WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s administration is directing that all federal diversity, equity and inclusion staff be put on paid leave, and that agencies develop plans to lay them off, according to a memo Tuesday from the Office of Personnel Management.

So where are we supposed to pull those bootstraps toward?

They kept Prison labor still inclusive i bet?

I am not perceived LGBT, but wear the autism practically on my face i feel like i am waiting in line for the chopping block.

I am not sure who’s behind me but if you aren’t a millionaire you are in waving distance.

I'd bet that nobody's record states "DEI HIRE" so they'll just purge all the women, minorities, and LGBTQ+ employees.

That's not what it means. It doesn't mean people hired party because of DEI. It means people who work in DEI departments or have DEI in their title. So, certain managers, HR people, etc. Not some random worker who may or may not have been hired party for DEI reasons.

Keeping Track of the 2nd Trump administration!

One thing Donald Trump and the extreme right were very good at doing is burying the track record of his first presidency from 2017 to 2021.

Keep Track is dedicated to literally keeping track, day by day, of the policy decisions made by the new Trump Administration.

That is not to say we're interested in the crazy things he says or tweets, he clocked over 30,000 lies the last time he was in office, I don't see how it's possible to track all of that. This is about POLICY. Nominees, executive orders, signed laws, and so on.

Subject line format should be {{date}} {{event}} so: "01-20-2025 - Trump is sworn in."

The international date format of 2025-01-20 is also acceptable!

Links should be to verifiable news sources, not social media or blog sites. So no Xitter/Truth/Youtube/Substack/etc. etc.
