Summary

Donald Trump signed an executive order rolling back transgender and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, reversing key measures introduced by Joe Biden.

The new order declares the federal government will recognize only two genders and bans agencies from promoting gender transitions.

Federal documents, prisons, and agencies must comply.

Trump also targeted environmental justice grants and diversity training programs.

Civil rights groups condemned the move, pledging legal challenges.

    Sorry, I made the only decision I could. Every fucking day I listened to the stories and testimony coming out of Gaza. It was either vote against the genocide or do something much more drastic. I wouldn’t have survived voting for genocide. I hung on because I chose to believe the Axis of Resistance could hang on and keep fighting until a ceasefire. And they did!

    Instead of punching left at people who wouldn’t vote for genocide, punch right at the transphobes that want to kill us. If you want to be mad at me, be mad at me. I can handle it. But you’re gonna have to work with me if we’re gonna get through this together.

      You punched left with the biggest fist when you voted for trump to win.

      You didn’t vote for trump but that isn’t relevant.

      You need to get off your ideological high horse and study game theory.

      You Helped Trump

      This presidency is partially your fault.

      It’s much more simple than that. One can’t help others until one can help oneself. A country can’t help others until it can help itself.

      Due to the outcome of the election, all of the United States of America and its territories have been kneecapped and set in a terrible direction that will result in Just. More. Death. There will be no helping others, no helping ourselves, no helping.

      All death sucks, and now we have more to layer upon it.

      We were trying to work together to stop the fascists but too many people like you let perfect be the enemy of the good. Now we can only hope that there will be something to save in four years.

        If you actually believe we need to stop the fascists, you can’t just wait four years to try again. Fuck this “we can only hope” loser talk. We can do a hell of a lot more than that! If you really believe this is a fascist takeover, start acting like it.

          Look, I get it, there’s more that must be done. But there’s only so much an individual can do. We need to work together again and this time, stay united.

            They’re a tankie, mate. Not much use arguing, they’re starting from a bad faith position.

                The ideology is close but their to logic abilities are closer to the right’s, in that they are non-existent.

                It’s really weird to interact with people who claim to be far left but who make libertarians seem well studied.

                It would be an improvement if they were actual bots since these new LLM bots have fewer hallucinations.
