this is the "merit" two-step. first, you strongly imply or state outright that the presence of anyone who isn't a straight, able-bodied white man is unfair "DEI," then you argue that just because an institution is all-male and lily-white doesn't mean there is discrimination. that's just merit!

NCMEC isn't just about missing kids, they run a hash sharing platform so social media companies can share hashes of child sexual abuse materials (CSAM) and do proactive take downs of content once it's been identified.
Defunding NCMEC will encourage the spread of CSAM online.
Evil, evil shit.

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

They start with quiet deletions, missing reports, and assurances that there is "no cause for concern."

Disturbing ties between Kash Patel and SHEIN — a PRC company implicated in forced labor in Xinjiang. He has millions in shares and won’t divest.
Especially concerning amid reports that DOJ/FBI is going to reduce focus on PRC influence efforts in the US.

TLDR: Patel is reportedly (1) on SHEIN’s payroll, (2) appears to have concealed or understated these relationships, (3) *won’t divest while being FBI director* and (4) supports cutting efforts to counter PRC influence.
