DEI exists to help right the historic wrong of unqualified white dudes always getting the gig.
A tweet from Monty Hall says: "This is why these DEI conversations are funny to me. The Black guy had to achieve countless high-ranking military positions, earn the Silver Star, and be a four-star General to be considered for Secretary of Defense. Meanwhile, the other guy just had to be in the Army…SMDH." Below is an embedded tweet with two images: on the left, a Black man in a decorated military uniform, and on the right, a white man in a casual outfit with an American flag shirt and loose tie. The caption reads: "We went from Black excellence and class to just straight up trash."

Trump has taken a sledgehammer to government ethics by:

-Rescinding Biden's EO outlining ethics commitments for political appointees
-Firing 18 federal inspectors general
-Launching a self-enriching crypto coin

This will be the most corrupt administration in history.

If you think your spot at an Ivy League school was stolen by some unworthy kid, you are right, except it was not a minority, it was the incredibly stupid child of a wealthy asshole who bought your spot.

People who think removing DEI in universities leads to meritocracies, are too stupid to get into universities on the merits.

I am begging the national media to start taking this seriously.

Stop buying the claims that the framing of "temporary" or "pause."

They are altering the review processes of federally funded scientific research from merit-based peer review processes to political screening by ideologues.
