8. The national shame and stain is that Pete Hegseth is Secretary of Defense.
Sun Mar 16, 2025, 05:12 AM
Mar 2025

I don't have the words to fully capture what I'm feeling. Raging, Tearful, Shame, Disgust, More Rage. Sick.

How can this fucking be.

They actually are out to erase all non-white accomplishments and fire all non-white people because they all must be DEI.

On Edit: I never could get my head around what it meant to purge DEI. I'm finally getting it.

Instead of embracing diversity they are actually out to enforce homogeneity

Instead of striving for equity in treatment they are out to enforce inequity

Instead of striving to ensure all Americans are included at all levels regardless of race or gender they are out to enforce exclusion of those who are not white or not biological males from whatever roles they deem they don't belong in.

Silly me. Should have caught on sooner.
