NEW: DOGE can now access a HUD system that includes addresses domestic violence survivors have relocated to for safety, medical records in disability cases and credit reports in lending discrimination cases.
Few of the records are redacted or anonymized.

The Trump “DEI” purge is essentially ChatGPT searching for and destroying anything that includes a random list of buzzwords.
The result? OSHA deletes a safety guide for EMTs responding to hazardous substance calls & another for nursing home staff. Clown show.

Quite simply THE BEST article I've read on the rise of the populist far-right and the urgent need for progressives to wake up to the new realities. I can't recommend it highly enough.
