Glad to know my tax dollars are getting spent on the new flavor of virtue signaling. Insane this was some super high priority.

This whole administration is a (very bad) joke. America was fun while it lasted.

The parallels are staggering.

Fascists. It helps fascists.

How does it help them?

It's intentional othering.

We knew what to do about fascists at one point. We have forgotten.

Do you know how much the FAA spent renaming “cockpit” and changing Notice to Airmen to Notice to Air Missions in all FAA publications? In the midst of a profound controller shortage, the FAA spent millions on changing words.

If people want to criticize the current changes as wasting money, then it’s intellectually dishonest not to call out other agencies such as the FAA for their nonsense.

I suppose hiding the contributions of minorities would make it easier to argue that they're free-loaders, non-contributors, etc. if someone wanted to scapegoat them for societal ills.

I never, and I mean NEVER, want to hear someone talk about "cancel culture" of the left ever again.

The point of making these traits visible is because there's a loooooong history of white men monopolizing and PREVENTING minorities and women from participating. Or, even worse white men taking credit for the work done by women and minorities.
