This Madness Has Gone Too Far!

How much they despise people who are not white males, and are trying to bring us back to the 1950s! It is a misogynistic, racists, homophobic, transphobic policy!
Pentagon leaders have ordered that their websites and social media pages remove articles and images that “promote” DEI.

Arlington National Cemetery has scrubbed information about prominent Black, Hispanic and female service members and topics such as the Civil War from its website, part of a broader effort across the Defense Department to remove all references to diversity, equity and inclusion from its online presence.

A cemetery spokesperson confirmed Friday that it removed internal links directing users to webpages listing the dozens of “Notable Graves” of Black, Hispanic and female veterans and their spouses.

[...]

President Donald Trump signed executive orders on his first day in office banning DEI in federal programs and contracts. Since then, directives from Pentagon leaders have ordered the removal of all news and feature articles, photos and videos that they say “promote” DEI.

A spokesperson for the cemetery said they are working to ensure that the content posted on the website complies with the administration’s policies.
I tell you Trump wants to bring us back to the 1950s to the world of "Father Knows Best," where Blocks knew their place, and gays were in sleazy bar, and we were still hiding in the closet!



Then in Idaho, this madness!
"There are only two opinions on this sign: Everyone is welcome here, or not everyone is welcome here,” argues Sarah Inama, a sixth-grade history teacher.

An Idaho teacher is in a standoff with her own school district after officials ordered her to remove classroom signs, including one that reads, “Everyone is welcome here.” 

Sarah Inama, a sixth-grade history teacher at Lewis and Clark Middle School in Meridian, Idaho, says she won't comply with the order, arguing that the message is a fundamental part to ensuring a positive learning environment for her students.

Inama, who has taught at the school for five years, says her commitment to inclusivity isn't about politics. It's about her passion for education and students.
The Republicans are racists and all the other  "isms". If you voter for the Republicans, you are a racist. If you voted for the Republicans because the economy... you are a racist. You cannot separate the two and ignore the bad. 



Trump's #1 Henchman didn't like getting his hand slapped by the court, so like all good henchman he strikes back...

Elon Musk threw a tantrum after his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was dealt a series of legal setbacks, immediately calling for the impeachment of federal judges.

“Without judicial reform, which means at least the absolute worst judges get impeached, we don’t have real democracy in America,” Musk said on X.

He reacted after federal agencies were ordered on Thursday to immediately reinstate tens of thousands of federal workers with probationary status who had been laid off by DOGE as part of its sweeping government cost-cutting efforts, dealing a blow to Musk, as he seeks to eventually reduce the deficit by $1 trillion.
Hey! I got an answer for him... raise the taxes on him and his fellow billionaires!
A multistate lawsuit had accused the federal government of unlawfully firing tens of thousands of probationary employees and claimed the terminations occurred without transparency, placing excessive strain on state unemployment support systems and causing economic damage.

In response, an order by Judge James Bredar of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland—which expires March 27—requires that 18 federal agencies must offer jobs back to the probationary workers affected since Trump took office. They have until 1 p.m. Monday to rehire their terminated employees, The Washington Post reported.
So now the world's richest person if having a temperature tantrum!

But Musk isn't alone in the battle against the courts, ABC News reported...
When President Donald Trump spoke to employees of the Department of Justice Friday afternoon, he addressed many of the lawyers tasked with defending his policies in court across more than 120 lawsuits.

For some of those attorneys it's been a challenging week, as judges in several cases have appeared skeptical of the government's arguments.

While defending policies like the government's mass layoffs or the Pentagon's transgender service member ban, a number of DOJ attorneys have found themselves at a loss for words when trying to answer the questions asked of them.

"So, people with gender dysphoria can't be honest, humble, or have integrity. You think that's demeaning to people with gender dysphoria?" U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes asked a DOJ attorney on Wednesday during a hearing on the service member ban.

"I can't answer that question," he responded.
The courts are asking that very same question! In another ABC News article,
The Pentagon's new transgender service member policy faces its first legal test.

A federal judge on Wednesday signaled that she was deeply skeptical that the Pentagon's handling of transgender service members complies with federal law, grilling a government attorney for hours about the scientific basis for the decision, its impact on military readiness, and the alleged harms to unit cohesion.

U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes said she plans to issue a ruling on the policy as early as next week, but appeared to rebuff most of the arguments defending the policy made by a DOJ attorney, who frequently appeared to be at a loss for words regarding how to respond to the judge's questions.
Trump is getting very flustered with the courts and that is when we have to worry because if he doesn't like something... he attacks! And this time his target will be the courts!



Then we have Trump behaving like a petty tin-pot dictator...

President Trump is threatening to pull funding from schools that allow what he calls "illegal protests," as his administration launches a review of Columbia University's federal contracts.

"All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests," Mr. Trump posted on social media Tuesday morning. "Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS!"

On Monday, the Department of Education, Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. General Services Administration announced they will conduct a comprehensive review of Columbia's federal contracts, citing ongoing investigations into potential violations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.

The announcement said the federal government's Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism will look into more than $5 billion in federal grant commitments to make sure the school is complying with federal regulations. The task force is also considering stop work orders for $51.4 million in federal contracts.
The thing is it is Trump's definition of "illegal" not the legal definition! For Trump any protests against his policies is illegal!

This is how dictators behave... this is how fascist governments behave!
