#IHIPNews: Trump's Rating Take a DIVE, Who Thinks They'll be the Next Trump to be President?!

1.57min. mark : #ColinPowell, a Republican, was removed by #nazi #PeteHegseth from the #DeptofDefense's #ListOfNotableAmericans, and #Hegseth removed EVERY person of colour and EVERY woman. Only 'white' men were remained. The excuse is #DEI.

Remember, Hegseth has hate tattooes and said women should be in the military.

‘People will die’: alarm as Trump’s DEI rollback hits anti-trafficking efforts

theguardian.com/law/2025/mar/2

The US government has ordered law enforcement agencies, the state department and some non-profit organizations working to combat sex trafficking to remove references to victims’ LGBTQ+ identities, race and immigration status from their communications and websites, a move experts warn will endanger vulnerable minors.

Amid Trump anti-DEI attack, 1 in 4 hiring managers say women are less respected at work fastcompany.com/91296481/trump

The report referenced data that showed that while 4% of hiring managers are less likely to hire a man or a woman with children, only 7% are less likely to hire an expecting father, as opposed to 20% who are less likely to hire an expecting mother.

Canadian researchers threatened; adhere to Trump's ideology or forget about doing research. “The questionnaire is a not­sosubtle way of saying that unless you adhere to these policies and to the ideology of the Trump administration, we're not going to give you funding anymore”

International Day for the Elimination of #RacialDiscrimination: “Anti-rights & racist rhetoric are becoming more mainstream around the world. In some cases, the very foundation of anti-racism is being attacked. The clearest example is the #US #Trump administration’s assault on diversity, equity & inclusion (#DEI), which highlights broader backsliding of efforts to promote racial justice...”

Outside of the sheer cave *man* stupidity of being anti-#DEI

It's plain stupid from a #utilitarian perspective.

Genetic diversity, Different perspectives, stronger teams, all the Mandelas, Ramanujans, Boulgones that may not see the light of the day.

Trump is going after law firms. He targeted the law firm Perkins Coie, and Perkins Coie is now suing the Trump administration.

Then he targeted the law firm Paul Weiss. Paul Weiss hurried to scrap they're D.E.I. policies and told Trump they would work for him for free

Army, Navy, and Air Force examples of "disappeared" web pages are given in the article.

It leads with a buried/renamed page about the Truman administration. Between this and the Jackie Robinson debacle earlier this week, they're having a field day with the 1940s.

TPM - Talking Points Memo · Pentagon Removes Webpages Celebrating Racial Integration of the Armed ForcesBy Josh Kovensky

"White House officials informed the Navajo Nation that an artificial intelligence-powered automated review process looking for content with DEI initiatives led to the elimination of anything mentioning “Navajo,” according to a statement from Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren."

Apparently anything even tangentially related to the health and history of women and religious, ethnic or sexual minorities is "DEI" now. Including Holocaust Remembrance. It almost seems as if the current leadership of the Pentagon regrets the role the U.S. armed forces played in the victory over Nazi Germany.

"A memo sent to Australian collaborators in US-funded research projects seeks assurances that they and their institutions have no involvement in diversity, equity and inclusion (#DEI) initiatives, “environmental justice”, “gender ideology extremism” or “any party that espouses anti-American beliefs”. It asks whether they have received any funding from China, including Confucius Institutes and “non-state actors”, along with Russia, Cuba or Iran. The 36 questions also include queries on how the projects “create measurable benefits” for the US."

"Articles about the Holocaust, September 11, cancer awareness, sexual assault, and suicide prevention are among the tens of thousands either removed or flagged for removal from Pentagon websites as the department has scrambled to comply with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s order to scrub 'diversity' content from all its platforms."
