Non-histrionicism?

It's sad that a guy with some faith in the system gets insulted and shouted down like this. No dissenting opinions allowed? Sounds familiar. I haven't lost all hope yet, and for good reason.  None of this shit has played out, despite what anyone says. If all of you really believed that the Republic was dead, why haven't you done something?  I mean, something other than lament it on the internet. If the courts abandon the Constitution and bend the knee or if Trump Co. openly violates a final court order, then I'll believe it's over.

Until a white female is sent off to El Salvador by mistake, people won’t give a shit IMO.

Too busy getting caught up with the clown show and watching their 401K

There was no explanation, no warning. One minute, I was in an immigration office talking to an officer about my work visa, which had been approved months before and allowed me, a Canadian, to work in the US. The next, I was told to put my hands against the wall, and patted down like a criminal before being sent to an Ice detention center without the chance to talk to a lawyer.

TIL (after reading an article about her and the account) that she was a real estate agent. The simulation decided to stick with the plan on that one, lol.

Man, y'all even remember two weeks ago when Signalgate was one of the most blatantly stupid actions of the Trump administration, and someone was going to have to face accountability, for realz this time? Such simpler times.

Maybe Laura Loomer can brush up on international trade policy, go suck dotard's dick, and end this stupid tariff war.

That or Elon Musk handing Donald $100B cash in a Scrooge McDuck swimming pool. Legitimately might be our best two options.

"It’s so confusing isn’t it? So much going wrong, so much to say, and all of it happening so quickly. The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it. And that is the real trick of the Imperial thought machine. It's easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than a single incident."

The next punch Republicans delivered to my daughter’s future was yesterday. Interviewing for another position at UT Health, she learned her SS number has been flagged DEI, and that no university can hire her.

What does that even mean?

There’s a lawyer working to answer that question as I type.

Edited to say that, in her interview, she was told exactly (according to her memory) what I posted.

All she did was work for a program that had a DEI word in it. That makes her tainted with DEI?

Yes. That’s my understanding. Hopefully, the lawyer can explain things more clearly.

Back in simpler times a few months ago, I would have thought "That's just a mistake and it sucks, but I'm sure it will get cleared up" now, I'm like " that seems about right, it's probably worse than lawyer is letting on"

Hang in there. Pics of daughter may help with diagnosis of the situation

So, there seem to be rumors afoot that companies and entities engaged in "DEI" could face adverse action from the EEOC.

As we should already know, proving employment discrimination is extraordinarily difficult. @safe sex

Trump's EEOC admits that a) DEI has no definition and as such not illegal; and b) you still have to prove employment discrimination under the existing legal framework.

https://www.eeoc.gov/wysk/what-you-should-know-about-dei-related-discrimination-work

So, it will be interesting to see if the courts change the law to make proof of discrimination easier.

Would love to hear more about this blackballing. Sounds like there is some government blackballing by tagging a SSN for getting a job?! That sounds so fake and dystopian, but I guess I could see it in this environment. Normally I'd say this is 100% your daughter misinterpreting but who knows now.

Wow, we fly this airline all the time.  My daughter who is at Sonoma St, is flying it next week to come home for Easter.  This seems like business suicide for Avelo.  Fuck them.

An airline formerly known as Casino Express might not be run by the best and brightest.

Keep the board updated on what you find out. Seems like something that would need to get out there if what the person who interviewed her or what she recalled is accurate.

Maybe make people who had DEI wear a Star on their clothes?  Seems like that would help identify them later.

Does this mean because Governor Abbott, being a member of the “inclusion” community by virtue of his disability, will not be able to get another job?

You might want to send her into hiding before she is abducted by masked thugs and deported to a gulag in El Salvador

She  has rejected my advice that she continue her education in Canada, France, or Germany. At the time she said that felt like surrender. Now, she says what’s the point? She’s sick of doors being slammed in her face.

Also, talking with my wife more about a flagged SS number, I’ve learned that there are flags, examples being for veterans, and for the disabled. My wife did her share of hiring for the city, so I took her word for it.

It seems so long since Roe v Wade was overturned, but here is a reminder of how evil that shit is. Remember how the anti-abortion freaks would put up those giant billboards of aborted fetuses in front of Gregory? Well, I just saw the reverse. A baby that should have never been born, with a condition incompatible with life, due to the mother being unable to get an abortion.

In addition to being financially ruined, the mother will be forced to watch her horribly disfigured, mentally non-functional child suffer until what is hopefully an early death. I can't share the inage but it's fucking nightmare fuel. Republicans just out there protecting women and babies.

Susman Godfrey, who made nine figures on a contingency fee in the Dominion case, just got EO’d.  They will fight.  They don’t have a transactional group that will lose deals.  

The title of their first motion should be "And Trump Agrees, We've Done Nothing Wrong."

Quote

“Have you noticed that lots of law firms have been signing up with Trump?” the president said, referring to himself in the third person. “$100 million, another $100 million for, uh, damages that they’ve done. They give you $100 million and then they announce that, ‘But we have done nothing wrong.’ And I agree, they’ve done nothing wrong. But what the hell, they give me a lot of money considering they’ve done nothing wrong.”

These EOs are retaliatory, and an unconstitutional exercise of the power of the office to serve his personal goals.

The fact that Trumpkins, and those around here who support him, excuse using the power of our government to exact retribution against law firms who had the temerity to take legal positions that Donald Trump personally doesn't like is as chilling as it gets.  It's among the more horrific things this regime has done, and I don't say that because I'm a lawyer -- I say it because it's perhaps the most naked and flagrant 1) use of government power 2)in violation of the Constitution for 3) purely personal purposes (personal vendetta) I've ever seen.  It's EXACTLY what a fascist authoritarian state would do, and if you support it, excuse it, or are in ANY way okay with it, you are a fucking fascist authoritarian and should meet your end at an Esso station just like your fascist gods.  You and your guys are completely outside the law, and do not deserve its protections.  Once you've opted out, you've fucking opted out.

Remember this war on higher ed and law firms and whatever entity Trump and his goons attack under the shield of “anti-Semitesm” is complete bullshit. They will come for the Jews as soon as their cover is blown or 1 Jewish person pisses him off.
