America is a racist and misogynist country. Why would over 50% of the country vote for a tyrant over an experienced Black woman? America showed its true colors on November 5th, and these White men in power are emboldened to be as openly racist and as cruel as they want to be.
the really stupid part is that 50% of the country did not vote for this. trump won by a margin of 1.5% with a total of 49.9% of the vote with more of the electorate voting for Kamala or not voting at all than voting for him.
My point is that some Americans still chose to vote for him because of their racism and misogyny. That is the elephant in the room that no one wants to openly address.
no disagreement that large swaths of the electorate are irredeemably bigoted and that drove their vote.
the fact that anyone voted for him is unbelievable, but i don’t think the overt hatefulness is being overlooked considering the administration attacks on DEI, transgender people, women, etc.
i’m sorry you have been subjected to other people’s ignorance. everyone i know, including myself, is protesting, calling senators, organizing, etc. there are clearly major social and structural problems with our country, esp when a candidate with <50% of the vote can dismantle our govt in 30 days
One thing I know as a queer woman of color is that America has never liked people like me. I have always had to fight for my rights, not only within the dominant culture, but also in heteronormative spaces. I believe that some folks are beginning to understand how it feels to be oppressed.
This is why I mentioned that it’s truly up to White folks, people with the most privilege, to speak up and advocate. We have been speaking up and advocating for years, and most people did not care to listen.
The republican nazi party must defeated and ostracized permanently and white nationalist ideology must be banned otherwise this will occur again and again
Have you no shame for supporting the Republican Party? Because expanding health care and welfare reform are bad. People like you have great health care but people like me fight for healthcare
within a month his actions will negatively effect every single family in this country. maybe then they will start caring because it has to be about them.
Maybe we should have a White History Month. We could start with the Indian reservations, killing off bison, small pox, move on to fighting a war to keep owning human beings, then imprisoning the Japanese. Move on to school shooters, January 6th. So much great material.
MAGA hates anyone who isn’t “them”. Fine, Ban them from all ethnic restaurants, theaters, sporting events, libraries, schools, businesses… pretty much anywhere where there’s no guarantee of a “pure” clientele or atmosphere. Time to bring back segregation and send THEM to the back of the bus!
EXACTLY!!! The entire anti-DEI argument is predicated on the assumption that lowering standards is the only way to recruit more women, LGBTQIA or POC, directly implying that minorities can’t perform as well as white people 🙄
Where are the lawsuits for unlawful discrimination? DEI aside, these are still federally protected demographics, are they not? Those fired for clearly not being white males should sue the hell out of the government, Hegseth, Trump, and Musk.
Not like the judges will do the right thing, though.
I think those positions are the type that you serve at the pleasure of the POTUS or his cabinet-level appointees. Now, if Hegseth or Trump tries to mess with their pensions or other benefits, they *may* have grounds to sue.
An admittance of the fact that mediocre & unintelligent white men are “supposed” to have that job, in their opinion. I have never seen such an intellectually deficient group of people with Ivy League degrees in my life. The lack of emotional intelligence & just fucking intelligence is insane!
This judge is a Trump appointee, tho not one of the worst. But I don't get why these cases aren't being litigated on the threshold issue of whether a president has the authority to kill a congressionally established federal agency. Some finally are. Why not this one?
me, i'd shot that motherfucker thru the head on the way out the door and called it a great day in American history, after all it is black history month so end it with a bang
This is scared, pathetic, insecure, narrow minded, little men who have zero emotional intelligence and any type of humanity, empathy or maturity. Unfortunately supported and followed by the exact same type of people. Scary how many there are.
I think if you’re against DEI you should announce it publicly but use the full phrase “diversity, equity and inclusion” when you make your announcement. It hits a little more honest that way.
They are making women like Bondi do their dirty work for them!
She is firing other fellow women and shutting down women owned business contracts, and everything else that helps ALL women!
When the believers behind M/T/V declare that the country is rotten to the core with woke, they're justifying the literal erasure, nay extirpation, of everything that sane people regard as common decency. And we're just at the opening stages.
DEI is today’s Boogeyman/woman.
Well folks, I gotta tell ya…there’s no such thing as a DEI hire and no such thing as the Boogeyman/woman. There never was and there never will be. That’s the real HOAX !
When your financial analyst advises to "diversify your portfolio," that holds true for our society as well. Diversification gives us stability throughout society.
Yes. Let’s be clear. This attack on DEI is a vicious and racist attack on all black and brown people in America. We should all BOYCOTT all companies who cave in on this issue. We should call a national three day strike for Labor Day 2025
There are State hate laws that make this and other similar actions a crime. Why aren't States pursuing charges? Federal crimes can also be State crimes when its residents are targeted. Go after the minions and make deals with them.
And yet they don’t even know what Jesus stood for, what He preached or anything about the resurrection. I’m sure would dismiss Jesus with “I like my Saviors who didn’t die on the Cross; He must’ve been a sucker”. Fact: MAGA Christians miss the mark!
They are definitely in a cult, but I don’t see how they can call themselves Christians when they don’t even try to follow Jesus. That’s a bridge too far for them.
I wish. It is Unlikely, but we can fantasize. I wish there were a left wing propaganda machine that could propagate ideas to one-up what fox news does (eg., The biden crime family). Distasteful, but this is practically civil war.
The Trump crime family.
F-elon musk. They should be in jail.🤷🏻♀️
They don't realize, what they're doing is their own definition of DEI...keeping someone on-board solely based on race and gender even though that person is totally unqualified.
if one were to just present the resumes of the people being impacted, with no photo or knowledge of a person's skin pigmentation, gender, orientation, etc., there would be no doubt who are the unqualified people. resist.
My niece was fired from Yeti in Texas, replaced by an unqualified white guy, if fact, they fired 12 women and replaced them with good ole Texas cowpokes. I guess being a brilliant woman is Considered a DEI hire. I’m not a cancel guy but I’m not going to buy ANYTHING from Yeti. 🖕🏻
As is firing anybody on DEI grounds without performing any kind of performance review process whatsoever. The implicit assumption is that a black person or a woman cannot possibly do these jobs sufficiently.
This is the kind of bigotry that was systemic through much of American history. It never vanished. It was just waiting for a toxic Trump cultist white christofascism to unleash its malice again.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission enforces federal laws that prohibit employment discrimination against applicants, employees, and former employees. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, or sex.
And that’s why affirmative action was created in the first place: to make sure qualified minorities were given a chance when they usually were not. The idea that a mass number of unqualified people got jobs is a myth.
Not only that. The people who benefitted most wasn't Black people. It was white women. Racism is what is destroying what is left of America. It truly is beyond pathetic.
And I as a disabled Bone marrow transplant survivor who can’t get the measles vaccine due to immune suppressants.. now has to worry about the friggen measles .. they literally only care about healthy white people ..
And that’s all it is. Trump has never not been openly racist. The willful ignorance of his voter base shows how racist so many people are in the country. Everyone wants to be mad at someone cause life sucks but I think that’s just a reality we have to accept and stop taking out on each other.
Encourage your Congressperson to participate on March 4 in a SOTU WALKOUT!
Trump will be addressing a joint session of Congress and the Dems have an opportunity to show solidarity against his regime by walking out of the chamber en masse as soon as he begins to speak.
Someone was screaming DEI because 1 of the pilots on the Delta crash was a woman. Statically more pilots are white males which means if there's a crash the pilot is more apt to be a white male than either a woman or a black pilot. There are more plane crashes than what make the evening news.
I am calling for all Americans to start recalling their Senators and Representatives, if they are more beholden to Trump than they are their constituents. It is time to demand an impeachment of DJT and to arrest Musk. If they won’t do it, seat someone who will.
The drunk rapist weekend morning TV anchor fires the distinguished black four star for the statutorily unqualified three star white guy while citing the former’s focus on DEI and wokeness as cause for termination? Got it.
Yes. They only want white men. So obvious. Qualified means nothing. DEI doesn't mean unqualified. Nor does it mean only white men get the jobs. But they use this as a reason to add white men to the roster.
I fight this point with anyone who thinks white, Christian men are the deciders of who is qualified. I will not back down and I will die on this hill. As a woman, and all the women who have been discriminated against their whole working life for lesser qualified sexual harassers, don't back down!
President Trump fired the Joint Chiefs chairman, a role that traditionally remains in place as administrations change. Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., a four-star fighter pilot, was only the second African American to hold the job.
And yet there is surprise over the results of the last election? Too much of the population has been conditioned to never vote for a woman... or a person of color.
….;racism still exists and every black American I’ve spoken to has experienced it SEVERAL times in their lives. It’s real and it perpetuates the myth of white supremacy.
Funny, NOT funny story! I Tan DARK, After moving to AZ, I BASKED in the sun, took me 9months to Realize WHY I was being Stopped by Police going/returning from Work!???
#DrivingWhileBrown!!
Our car was searched upon arriving in Az, then someone called the cops on me after I was dropped off by an FAA worker with my soil samples waiting for my ride, then we were stopped and checked on our way out of Az. I saw Sheriff Joe getting his free breakfast at our hotel hassling a lady from Cal.
What I don't understand is why aren't Republican women pushing back? Wiles is chief of staff. Women hold cabinet positions. Sometimes, I think these white women are worse than the bigoted men. The levels of their betrayal (gender, equality, democracy, America, etc) are beyond comprehension.
Unfortunately, it’s worse than that: they don’t even need to presume the whit men be *”qualified”*. They just need him to be white; issue of “qualifications” doesn’t even need to come up
Imagine hating people for their skin colour and thinking you're doing something good. I feel so bad for all the people this is affecting, their livelihoods destroyed so quickly because of a bigoted felon in power.
They know trump is ruining the country, because they want to white supremacist, white nationalism, Neo-Nazi, Neo-confederate, or whatever other hate groups to dominate. Wake up people, please dear god.
I can't imagine if I was from any diverse backgrounds and serving in the military and heard this news. It is utterly disgraceful and I would imagine for many including white service people it would call to question whether i wanted to continue taking orders from scum like this.

They KNOW they can’t compete in a fair playing field. And they’re too fucking small to deal with that. They’re the lowest form of scum and slime.
In my case POC rather than woman, but it's the same bullshit:
white inadequacy hiding behind white privilege and aided and abetted by inadequate white men like Biden.
Not like the judges will do the right thing, though.

Too much stability.
Just sayin'
Both Trump and Hegseth believe Christian White Men are a superior race.
Republicans will block that forever.

Top headline of March 2025.
' Federal marshals arrest Donald Trump and Elon Musk for domestic terrorism'
The Trump crime family.
F-elon musk. They should be in jail.🤷🏻♀️
Soon.
Wish the best for the all the women!
Keep fighting.
So let's review, you will be fired if you're Black or a woman.
And you won't be hired if you're Black or a woman.
This is Trump's ides of "merit".
Trump will be addressing a joint session of Congress and the Dems have an opportunity to show solidarity against his regime by walking out of the chamber en masse as soon as he begins to speak.
"How dare he be promoted for excellence while being black!
We have to take these effing racists down, and then seal them in a cave.
They are removing us from our own —earned— American lives.
I became a lawyer, b/c as a kid, my dad said lawyers, like Thurgood Marshall, made America, treat us American.
Look at us, now.
White bigotry, grievance & entitlement has broken U.S.
#OurDiversityIsOurStrength
Impeach Traitor trump Now!
European admiration for the US is evaporating...

This will not play out well for our military services, or our nation.
We don’t hire white men that can be qualified. We hire women and a black men that are qualified.
