The Trump administration cut a clause from federal contracting rules that had been on the books since the 1960s: Companies are no longer explicitly prohibited from having segregated facilities.

But, but, nobody has ever been better for blacks than the orange racist traitor felon fascist. He said so. And they bought it. How long before he abolishes the 13th Amendment?
Maybe Elon will walk Donald through the concept of "homelands" and "townships" for black people. It worked well in South Africa for quite a while. Until it didn't.
The appalling amount of racism and stupidity showing from the Trumpy Toddler Tyrant is exhausting and humiliating. We the people should be fed up and touring in the streets!
The government fostering division among citizens, the real patriots vs others (immigrants, LGBTQ, black, women) is a hallmark of dictatorship. Nice try Trump, but we are not buying into that old playbook.
If their 💩 wouldn't contaminate everyone's water supply and make us all sick, I'd be all for this. However, they can make it so the racist toilets are inconveniently far away 😈
Im not one to argue for the admin, but the article does say that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 still makes segregated facilities illegal; so the clause didnt do anything in that regard. It is reprehensible and anti-trans however, as is also describe towards the end of the article.
I remember "for colored only" bathrooms when my family traveled through the southern states in the early 60s. Letʻs see how long before some doofus decides to segregate bathrooms.
Are you beginning to get it, America? They want us to go back to the 1940's or 1950's, where we were an openly racist and misogynistic country. Also, they want to take away any rights the LGBTQ community has attained and send all immigrants to their home country. Fight back.
Every hour there is some new horror or atrocity from this administration. It's gone so far beyond comprehension how the checks and balances of power in the US have failed. Literally the only way to stop further destruction of democracy is him not being alive anymore. It's terrifying whats happening.
Not that our current dictator will abide by it, but it seems it’s loooong past time we started the process of ratifying a new set of “Bill of Rights,” a new amendment to the US Constitution.
This would bind the hands of a corrupt and compromised Supreme Court as well. Or at least attempt to.
They are 100% going to try but I think they know that’ll be more of a battle, so they’re testing the waters with all these EOs first. If those are not challenged successfully they will move on to repealing actual laws 😭
OK People Here WE Go!!! 👇🏽👇🏼👇
Poor MAGAs, will eventually be effected in some ways, either by Violations of Laws or Cuts directly, or when loved ones are.
I'd venture to say, they would be Immediately cured of their "Stockholm Syndrome"!
Just ⚖️ sayin' 🇺🇸
Any other time, I’d say we are at least past that. But with Trump bring back so much of the last century, I’m not comfortable cleaning out the old rules. I do wish someone had thought to repeal or reform the Alien Enemies Act after we interred Japanese Americans.
Thanks, DEI Hire💙
@gbsdaughter.bsky.social for the great content you curate. You're a good one to follow and I appreciate the time you put in to inform us.💐👍❤️
Not sure this is about race this time around. I bet he’s gonna try to segregate by American versus non-American. Everything he has been doing and saying points in this direction.
That’s truly horrible that your life experiences have had such an impact. Trump is a vile creature, and I simply wanted to point to an alternative. Religious and national origin have been used in the US in the past as well. No offense intended
It's hard to describe the emotions this all brings up in me. So many very profound feelings of sadness, anger, fear, disgust. And I'm a white, cisgender woman of nearly 71 years old. But - I haven't lost all hope. Yet. I believe in compassion for all others. And will continue to practice that.
I can't believe I'm still protesting this crap! So Sad So Mad. Know our states voting laws. Republicans are master's at voter suppression and gerrymandering and now Students. This is Illegal, Despicable and Frightening. We Will continue to fight against this authoritarianism. Persistence! 💙✌️
Maliciously comply. Have “able bodied white men only” signs put up all over the place directing them to the farthest bathrooms, drinking fountains, cafeterias (or “not allowed” in those).
This is beyond the scope of reality and they need to learn where they stand.
I'm not clear on how this works. Contractors can put up signs etc. announcing that facilities are segregated (hateful enough in itself), but can they take measures against people who ignore those signs?
The article is very clearly explaining how Musk and Musk supporters are trying to change the meaning of a Nazi salute so that they can normalise it. I know it’s trendy to just rage at the media these days but this… this ain’t it.
Anyone who voted for Trump is racist as fuck. I don’t care how nice they are to people around them, they’re terrible people who should suffer horribly for bringing this racist fascism onto us.
This is a clear showing that his priorities lie with hate. Not our safety, justice, or utility. Purly hate. He's an idiot & we deserve better from leaders.

Look at the mad hatter he has implementing his policy, an apartheid profiteer.
This racist regime is setting us back to an awful pre civil rights era in U.S. history.
This is what those animals meant by making America "great again” 🤬

Elon Musk was a favored son of apartheid who hates the black South African govt.
Donald Trump is the favored grandson of the KKK & kept a copy of Hitler’s speeches on his bedside table.
That these MAGAfuckers would usher in the New Jim Crow is no surprise.

In which Martin Luther King Jr. was never born.
I will never forgive any eligible US voter who voted for Trump, voted third party, or failed to vote at all.
A plague on all your houses.

What next. White hoods in the Oval Office? Trump reveals himself to be a Grand Wizard of the Klu Klux Klan?
Enough is enough.

“Segregation In The South”

Apartheid (institutionalized

An asshole so big everyone can f**k it! 💀
I’ll dye myself purple and use them too.
This is beyond the scope of reality and they need to learn where they stand.
Racism at its finest.
Yet another sad day for America as we take additional steps backward.
NPR is garbage
Here's an example - Lisa Hagen's piece "You thought you saw a Nazi Salute but it's actually a goofy joke"
