#DOGE barrels toward a fresh round of #firings

Records show a Dept of #Labor [#DOL] component that enforces #EqualOpportunity employment laws is developing a plan to reduce its workforce by 90%.

…At the DOL, cuts proposed…would have a dramatic impact. The internal memo details plans to shrink the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs [#OFCCP] from >50 offices nationwide staffed by nearly 500 people to just 5 offices staffed by 50 people….

The #Trump #SocialSecurity Admin said on Tues that it had closed its Office of #CivilRights & #EqualOpportunity, describing the office as redundant & putting its employees on administrative leave.

The closure of the civil rights office, whose workers were responsible for addressing #discrimination complaints & working-condition accommodations for #disabled employees, came one day after the agency said it had eliminated another office.

"I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO"

Wernher von Braun, a parent of the US space program key in getting the US to the moon, was once an actual member of the n*zi party in Germany during the 3rd reich. He supported and eloquently expresses the value of the equal opportunity employment initiatives President Dumpster removed this week. When the guy you voted for is bad according to an actual n*zi you have truly strayed from morality.

Mistodon: today is observed as #GettysburgAddress Day, #EqualOpportunity Day, and Dedication Day, all of which mark the date #AbrahamLincoln delivered his famous 1863 speech at the dedication of the cemetery at the site of the Civil War battlefield. #ANSIart cannon by AdeptApril

I often meet people claiming to be Center or Left, including those of the LGBTQ+ engaging in racial gaslighting, promoting a distorted color-blindness that defends "whiteness"/
