Harmeet Dhillon will lead Trump's DOJ Civil Rights Division. Michael Gates will be her lieutenant

Both are super partisan election deniers from
California who have made names for themselves among MAGA attacking civil rights rather than defending & expanding civil rights

Both are unqualified
Harmeet Dhillon has meticulously built her brand as an anti-woke cultural warrior—and she's now Trump's pick to lead DOJ’s Civil Rights Division. 

We broke down just how wholly unqualified she is.
Harmeet Dhillon: The Department of Justice Nominee Coming for Our Civil Rights

Federal Courts Are the Frontline for Those Opposing Trump Executive Orders
With a compliant Congress and mostly quiet streets, the president’s opponents are turning to the judicial branch with a flurry of legal actions. But can the courts keep up?

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

I just got a report that the Minneapolis VA has stopped hiring workers thanks to a hasty Trump Executive Order.

They’ve rescinded offers to dozens of people who were going to fill critical roles to care for vets.

Can’t wait until these guys have to define in court a “DEI hire” and “DEI employees.”
So this is the lawsuit I may have to join. Someone please coax out of Rufo the particular cabinet members who are making lists of women and racial minorities who will targeted for firing.
The guy who manufactured the outrage against Critical Race Theory and Elon Musk are now just simply firing non-whites and non-males in the federal government.

Unbelievably petty! The Spanish language version of the White House website was deleted after the inauguration yesterday.

Look what happens when you hit the “go home” button!
