@StillIRise1963 Philadelphia recently created a DEI officer and just fired her before the new mayor was sworn in
Puzzling

@StillIRise1963 it's barely code at this point. :(

@Sablebadger Good. I want this to be clear to most.

@MarvClowder While it shouldn't be the case, these programs have always been a total fucking sham. They've never wanted this to be different, they did/do this shit only for the sake of appearances. I've had Black friends take these jobs at very prestigious firms only to be emotionally devastated and beat down to learn their jobs were a fucking farce. It's a farce. And, this time, the farce only lasted four fucking years. 🙄

It stretches bigotry beyond anti-Black doesn't it? It is extended to basically anyone not white heterosexual male.

@stargazersmith We're the face of it, but yes. People need to know that we're first, YOU'RE next.

With fascists, there's always a "next", eventually even attacking those among their own ranks. Our job as citizens is to stop fascism from taking over our country.

Then -- continue with the hard work of trying to form a more perfect union. A never ending task, but a noble one.

@stargazersmith Yes. I know fascism well, having lived with it for 60 years. Perhaps now that it will affect everyone, this 400 year siege can come to an end.
