it's hard to read the chart in the screenshot but what this moron is actually complaining about isn't "DEI" staff, it's special education teachers. these ghouls are coming for people with disabilities and they aren't even shy about it.

Also did you know that the entire Federal workforce is less than 6% of the Federal budget? Cutting them isn't about saving money.

Important thread. I’ve been talking about incremental changes to abortion rights for 25 years and we are seeing the fruits of their labor now.
My current prediction for the second Trump term is that we won’t see lots of big, overt attacks on abortion rights—at least not right away. But behind the scenes, small rule changes and increased enforcement of existing laws will whittle what access we have to a toothpick.

Wonderful time to be a journalist, really.
Low pay, high stress, not sure if you'll have a job tomorrow, oh, and the President-elect believes you are an enemy of the state and will use his power as god-king to make sure we can't protect sources.
