Summary
Federal employees filed a class action complaint against the Trump administration, alleging unlawful terminations targeting non-white and non-male workers under executive orders banning diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
The complaint, supported by the ACLU and Democracy Forward, claims the firings violate the First Amendment and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
Plaintiffs seek reinstatement and damages.
A separate Maryland court temporarily blocked Trump’s orders from cutting DEI-related grants, but an appeals court stayed the decision. Additional lawsuits challenge the orders as unconstitutional discrimination.
No shit
And tonight at 11, water is wet.
And they are completely correct.
SUE. THE. SHIT. OUT. OF. THEM.
How do you tell the difference between a person of color hired normally or because of DEI? Its racism
If you’d have told me a year ago that I’d be longing for something as mundanely harmful and problematic as Kissinger-esque foreign policy and watergate-level scandals, I’d have laughed you out of the room.
What a time to be alive 🫠
