Someone defend this, I wanna see a 10/10 gymnastics routine.

everywhere you look just more racism and white supremacy from modern republicans

[Somewhatconcerned]

you continue to defend and celebrate white supremacy

why are y'all so fucking weird, man

Malicious compliance, look it up.

[Bwgmon]

Malicious compliance, look it up.

Called it.

Boy, we're going to be seeing a lot of "Trump orders diversity removed from a thing immediately -> Group scrambles to remove diversity from a thing because they don't want to be fired -> People point out it's racist and/or sexist -> 'uh akshually it was malicious compliance what did it'" over the next four years.

[tehdang]

Malicious compliance, look it up.

It looks like a developing story right now, but boy does that look like deliberate and unwarranted action to protest against the DEI executive order.

Secondarily, they’re doing it with the approval of America’s left wing. They want federal employees to rebel against their boss to make it more difficult to be the chief executive. The people doing this have moral cover for their actions.

Not to mention the demand-side for publications that want stories about racism and white supremacy.

Yep. A lot of these stories (like the USAF supposedly cancelling teaching about the Tuskegee Airmen) were rightly reversed when malicious compliance was discovered.

Hard to deny that 60 Minutes really went out of their way to shield Kamala Harris from some of her non-answers.

Do they need to be taken off the air? Of course not. But they should be called out for it. Legacy media is dead anyway.

How long before we find out that USAID or some other Dem agency was also paying CBS? I mean the depth of this corruption is untold. Which is a shame because whatever good USAID was actually doing will be forgotten.

Take note how our local cowards don't address the matter of the hitlist. Oi, tehdang! You feckless worm, any opinions?

it's so fucking funny how predictable the script is

is it really?

considering the AG is telling the DoJ to investigate companies with DEI policies?

considering the very poorly written nature of these memos which has consistently been pointed out?

considering the people tracking governemnt githubs and functionally watching them pull down anything with words like "diverse" in it because they were functionally just searching for terms and deleting anything with those terms in it, regardless of context?

i don't think so, this is just people carrying out the letter of the memo that was issued, in accordance with how the administration is generally handling these topics.

what we do see is that when one of these instances is outrageous enough to get national attention, suddenly things change because the administration takes a moment to look at the context that they did not tell departments to look at when pulling down anything "DEI".

Mexico quickly honoring their end of the deal.

I mean, there is a way to physically stop them but if you do it they cry like the little bitches they are.

I was really talking more specifically here on this forum in particular.

lol, clownhall tracking link.

anyways it's funny every time conservatives learn about the existence of editing and pretending its outrageous when they think it might have benefitted a democrat while never saying a word about it when fox heavily edits a donald interview to make him slightly less incoherent

clownhall tracking link is extremely appropropriate, actually.

[En Sabah Nur]

Called it.

It almost feels intentional... it has to be, right?

I dunno about "quickly" when the deal was signed nearly 2 months ago.

Thank goodness we had Trump's incredible negotiating skills to get Mexico to... uh, *checks notes*... continue doing the thing they agreed they'd do with Biden. Absolute masterful move, getting the same for more, since he even threw "the US will stop the US from moving illegal weapons across the border" into the deal for nothing.

Proud of Mexico for turning a net-zero deal into a gain for literally nothing.

"today, the sun rose in the east.

thank you donald, for making the sun rise in the east. and thank you in advance for making the sun set in the west."

that's the kinda energy i'm getting from republicans and maga folks, lately

[Kathandira]

Again, audit all of it.

And where there's smoke, there's fire. And there's been an awful lot of smoke revealed from Dems lately.

If there was smoke, that would mean there was evidence that gave cause to isolate Democrat raised programs. Do you have links that provide evidence of said smoke?

Without any such evidence, you would need to better explain why only Dem programs are being targeted.

Checking in to see if you had the time to pull up sources that explained how it was determined to target democrat raised programs first. I'd like to understand where the smoke was seen coming from to make the decision to start with the democrat programs.

Sometimes literally; they're praising Trump's actions for putting the fires in Cali out when all that happened was it fucking rained. Legitimate Cult and/or Kissass behavior.

Indeed, they seem pretty productive! Maybe we should ask them to come here and do work.

Not the rapists, of course. We have one of our own.

It was an MTG Tweet I saw a while ago, long buried beneath the shitpile of DOGE news lol.

[Endus]

It looks like a developing story right now, but boy does that look like deliberate and unwarranted action to protest against the DEI executive order.

Which part of DEI is it that bothers you, specifically?

Is it the diversity? That there's too many non-whites and women in the workplace?
Is it the equity? The fairness and just treatment of workers?
Is it the inclusion, so we're not unfairly othering people for their differences?

Be clear about precisely what flavor of open bigotry guides your culture-war politics. Because if you're opposed to DEI, you're a bigot of some sort or another. As with the attacks on CRT, BLM, and "Woke", it's all just buzzwords from people who are too chickenshit to openly use the N-word with a hard R the way they really want to.

There are no other levels. It's just that.

And yeah; anyone sane and decent is gonna oppose anti-DEI policies, because opposing bigotry is always a moral strength.
