That AntiDEI is being used to fire women and minorities is urgent crisis. Businesses, schools and other institutions are being pressured to purge anyone who fits the DEI profile.
The harm is beyond the loss of jobs but also who will be the replacements and the trajectory for discrimination. Hiring a woman or minority is being “criminalized” .
So many of us will not want a Christopher Ruffo because he has no problem with lying and misinforming. Our ethics is our vulnerability. We believe is truth and facts and deplore hypocrisy.
It is a problem in a society that has abandoned critical thinking and media literacy.
tRumps orders from Uncle Vlad are to remove all expertise from the US government. Putting all these highly-trained professionals out on the street is going to send reverberations throughout the economy and the people likely won't be easily re-employed. This is so idiotically evil that I am having trouble getting my head around. tRump+Musk are a couple of highly placed berserkers wrecking havoc on our institutions. It is certainly treasonous and I consider their actions an act of war against the United States.
Definitely within the later definition of Berserker.
"Many earlier sagas portrayed berserkers as bodyguards, elite soldiers, and champions of kings.[30] This image would change as time passed and sagas would begin to describe berserkers as boasters rather than heroes, and as ravenous men who loot, plunder, and kill indiscriminately.[31][30] Within the sagas, Berserkers can be narrowed down to four different types. The King's Berserkr, the Hall-Challenging Berserkr, the Hólmgangumaðr, and the Viking Berserkr.[30] Later, by Christian interpreters, the berserker was viewed as a "heathen devil"."
I'm hoping the public gives trump the finger with regard to his actions regarding the US Postal Service and his stated desire to privatize it. This seems as if it would be a good issue to focus on as everyone, especially people in rural areas (read: MAGA) are served by the USPS. Emphasis on "served." The USPS is a service and was never intended to be a business.
I haven't quite put my finger on what's bothering me about Postmaster Louis DeJoy's resignation just a couple or three days before trump fired members of the postal board and trump stated his telltale "many people are saying" type claim that privatization is a popular idea, but it feels as if there's some deception afoot (recall DeJoy's checkered history with regard to the Republican party, trump, alleged 2020 election interference, and possible conflicts associated with his and his wife's other business and investments). I don't think DeJoy's resignation is a random coincidence. I hope someone connects the dots for us if they haven't already.
Again, in my humble layperson's opinion, this presents a good -- and simple -- messaging opportunity for the Democrats. Privatizing a 250 year old public service so trump's broligarchs can exploit it for profit is something that could adversely affect just about every consumer.
That's what I find highly suspicious -- stepping down right before trump fired members of the postal board.
And now I find out that trump plans to name the CEO/President of a multinational financial services company as director of the SSA (after Dudek, who has been under investigation prior to being appointed as interim by trump). None of this sets well, either.
Gov. Janet Mills similarly stood up to Trump during a governors conference call on Covid procedures. For years before that, as Attorney General, she stood up self-styled "Trump before Trump" Gov. Paul LePage.
An unintended consequence of Trump cutting off education funds to Maine will be cutting off public funds which go to religious schools.
Trump seems unaware that in a recent landmark Supreme Court case, the religious extremist majority ruled that Maine must pay religious school tuition. A Maine law requires payment to private schools in rural areas where there are no public schools. Maine law prohibited payments to religious schools. The court overruled that - further tearing down the constitutional wall between church and state and further privileging religious entities and notions over secular civic life and law.

Even as they point out five- and six-figure contracts and grants as wasteful, they have ignored each of Trump’s seven-figure golf trips to date. A search of posts by DOGE on Musk’s social media website once known as Twitter found zero mentions of the word “golf.”

It’s unclear exactly how much Trump’s first-term trips to Trump properties cost taxpayers — and, by extension, benefited Trump’s private company. A 2019 reportdetermined that Trump’s first four trips to Mar-a-Lago in 2017 cost nearly $14 million. About half of that was just transit to and from the property. But stays at Mar-a-Lago (or his properties in Las Vegas or New Jersey or nearly anywhere else) also incurred on-the-ground costs like general security measures and rooms and expenses for Secret Service.

We need our own Christopher Ruffo, a framer, a labeler. Anti-DEI is Pro-segregation. Period.
AntiDEI is prejudice against women and against minorities. I don’t believe women will stand for this.

If Putin didn't ask, Trump would give it anyway. He is the fascist profile.

Thank you for the opportunity of SHARING your political art with my friends and political acquaintances— and I do!
When did so many become so cruel and sadistic?
I think that it's just that the mask is off.
Is it time for another Mass Art Protest?
