Got itâthanks for clarifying.
I agree that Fox (and others) not covering the IRS-ICE data-sharing is a big concern here. Tax scams are seasonal and real, but this policy shift is structuralâand long-term.
The media spotlight definitely feels misplaced.

I'm confused. Are you equating IRS impersonation scams with the IRS sharing taxpayer data under policy directives? Seems like two very different issuesâone criminal, one systemic. Not quite sure what youâre suggesting.

Critics viewed the EO as an abuse of power, while Trump's allies framed it as a justifiable response to perceived political lawfare.

The Paul Weiss law firm was targeted by an EO from President Trump primarily due to its past employment of Mark Pomerantz, a lawyer who--as special assistant DA in the Manhattan DAâs office--had been involved in criminal investigations into Trump's finances prior to his presidency.

Medgar Evers represents not just Black history, but a foundational integration of civil rights into national identity. His erasure from Army materials reinforces the perceptionâespecially among marginalized communitiesâthat the national mythos is being redefined in exclusionary terms.

This event fits cleanly into an emerging documented pattern the ISI is noticing: the quiet, unexplained removal of Black figures from official government or institutional platforms in response to Anti-DEI mandates. It's not just what's being done it's how it's being done.

The implementation of tariffs reflects a shift toward protectionist policies. This aligns with historical instances where protectionist measures led to significant economic and social shifts, influencing national identity and policy directions.

The parallels with the Berlin Olympics are pretty startling. Travel restrictions, urban cleanses, rising authoritarianism masked by spectacle. The uniforms are different, but the script feels familiar. #WorldCup2026 #FIFA #AuthoritarianDrift

There appears to be a very active effort to whitewash Anti-DEI news.

The Identity Shift Index Event page for this event ( identityshiftindex.com/events/2025-... ) listed four links to news articles. But upon publication, three of those links werwe 404'd. I verified alternates, but within minutes of posting this bluesky post, those three were 404'd.

Thank-you for posting this. Added this to the Identity Shift Index. A major symbolic moment that demonstrates growing divergence between corporate America and populist conservatism. Hopefully, Shareholders agree.

Perhaps people are flipping their shit because a sizable portion of the American population do, in fact, treat his word as reality.

I also appreciate the succinct statement of facts presented without an overwhelming in-your-face bias. It's actually rather refreshing.
