Remember three months ago when we had the strongest and most stable economy in the world?
But I guess owning the libs was more important.

It’s #EqualPayDay + for the first time in 20 years, the gender wage gap is getting worse while Trump rolls back the very protections that help women find out they’re being underpaid.
This gap didn’t just “happen.” It was built on centuries of racism, sexism, and exploitation.

Sgt. William Carney, "a Black soldier who was awarded the Medal of Honor at the Civil War battle retold as the finale of the 1989 movie Glory, has been scrubbed from a Pentagon website, with an article on the soldier labeled as “DEI” in the now-broken web link."

No reason to have an office for civil rights and liberties if you no longer have civil rights and liberties.
BREAKING — The DHS Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties is being eliminated entirely via Reduction in Force (RIF), an agency source tells me. Staff have not been given reassignment options. Functions of the office will supposedly be assigned to other offices.
