What a pathetic action by the “state department.” There is no valid reason to make this change, which decreases accessibility. It’s just petty.
And their claim that “Calibri” is DEI is just plain stupid.

If you thought Trump couldn't show any less empathy or humanity, here's proof that the bar continues to be lowered.
Trump: "The problem is nobody wants to go fishing anymore. They don't want to get in boats. They don't want anything to do with boats. I think we've destroyed the boat market. Other than that it's been very effective."

Trump created the tariff crisis and now wants to swoop in as the “solution.” He’s rolling out a $12 billion bailout for farmers (many of whom are among his most loyal supporters) after his own trade war damaged their livelihoods and pushed them into financial hardship.

The current administration continues to lower the bar on how repulsive and inhumane they can be.
These were people already approved to be naturalized, yet they were stopped solely because of their countries of origin. MAGA keeps saying, “If they wanted to be in this country, they should have done it the right way.” Well, they did. And the administration still blocked them. Cruelty is the point.

I'll say again: we are oddly selective about the government services about which we will say, they operate at a loss.
We say Amtrak and the post office "lose money" but we never say highways, the court system, the Pentagon, etc lose money

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Ending DEI practices in college admissions will expose an uncomfortable truth. Women now outperform men academically.
If universities stop trying to gender balance incoming classes but instead admit based on merit, they’ll reject men at higher rates than they do today.
