“Many women, I think, resist feminism because it is an agony to be fully conscious of the brutal misogyny which permeates culture, society, and all personal relationships.”
― Andrea Dworkin in her book, Our Blood: Prophecies and Discourses on Sexual Politics

"DEI judge," influencer Jack Posobiec complained on X, suggesting that she was a "diversity, equity & inclusion" hire - presumably because she is a #woman. [#Trump hired her]

Their criticism of her comes despite Justice #AmyConeyBarrett consistently voting in favour of conservative cases, from ending the landmark #RoeVWade #abortion rights to expanding #gun rights.

#SCOTUS Justice #AmyConeyBarrett was among the justices who rejected the #Trump admin's attempt to avoid paying federal contractors as part of the gutting of the #USAID program.

"She is a rattled law professor with her head up her a**," said Mike Davis, who once worked for another #SupremeCourt justice, describing Justice Barrett as "weak & timid".

“For 2 years, I’ve seen firsthand how our state’s #AbortionBan has harmed my patients, with countless lives & futures changed because politicians thought their views of the right #healthcare was more important than #pregnant people & their #medical providers,” Dr. Eric M Reuss, one of the healthcare providers who brought the lawsuit over #Arizona’s 15-week ban, said in a statement.

“The advances made during the #CivilRights movement are being pushed backwards with the cancellation of #DEI,” Bryant said. “This generation owes it to the previous generation to fight to try to make America great, which is only happening through #diversity.”

During his 2nd admin, #Trump has shown personal animus toward high-ranking #military officers [particularly if they are not white and/or are women], both those on active duty & some who retired years ago.

Trump has suggested that Gen #MarkMilley, his fmr chair of the #JointChiefs who retired in 2023, should be executed for engaging w/his Chinese counterpart during the turmoil surrounding the #Jan6 #insurrection.

The #DOGE team identified 131 agencies within the #FederalGovernment, then assigned one of at least 30 reviewers to examine all the agency’s sub-offices & employees. DOGE staffers searched each agency’s structure & personnel for the terms “#diversity,” “#equity,” “#inclusion,” “#DEI” & “#justice.” Reviews were often completed within a day or two, records show.

A 2nd bullet point states: “#RIF the Phase 2 offices’ *corrupted* branches,” referring to what DOGE has determined are #DEI elements of offices required by #law. The bullet point concludes: “We are exploring options for this.”

One such option emerged this week. On Tues, #Trump signed an #ExecutiveOrder paving the way for #FederalAgencies to reshape or terminate offices legally mandated to exist.

Goals for Phase 3 are listed in brief bullet points in the #DOGE document.

“#RIF the Phase 1 offices in their entirety,” one bullet point reads, referring to offices dedicated to #DEI. That process is already underway: The [#RussVought of #Project2025] #OPM last month directed agencies to submit written plans for firing all DEI office workers & encouraged agencies to begin issuing #termination notices immediately.

Here's an annotated guide to #Trump’s & #ElonMusk’s #DOGE playbook for eliminating #DEI & non-DEI employees, entire divisions & programs from the #UnitedStates #FederalGovernment.

The internal docs reveal the scope, speed & ambition of #DOGE's work. Over the past 3 wks, DOGE has torn through one federal agency after another, gaining access to sensitive data & winning control of the flow of federal cash. In a blitz that has shaken Washington, DOGE team members have identified swaths of jobs & programs to eliminate that do not match #Trump's *ideological* views.

#JDVance also decried the mass migration into #Germany & #Europe in 2015, tying it to #terrorist crimes, including a car attack in Munich on Thursday by an Afghan #asylum seeker, which injured 30 people.

“Over the span of a decade, we saw the horrors wrought by these decisions yesterday in this very city,” he said.

#JDVance poured scorn on the decision in “remote Romania,” as he called it, to cancel a presidential election because of clear evidence of #Russia manipulation of the political campaign.

“If your democracy can be destroyed with a few hundred thousand dollars of digital advertising from a foreign country, then it wasn’t very strong to begin with,” he said.
