Donald Trump replacing a black four-star general with a white three-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is everything MAGA claims they hate about DEI: giving a less qualified person the job based on their race, not their resume.

By voting for him you have declared how little we have in common, how small our shared ground of agreement is, and how different the visions of this nation we share. And as much as it grieves me, I’m simply choosing to believe you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-the-peo...

Great that he is still speaking out! I appreciated his support of the GLBTQ community when he was in MN. 👏

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

I’m gutted. OPM fired about 25% of my office today. I can’t even describe what I witnessed today. So much cruelty from above, but so much love and support inside the office. It makes no sense. We aren’t even paid out of appropriations funds. We work on “soft money” reimbursable agreements.

Way to go, Trumpers, you killed democracy because you worshipped white supremacy. What an asinine hill for a country to DEI on.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.
