Summary

Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered the DOJ to investigate private companies for DEI programs, potentially pursuing criminal charges.

Citing the 2023 Supreme Court ruling against affirmative action, she argues DEI initiatives violate anti-discrimination laws. The directive targets large corporations, nonprofits, and universities, with reports due by March 1.

Legal experts warn this move likely violates First Amendment protections, as courts have upheld employers’ rights to promote diversity.

Civil rights groups are expected to challenge the policy, setting up a major legal battle for the administration.

We're dealing with this because the union fucked up and didn't see reconstruction thru after the civil war.

We had fucking military bases named after confederate generals. That's enough to tell you the identity of this country.

When the next Civil War happens, we don't need any Biden fucking losers olive branching the losers. We've historically done this and what has happened so far? Next time the US beats the confederates, erase their fucking shitty culture of racism and hate.

I think the message is pretty clear that the US experiment has run its course and the country just needs to split in multiple parts instead of trying to make things work between people with vastly different interests under the same umbrella.

Let the red States become the third world country they want to be.

This is exactly what I’ve been saying for years now. But is there ever any kind of serious talk about secession anywhere by anyone particularly our democratic political “leaders”?

No, it's not bad enough yet. There is nothing in the constitution allowing for secession. Blue state's economies will have to be destroyed before they band together and decide enough is enough.

There needs to be a critical mass, no state is going to do it on their own because the military could just roll over them.
