They are pissed because it doesn’t protect white men under 40, you know the ones that for 250 years got jobs because of their skin color and not their qualifications
Why would we ever think that someone who made fun of person with a disability is going to give a damn about them. Give a damn about veterans, pregnant moms to be or anyone out there other than the rich. We need to do is get serious about the midterm elections. And fight like hell!
You are complicit in the crime that YOUR SECRET SERVICE IS GOING INTO ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS TO STEAL ARREST THE CHILDREN!!!!😡😡😡😡
STEAL/ARREST THE CHILDREN!!!
WHERE THE FUCK IS YOUR RAGE??!!
You waiting till they come for U, is that when your rage kicks in??😡
The key to all that and I speak as a disabled person is...they don't care. They think we are costly and expendable. Disabled people in this country are looked down on by the vast majority of Americans. Not all. But most.
Tbh, there is no such thing as DEI. That's just what they call civil rights. All the people you describe don't need a special handout. They're doing their thing, same as everyone else. They have the right to live & do their thing. The GOP is trying to call civil rights a DEI handout & take them away
They don't care, their whole existence revolves around hating black people and anyone black people adjacent. 'Woke' is maga-speak for 'n****'. Every time they say woke they are screaming n***** lover.
I left the field of Developmental Disability services years ago because conservatives swooped in and destroyed the infrastructure. Worse, they did it with honeyed lies and false promises the State knew weren't true. Just stole their vocational services. We've lost 20 plus years of progress.
[Controversial opinion warning] Right but they were able to do all that BEFORE corporations gave it a label and called it DEI which created a lightening rod for Rightists to go and attack it when it wasn't under attack before. Stop making stupid slogans and labels like "white privilege" and "woke"
Hey Dem Sen's and Rep's, with all the crap that the GOP side is pulling why are you not doing ANYTHING? LETTING this happen while you send out scary emails DEMANDING money to fight makes you no better than them. How about this, do your job, then we'll decide if your efforts need to be rewarded.
His Republican followers behind and infront off the TV Camera saw no fault in trumpies antics.
When the Time comes and it will. They will be told to hand up their Down Syndrome babies to their Disabled children and relatives.
Ceaușescu Romania convinced his population.

A friend of mine will soon find out. She has a Down syndrome teenage boy. She believes that Creamsicle Caligula will help her with him. He is 15. Soon he will be in the unkind world. 🇪🇺🇺🇦🌻
Think about this as you go through your day over the next few weeks.
We are at war with a criminal. Don't let him win.

Yeah, just saw a clip from Stacey Abrams, talking about how it extended public education to poor & rural areas... chiding some of the rural Senators (unnamed) getting their free public school education courtesy of DEI.
There's not a single group here that Republicans don't hate. They don't measure Trumps success by what he does for them, but by how well he hurts these groups and more. Hate is the entire point. Cruelty for cruelties sake. Maga would laugh their asses off watching all these people die.
why have we started calling affirmative action DEI? It just seems like a Republican “buzzword” with no real meaning left. It now exists to scapegoat and finger point at minorities. I’m not saying it was always as such but the abbreviation has been reappropriated by the GOP as a racist dog whistle.
That's what you get from people who don't care about anyone else but themselves. They're in for a rude awakening when they find out God won't care for them when they don't care for his creation. They'll be lost in the wilderness when they die.
When Target announced their presurrender by cancelling their DEI program, they publicly admitted that one of the purposes of the program had been to promote the growth of black staff into management roles. By ending the program they're saying they don't want black people in management roles.
We need to start our own businesses and only hire women, the disabled, and minorities. No white men allowed unless they're part of the LGBTQIA community and can prove it.
Exactly! The agenda of Project 2O25 is to exultate the straight white christian man as the head of the house, the head of the church, the head of the government ($Trump.)
And they believe that the world would be better off if they all died. That's real Christianity.
Ghandi said, "I like your Christ. I don't like your Christians.
unfortunately some do... and they are despicable and inhumane enough want all of those people removed from existence, or st least anywhere they are... Pure Scum.
🤬🤬
It also includes women. If you're a woman. It includes you. Yeah... I'm looking at you ladies. Oh, you should also not be discriminated on according to your age, but I guess I'm just being idealistic.
The Trump things won't care about DEI. That is, until the reality of its removal hits them and their families personally, at home, in the heart, and the wallet. Then, we will hear their howls of dismay.
Oh they know that part, & are more than happy to kick those groups.
The part they (intentionally) don't get is where if 2 applicants TIE/DRAW/ARE EQUAL in an interview than the job should be given to a DEI pick. They HATE that & want to rewrite so that it goes to the white male, even if not a tie!
The funniest thing is the largest recipients of DEI are white women, who I'm sure a good number were trumpers. Wait till they get a load of this. "But, but, I thought it was only for the brown people!!"
having ethnicity as a component of dei hires is a necessity and an important part of inclusiveness. Never make excuses that it’s part of it. Argue that there are more than enough qualified dei for positions that otherwise don’t get the same opportunity
Eh yeah but it shouldn’t matter. They shouldn’t need to know it effects someone they might like to be against it cause them they’re still just a bigot.
And it allows people who want to work and support themselves an opportunity to do so. Isn’t that what “right to work” programs in red states are all about? No sense of irony!
The fact that so many people don’t care unless one of the categories fits them or one they care about, is sickening. One should care about all groups, because we are all human.
All they heard was that it involves people of color and they ran with it because they can't stand the idea of a person of color being better at something than them.
Thanks, I’m disabled. I had my right leg amputated below the knee been in the wheelchair for 18 years!
I know the Nazis want me dead!
Take my Healthcare away take everything away!
I don’t want to take your healthcare away. I don’t want anyone to lose their care teams or prescriptions or mobility devices or upcoming surgeries, etc.
The backslide in disability rights has my ass hairs singed.
Do you have a local support system outside healthcare?
All those categories are so much more preferable than having to hire a white supremacist dude who’ll probably have a bad attitude and try to kill you when you finally fire him
We fired a guy like this last year for falling asleep on the job too many times, & the few days after our security guards came in w/concealed weapons just in case.
We all expected him to retaliate; thankfully he did not.
Sorry but Republicans and many "Christians" believe all those things happen bc of individual's poor choices OR that they simply didn't pray hard enough and it's God's will. You can't rationalize or negotiate w people who think like that.
They don't argue rationally anyway. It's a series of denials of obvious reality, moving the goalposts, changing the meaning of words, and outright lies. When you pin them down on a fact, they grin and tell you it doesn't matter anyway, and doesn't change a thing. The GOP are monsters. Traitors.
America has NEVER been a free (for everyone) country or the land of opportunity (for everyone). It also has NEVER been the greatest country (for everyone). Trump has just shoved everything you think you are right in your face.
DEI is a 3 year old EO, which was just a "plea" to be more inclusive, especially of historically marginalized people. Same as Affirmative Action. The only "law" is the equal rights law of 1965 which says you can't discriminate for opportunities based on race, sex, religion, ethnicity alone.
Unfortunately the only example on that list conservatives will even pretend they care about at this point is the vet one. They don't care about autistic people, old people, women, or anyone that isn't a fully physically and mentally capable white male. And even vets aren't a priority beyond points
I know that certain idiot don't know what it means or entails...but what is worse is the ones that DO know what it entails and lies about it, demonizes it, and gets others to fear and hate it that gets me boiling.
It's about compassion and caring for your community which apparently has zero place in Project 2025. 2/3's of the executive orders in the first week were right out of this document. It's happening folks...
I’m a woman and when I was in college in the 1980’s a boy asked me how it felt to be there because of quotas. He believed that every woman at University was only there because the school was forced to take in a percentage of women. I said quotas work both ways. Remember DEI also means women.
It also includes making sure the people at the bank or the courthouse or doctor's office aren't all from the same ivy league school or the same country club or any country club at all. Don't you want people around you who know what it's like to struggle or get laid off?
Sadly, some do know this. But they have the typical fascist view of disabled ppl,which I think we're all familiar with, and Hillbilly Himmler wants all the womenfolk, especially the pregnant ones, at home for his whole Lebensborn thing.
trashing dei is a way of returning to white privilege so the white losers get to the head of the line where they were before competence was taken into account and all americans were included not just the white ignoramuses.
and we all lose. We get an incompetent person just b/c they're white (and maybe know the boss) rather than someone who might have more melanin, less penis, needs a wheelchair ramp, etc. who COULD blow them off the charts if it really WAS merit-based.
It doesn't take much to notice people, especially if you see them on the regular.
Kindness, and telling those that help you, thank you, goes a long way. What a smile takes is nothing but moving a few muscles in your face. Try it, your complexion and frown lines just might disappear
What scares me is the whole point of them doing this is to transfer power to white men. But, they sold themselves and the rest of the country to AI via the broligarchs. When are we going to stand up together and fight this?
Nazi’s euthanized disabled people. Trump can’t even stomach looking at a disabled vet. They know damn well DEI impacts the disabled, pregnant people, and vets. Check out the language in this EO about the FAA - they want us out.
I work in Special Ed at a public school. DEI is actually DEIA.....with the A representing "accessibility." So, all the special needs kids are essentially garbage in the new administration's eyes!!! Disgusting!!!
He also shouldn’t have to be to have his job. He could be a totally average quality worker and still “deserve” a job and respect. Disabled people don’t need to be perfect either
It's also about giving people from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds a more even playing field for education and careers regardless of ethnicity. DEI is the only reason I got to go to college when neither of my parents did.
But “equity” implies that some people have been marginalized, and that would mean that some people were responsible for said marginalization. And if we bring that to their attention, it might make them feel bad about themselves and we do not want non-marginalized people to feel bad {sarcasm}
At this point, they’ll be digging holes and stuffing them with “undesirables” and people will still be clucking about “do they even know how mean they’re being?”
They know exactly what they’re doing, and are glad to be doing it.
Technically, studying DEI data would also catch incidents of, say, White dudes being underpaid in a particular department somewhere. But I don't think they can fathom being in that kind of position.
Exactly. They all keep saying stuff like "DEI causes discrimination," and the media is just going "Yup. Here's a thing that was said. Not gonna challenge it."
If DEI actually saves companies more money than they’re spending to educate their work place and promote respect amongst co workers; then why are you ending it? Not just ending it being rude about ending it.
That’s been something I’ve been struggling to digest. A truth I really don’t want to see
My family thought I was being silly for reading up on Christian dominionism, the Heritage Foundation, the Seven Mountains Mandate, etc., because to them it sounded no different from me being into "The X-Files" when I was younger.
I wish knowing about things in advance made me feel less scared.
Huge amounts of them are on disability, Medicaid and SNAP/WIC - and they’re too clueless to realize following their dear leader is to their own detriment 🤯🤦🏻♀️
One thing about Republicans, they're way more effective at messaging than Democrats. Once "DEI" became code for unqualified minorities, it was just what they needed rally their base and get them angry enough to get out to the polls.

They don't care about DEI because they don't need it.
I’d say there’s plenty of evidence in his conduct and policies to support that thesis.
When the Time comes and it will. They will be told to hand up their Down Syndrome babies to their Disabled children and relatives.

Quite often, VETERANS are actual DEI hires.
How does THAT grab you, magas?
Think of it this way: veterans include minorities. MAGA despises minorities.
MAGA's support of the U.S. military is only in furtherance of dominating non-white countries.
They would invade Mexico with minority prisoner conscripts.
We all expected him to retaliate; thankfully he did not.
Some companies/institutions need a little kick in the *ss just for that measly step forward.
But then equal (better) opportunity employers
should be singeld out
and consumers can then
flock to them.
That's how you beat the a-holes.

DEI is actually business friendly. It saves companies massive money on employee turn around.
So what exactly is the reason you would want to scrap it if you’re the GOP?
Given the data, it has to be bonified, no holds bar hate. Nazi, satanic hate.
Kindness, and telling those that help you, thank you, goes a long way. What a smile takes is nothing but moving a few muscles in your face. Try it, your complexion and frown lines just might disappear
Unfortunately, magafolk are willing to hurt all of those people so long as black and brown folks also get hurt.
#DrainedPoolPolitics
They want those people kept out of sight, out of mind, or crushed beneath the boot of capitalism.
DEI gives those people a chance to get away from being ground to grist, and they cannot abide by anything such as that.
After Trumps attack on the Bishop last week im starting to think maybe that’s why they missed it in training?
He sure wouldn’t look at me.
I had one leg amputated below the knee!
He wants to kill me, and all of the people like me!
At this point, they’ll be digging holes and stuffing them with “undesirables” and people will still be clucking about “do they even know how mean they’re being?”
They know exactly what they’re doing, and are glad to be doing it.
I’m pretty angry at the media knowing this and letting the Rush Limbaugh, Elon Musks of the right run with Trumps absurd reasons for ending it.
The numbers actually prove DEI saves companies money on employee turn over.
That’s been something I’ve been struggling to digest. A truth I really don’t want to see
