#DOJ attorneys haven’t elaborated on how doing so might hamper the portrayal #Trump seeks to present to the public. But overturning policies encompassing #diversity, #equity & #inclusion have become a hallmark of his second admin, starting with his very first week back in the White House.

#Trump admin says #SignLanguage services 'intrude' on Trump's ability to control his #image

The Trump admin is arguing that requiring real-time #ASL interpretation of events like White House press briefings “would severely intrude on the President’s prerogative to control the image he presents to the public,” part of a lawsuit seeking to require the White House to provide the services.

The Justice Department has finalized new regulations that effectively eliminate the use of “disparate impact” analysis—a key tool for proving racial discrimination based on statistical disparities—marking a significant rollback of civil rights protections. These regulations, issued without public comment, narrow the ability of government and private entities to be investigated or sued for policies that unintentionally cause racial disparities, focusing instead on intent-based discrimination. The move aligns with conservative arguments that discrimination should only be proven through explicit intent, rather than data showing unequal impact. Critics warn that this shift could weaken efforts to address systemic racial inequities, as it makes it significantly harder to challenge policies that unintentionally disadvantage marginalized groups.

Last week Trump called Tim Walz the ‘R slur’.

He then doubled down on it, and now his base have begun harassing the entire Walz family.

Memes are circulating on socials encouraging people to drive past their house and yell it at them.

I’ve been personally called that word more than 1,000 times in the last seven days.

We can’t allow this to happen. The disability community has fought far too hard for far too long to remove that word from the public vernacular.

This is ableism at it’s most ugly, and ableism feeds eugenics and eugenics feeds fascism.

Help us fight back. We are not expendable.
