”

We got a quota of 9 to meet people - hit the phones.

What's so "funny" is that the administration also said that the number of whites, or men, or whatever IS NOT a basis to prove discrimination under EEO. What measure would they use to say you discriminated against the white men?

turningphrases.bsky.social•16 days ago

Do you see a Black person?

Do you see a woman?

They are DiScRiMiNaTiNg against white men!
