#DEI statement

A high-stakes confrontation has recently erupted between the Trump administration and Harvard University, often considered America’s most prestigious academic institution. The administration, through the U.S. Department of Education, issued a series of sweeping demands aimed at reshaping Harvard’s governance, admissions, and hiring practices—threatening to freeze over $2.2 billion in federal funding if the university did not comply. These demands were framed as efforts to bring Harvard into compliance Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in institutions receiving federal funds, and Title VII, which prohibits employment discrimination on similar grounds. According to the administration, Harvard had failed “to protect American students and faculty from antisemitic violence and harassment,” among other concerns.

The initial list of demands, issued on April 3, called on Harvard to dismantle programs fostering antisemitism, enforce its own student conduct policies, adopt strictly merit-based hiring and admissions practices, eliminate all preferences based on race, sex, religion, or other immutable traits, and shut down its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. A second list, released on April 11, went further—demanding audits of admissions and hiring data, investigations into faculty plagiarism, and the elimination of “ideological litmus tests.” It also required that every department and teaching unit found to lack “viewpoint diversity” be restructured by hiring or admitting a “critical mass” of faculty and students with divergent views.

When Harvard President Alan Garber rejected these demands on April 14, citing violations of academic freedom and First Amendment protections, the administration responded by freezing the university’s federal funds. President Trump escalated the conflict the next day by threatening to revoke Harvard’s tax-exempt status. On Truth Social, he wrote: “Perhaps Harvard should lose its Tax Exempt Status and be Taxed as a Political Entity if it keeps pushing political, ideological, and terrorist inspired/supporting ‘Sickness?’ Remember, Tax Exempt Status is totally contingent on acting in the PUBLIC INTEREST!”

Garber and others framed these actions as a political power play, portraying Harvard as standing up to an administration wishing to enforce its ideology onto them. But this framing misses the mark. The Trump administration’s initial demands weren’t about imposing a competing ideology—they were, at least on their face, about removing ideology from university policy altogether. Asking Harvard to comply with federal law as a condition of receiving taxpayer dollars is not unreasonable.

However, while the first round of demands focused on removing bias, the second veered into troubling territory. The call to assess and rectify viewpoint disparities introduces a paradox: to achieve ideological balance, Harvard would need to actively recruit individuals based on their political beliefs, a practice that violates the administration’s demand to eliminate “ideological litmus tests” and mirrors the very kind of affirmative action they oppose in racial contexts. This approach is not only impractical, it risks violating the principles of free inquiry the administration claims to defend.

As economist Thomas Sowell has long argued, disparities in outcomes—whether racial, ideological, or otherwise—do not automatically indicate discrimination. While it’s true that Harvard has discriminated on ideological grounds in the past, and likely still does, the appropriate response is to eliminate such discrimination—not to mandate proportional representation of political viewpoints. We rightly condemned Ibram X. Kendi’s assertion that “The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination.” Yet that is what the demand for viewpoint equity calls for.

If Harvard were to adopt merit-based hiring and admissions, as I believe it should, then whatever ideological distribution emerges should be accepted as legitimate. Forcing ideological diversity could lead to absurd scenarios, such as a biology department being compelled to hire Young Earth Creationists or Intelligent Design proponents to “balance” its evolutionary focus, even when such views lack scientific credibility. This would not only lower academic standards but risks creating a politicized environment where hiring decisions are driven by ideology rather than expertise, undermining the administration’s own stated goals.

Rather than submitting to either side’s ideological agenda, Harvard should publicly commit to merit-based hiring and admissions, free of both racial and ideological preferences. This would preserve its integrity without caving to external pressures to enforce any particular ideological outcome. Forcing ideological quotas erodes trust in academic institutions, stifles genuine debate by mandating artificial diversity, and invites government intrusion into areas where it truly doesn’t belong. It also risks driving away serious scholars who simply prioritize academic excellence over political signaling.

In short, the Trump administration is right to challenge race-based policies that violate the law and undermine merit. But it oversteps by attempting to micromanage ideological composition on campus. True intellectual diversity can’t be mandated from Washington. It emerges from a culture of open inquiry and fair processes that treat individuals as individuals—not as proxies for their race, sex, or political beliefs.

As Sowell reminds us, equality doesn’t mean equal outcomes; it means equal treatment. That principle should guide both federal policymakers and university leaders. And if we want our institutions to remain credible, we have to be willing to call balls and strikes on both sides.

You can't cure cancer with more cancer.

You can't solve DEI with more DEI.

Eliminate all race- and sex-based preferencing, eliminate "diversity statements" and all litmus tests. Fire the people responsible for implementing and enforcing these discriminatory policies, as well as anyone with a substantiated history of enforcing - or trying to enforce - their own ideological tenets (e.g. that sexism and racism are some kind of complex intersectional algebra). Make clear the standards and hold everyone to them equally.

Then let nature take its course. It may take a while, but it will rebalance on its own.

adobe is such a fucked company and i hate that it's the standard for most creative things

[the-everqueen]

you can't understand how crazy-making the academic job market is for me until you know that 90% of the music depts hiring are all white (despite the dept's stated "commitment to diversity") or else have one (1) Black male prof who teaches jazz (alternatively one [1] Black woman who is non-TT and shared among two other depts). if the directory includes more than two people of color it's a miracle.

[myimaginationplain]

This is a really well researched & presented video on Target's decline. Target's rolling back of DEI initiatives & the consumer boycott(s) that have followed are discussed at 35:45 (the chapter is marked in the video); the rest is preamble about the various ways Target was already pissing off their main customer base & losing money prior.

Apparently Target is rethinking being anti DEI because foot traffic in their stores has been declining for like 10 weeks straight and their stock has been dropping in unison and listen, I know a lot of this is probably because consumer spending goes down in general when the economy is unstable (tarrifs, mass federal gov layoffs etc.) but I think we should just keep running boycotts of different brands to convince them that they only make money when they're woke. I know we dunked on rainbow capitalism because it was cornball and performative but I don't even give a shit. These companies shouldn't be able to be openly pro-Trump and expect us to ignore it. They should not be allowed to bend the knee to racist, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, abelist, generally bigoted culture war bullshit without taking a hit to their bottom line. These billionaire dipshits wanted unfettered capitalism with a madman at the helm and they should not be allowed to enable that without feeling some of the hurt along with the rest of us. Make these corporate assholes think money is stored in the woke

[gameboyhamazing]

the power of acronyms is both stupid and terrifying because i have yet to see someone provide a good argument for why diversity, equity and inclusion are such terrible things and yet people sling around shit like “DEI hire” like it’s supposed to mean something genuinely bad without ever once acknowledging what the acronym stands for

What happens in California usually doesn’t stay in California — and that’s bad news for higher education. 

In his latest piece for the New York Times, Michael Powell catalogs just how extensively the Golden State’s universities have embraced mandatory diversity statements when hiring faculty. From junior college to prestigious research university, scientists and scholars throughout the state must demonstrate their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to remain in good standing.

By now, this should come as no surprise, but it is striking to see some of the most egregious ways the policy plays out. In 2016, the piece notes, at least five University of California (UC) campuses decided to initially screen faculty job applicants based only on diversity statements. For one large hiring initiative at UC Berkeley — the Life Sciences Initiative — the faculty search committee eliminated three-fourths of the applicant pool on the basis of diversity statements alone. Berkeley’s rubric for assessing diversity statements, moreover, dictates a low score for candidates who speak positively about diversity but in vague terms. Even more remarkably, it gives a low score to candidates who say they prefer to “treat everyone the same.” 

All of this is especially notable because of what California represents to American public higher education. Out of any state, California best embodies the American vision of universal higher education — its promises and perils.

In 1960, UC System President Clark Kerr spearheaded the “California Master Plan for Higher Education,” an attempt to modernise the state’s system of higher education. The Master Plan institutionalised a rigidly tiered system for California’s colleges and universities, reserving the UC system for the top 12.5% of the state’s graduating high school students, the California State system for the top 33.3%, and the California Community Colleges system for everyone else.

The plan captured the country’s strong faith in higher education, its aspiration to send virtually every young person to college. Kerr once jokingly quipped that the mission of the university is “to provide sex for the students, sports for the alumni, and parking for the faculty” — an amusing, and functionally accurate, description. 

No doubt, California set the example. Today, it remains a powerhouse; according to the U.S. News and World Report rankings, the UC system includes six out of the top 10 American public universities.

California still sets the tone for American higher education. And for that reason, we might add one more item to Kerr’s tongue-in-cheek summary of the university’s mission: “DEI initiatives for the administrators.” The trend Powell describes — whereby enthusiasm for DEI, whatever that might mean in practice, has become a virtual job requirement for scientists and scholars —has trickled down. 

Berkeley’s Life Sciences Initiative, for example, was designed to test whether universities could use a method known as “cluster hiring” to advance the goal of diversity. Basically, the approach involves hiring multiple faculty at once with a heavy emphasis on DEI. In a forthcoming National Association of Scholars report, I describe how DEI-focused cluster hiring has boomed since Berkeley undertook its Life Sciences Initiative.

In 2020, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center carried out a cluster hire — hiring researchers in cancer, infectious disease, and basic biology — which heavily weighed DEI contributions. In 2021, Vanderbilt University’s Department of Psychology undertook a cluster hire; it eliminated approximately 85% of its candidates based solely on diversity statements. And the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has allocated $241 million in grant money for cluster hires at universities around the country — with the condition that every search committee must require and heavily weigh diversity statements.

Berkeley’s rubric — the one that gives a low score to anyone who espouses race-neutrality — is likewise ubiquitous. Two of the universities receiving NIH money for cluster hires are the University of New Mexico and the University of South Carolina. Through a public records request, I acquired both universities’ rubric for assessing diversity statements, which was published earlier this year. Both universities use the Berkeley rubric verbatim.

As a consequence of these measures, trust in higher education will likely continue to fall, owing in part to a sense that some views are simply not tolerated. But DEI litmus tests do not merely diminish the public’s trust in higher education. They degrade higher education itself. Clark Kerr knew that the mission of the university isn’t sex, sports, or parking. It isn’t social justice, either. It’s the pursuit of truth, which, following California’s example, all too many universities seem to forget.

==

There are still some people who say stupid things like, "how can you be against equality and diversity?" Except, we all know at this point that these are ideologically-charged words. The rubrics themselves tell you that liberal principles of equality are unacceptable; rather, contested and ideological notions about the world. This makes "DIE statements" ideological loyalty oaths.

It would be like saying something stupid like, "what, are you not against people being bad and doing bad things?" when people object to making commitments and oaths against "sin."

Good Trans News Roundup! July 8, 2025

"North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein (D) has vetoed several anti-diversity bills, including one that would ban gender-affirming care for transgender inmates in the state prison system.

The bill is H.B. 805, which bans the state from paying for gender-affirming hormone replacement therapy and surgeries for transgender inmates. It would have also required the state to keep a copy of a transgender person’s original birth certificate if they have the gender marker on it updated, and it included language saying that there are only two genders, male and female...

The other three bills that Stein vetoed on Thursday [July 3, 2025] were related to diversity measures. One of the bills would have cut funding to schools that engage in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Another bill would have banned diversity training and staff positions at state agencies, and it also would have banned state funds from being used for diversity initiatives at those agencies."

"A three-judge panel for the Ohio Tenth District Court of Appeals ruled that gender-affirming care for minors constitutes an essential medical treatment for trans youth and that the ban on gender-affirming care is in violation of a state constitutional amendment. Originally passed by Republicans to undermine Obamacare, the amendment is now being used to prevent federal or state intervention in denying any form of essential healthcare...

In a smart move, the plaintiffs argued that gender-affirming treatment be considered essential medical treatment, pointing to the numerous medical studies proving its effectiveness in treating gender dysphoria and improving the mental health and well-being of transgender adolescents. For that reason, they argued, it should protected under Ohio’s Health Care Freedom Amendment.

...In [passing the constitutional amendment], they inadvertently gave Ohioans broader constitutional protections around healthcare because the amendment prohibits any law from banning “the purchase or sale of health care or health insurance” or even imposing a fine on such purchases."

"Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) vetoed three anti-transgender bills passed by her state’s Republican legislators. Though the bills passed largely along party lines, Republicans are unlikely to override Hobbs’ veto since their numbers in the state House and Senate fall short of the required two-thirds majority votes needed to do so. Arizona is largely considered a red state...

Of the three bills, H.B. 2438 would have prevented any gender marker changes on people’s birth certificates (even if they underwent gender-affirming surgeries), S.B. 1694 would have denied funding to any college or university teaching about “gender identity,” and H.B. 2062 would have ended all legal recognition of trans people in the state...

Transgender journalist Erin Reed noted that, in 2023, Hobbs signed executive orders requiring state employee healthcare plans to cover trans-related gender affirming surgeries, extending LGBTQ+ anti-discrimination protections to state employees and contractors, and banning conversion therapy, the widely debunked pseudoscientific practice of attempting to change someone’s gender identity or sexual orientation. Republicans threatened to sue her over the anti-discrimination protections..."

"An anti-trans measure in US president Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act has been dropped at the last minute in a small victory for the LGBTQ+ community. 

The legislation struck the ban on Medicaid coverage for gender-affirming care after the Senate parliamentarian found it did not comply with the Byrd Rule.

Named after Senator Robert Byrd, the Byrd Rule aims to prevent irrelevant matters from being included in budget reconciliation legislation...

In earlier drafts, the so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill” included a provision that would have ended Medicaid payments for “gender transition procedures” for people of all ages, and introduced narrowly rigid definitions of “sex,” “female,” and “male” that some experts believe would have far-reaching implications, beyond access to healthcare. However, amid a flurry of revisions and amendments, the controversial ban on gender-affirming care was removed shortly before Senate Republicans voted to pass the legislation on Tuesday. 

Though there are many other aspects of the bill that will severely limit millions of Americans’ access to healthcare, trans rights advocates see the removal of the ban on Medicaid coverage of gender-affirming care as a win. [Note: Over 20% of trans people are on Medicaid Source]

"Billie Butler, a transgender woman who ran for the New Hampshire House of Representatives as a Democrat, defeated her opponent, Republican Ken Hilton, in a special election held this past Tuesday. Butler won with 964 votes to Hilton’s 774. Butler will be representing the Strafford 12 district.

Strafford 12 is a multi-member district in Strafford County, consisting of two towns: Rollinsfield and Somersworth. Of the registered voters in the districts, 33% identify as Democrats, 27% identify as Republicans, and 41% are unaffiliated...

According to this map created by independent journalist Erin Reed, New Hampshire is a high-risk state for legislation that could harm transgender people... For this reason, Butler’s win is considered a step towards increased trans representation in politics."

"Delaware’s Democratic governor on Friday signed an executive order protecting recipients and providers of gender-affirming care in the state.

The order, signed by Gov. Matt Meyer at an LGBTQ+ community center in Rehoboth, makes Delaware a “shield state” for trans people and bans state agencies from providing “medical records, data or billing information, or utilizing state resources” that could help any criminal or civil investigation against someone receiving or providing gender-affirming care.

California, New York, and 12 other states, and Washington, DC, have similar protections for trans people and their medical providers. Residents, along with patients traveling to shield states, can receive care without fear of retribution.

“In Delaware, we cherish privacy, dignity and the right to make personal medical decisions,” Meyer said at the signing ceremony. “Everyone deserves the freedom to access healthcare rooted in science and compassion.”"

"The number of out LGBTQ+ elected representatives in the U.S. rose in the last year, continuing a steady upward trend that has lasted through the Trump era, according to a new report.

On Tuesday, the LGBTQ+ Victory Institute released its annual Out for America report, which tracks the number of out LGBTQ+ elected representatives nationwide and at all levels of government. This year’s report showed an overall 2.4% increase in out LGBTQ+ representation between June 2024 and May 2025 and a 198% increase since the organization, which provides training and support for out candidates, first launched the report in 2017 (during President Donald Trump’s first term in office).  

“This year’s Out for America report shows the resilience of our LGBTQ+ elected leaders,” LGBTQ+ Victory Institute President and CEO Evan Low said in a statement. “Despite hateful rhetoric plaguing the 2024 election cycle, LGBTQ+ elected officials won at the ballot box and made history.” ...

According to the 2025 report, the number of out LGBTQ+ elected officials of color rose by nearly 7% since last year. The number of out Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) elected officials grew the most (32.6%), while the number of multiracial officials increased by 28.6%, and the number of Black representatives grew by just over 4%. LGBTQ+ Latinx representatives remain the largest non-white group of out elected officials, holding steady at 193, the same as last year’s total..."

"The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Yeztugo (aka. lenacapavir or LEN), a twice-a-year injection that stops HIV from replicating inside cells, thereby reducing the risk of transmitting the virus to other people by 96%. HIV advocates hope it will help reduce national transmission rates because the medication is easier to take than the many current once-a-day medications.

“This is the single best opportunity in 44 years of HIV prevention,” said Mitchell Warren, executive director of the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition (AVAC), an HIV advocacy nonprofit group, according to NBC News. The FDA approved the drug after Gilead Sciences, the drug’s developer, found it to be overwhelmingly successful early into Phase 3 clinical trials last September.

“The approval of LEN is a much-needed boost for HIV prevention, given the strength of the science and the simultaneous disruption in HIV programs globally,” Warren added."

Sona Dey Denies Viral MMS Video as Fake, Accuses Defamation

Social media influencer and YouTuber Sona Dey has denied allegations surrounding an MMS video, claiming to feature Dey in an embarrassing position, that has been circulating widely online. The video sparked controversy on social media platforms.

[wilwheaton]

His statement that DEI was basically to blame for the Washington, D.C., plane crash was, of course, intentional; no doubt uttered to push this idea into the media maw so that it got talked about and argued over at the expense of conversations about the fact that he dismissed that aviation safety board or that Elon Musk bullied the holdover Federal Aviation Administration head out the door. Mainly, however, he wanted to get more Americans to start thinking in the MAGA way: that any instance of sloppiness, inefficiency, or incompetence can be laid at the feet of liberal diversity initiatives. Oh, and by the way—the kinds of diversity initiatives that he railed against Thursday for weakening the FAA? They were put in place in 2019, under President Trump.

But by far, the reality is that a broad consensus exists that diversity is a good thing that has enriched society.

Trump is moving with gobsmacking speed against this consensus on many fronts.

₊˚⊹♡ comparing hands with Fyodor

❥ a!! i really want to get on vgen, and to be accepted i'd need 100 likes and 5 unique comments... please help a girlie out.....

❥ my vgen is vgen.co/lemoncrunch !!

It does not take a genius to notice that Fyodor's hands are pretty. It's a purely objective statement, or so you like to claim — his skin is pale to the point of shimmering with translucence, blue veins prominent, and his fingers are long and thin, knuckles protruding.

They're on display for you whenever he plays the cello, holding the bow and allowing it to glide over the strings, the motion elegant purely in itself, yet underlined by the music filling the room. The deep notes entrance you, willing you to step inside the room, warm with the fire place crackling just a few metres away despite the frost biting at the window panes, and just watch.

Despite the wonderful show of his obvious musical talent, your attention keeps flickering to his hands, to the way his fragile wrist flexes. It's no wonder you get curious — and even less of one that he's well aware of your fascination. Lilac eyes move towards you ever so often, observing you observing him, and it's only a matter of time until he puts the cello down, focus now on you.

“Is there something on your mind?” he asks, amusement faintly veiled, and you quickly nod.

“May I see your hands?”

You're glad he's this agreeable when it comes to indulging your every whim.

Moments later, you're perched up on the arm of the sofa, towering just a bit over him, and your palms are pressed together flat. His skin is cold to the touch, always a bit of a surprise, and, apart from the callouses on his fingers, smooth.

Pale lips twitch into a smile, Fyodor's eyebrows raised in humour. “And what exactly are you hoping to see?”

“Just our hands.” An unsatisfactory response, certainly, so you quickly tack on: “I don't really know, I merely like yours a lot. They're very pretty. At first I just wanted to look at them up close, but then I wanted to see how ours look together, you know? To see how they compare.”

He hums in response, soft. “And how do they compare?”

You squint a little. His fingers surpass yours, long and boney, and despite the gentle moment, you can't quite suppress a faint line of thoughts, asking yourself how they'd feel touching you anywhere else, ghosting over your skin, pushing inside of you. Quickly, you blink, forcing those fantasies away to indulge in another time.

“You're still biting your nails”, you say instead, tone scolding.

Fyodor huffs out a small chuckle. “Guilty as charged.”

“I told you that's a bad thing to do. They'll never grow strong when you keep doing that.”

“An old habit, I suppose. I need them to be short in order to play the cello, anyway.” Loose strands of black hair fall in front of his eyes when he shifts. Your hands are still pressed flush against each other's. “Are you done comparing?”

“I guess so.” Before he's able to pull away, you weave your fingers between his, clasping his hand in yours, smiling, victorious. “This was all a plan to trick you into holding hands, though. And you fell for it.”

You really can't tell if his surprise is genuine or faked — truthfully, you suspect the latter, though even that effort of his makes your chest feel warm inside —; his eyes widen before he exhales, allowing himself to dramatically slump against the sofa's backrest.

“It appears I did. Blame a man for letting his guard down around his beloved.”

i gently slide into your asks /j

HI RIRICAKES, GOODMORNIGHT!! (U mentioned it's midnight there LMAO, and also u're probably asleep rn but I'll drop a request for you!!)

so I've recently read your Mydei fanfic with a shy reader, I suddenly have this idea that popped into my head!

may I request Mydei with a shy reader who thought they were drinking juice but it turned out to be alcohol and got drunk to the point they start confessing to mydei everything they like about him and asking him if he could be their boyfriend? (insert shocked mydei bcs that's his first time seeing them drunk, and he's so used to their shy demeanor) too drunk to even realize that he's already their fiance. (You can also add the part where they wake up the next morning with a headache, asked Mydei what happened and almost died from embarrassment after he spills everything!)

I love silly and fluffy fanfics, so I thought about requesting this LMAO

huggies and kissies from me to u! (⁠ ⁠˘⁠ ⁠³⁠˘⁠)⁠♥

ur silliest supporter and friend,

seraphie🩷

that’s not juice…-mydei x (implied shy!) reader

synopsis: you’re just a girl (gn) who thought you were drinking juice. it was not juice…

warnings: reader drinking alcohol/mentions of alcohol consumption! 

word count: 283

author’s note: Seraphie, thank you for sending in another request, hopefully this is what you wanted! feel free to send more requests in hehe! hope you enjoy, sending hugs and kisses! <3

taglist: @axolotsofluv, @strwbrydreamz, @sqgeism, @vyyper, @your-sleeparalysisdem0n, @cmiru, @unriding, @sheyfu, + @m1ckeyb3rry! lmk if you’d like to be added to the taglist!

this pomegranate juice tastes weird, funny even. but not in a bad way. the party the Chrysos Heirs were throwing was fun, though! turns out this is, in fact, alcohol; so that's fun! oohh there’s Mydei! 

“Mydeiiii,” you slurred. your fiancé turns and faces you a bit quizzically. 

“hi, (name),” he replies.

“hic, mydei! you’re so cool and awesome and hic smart. i realllyyyyyy like you a lot. will you be my boyfriend?” god, you’re so far gone, and Mydei can’t help the smile that’s starting to form on his face. he was surprised to see you, though. your shy nature typically restricted you from being the most transparent with him. you were very sweet, just a bit on the quiet side. but that was nothing Mydei didn’t love about you.

“(name), love, i’m your fiancé,” he replies to you after you latch yourself onto one of his arms. you gasp in shock, not believing what he’s saying. 

“no way! hic are you being serious?”

“very serious, come. let’s get you some water and some medicine.” he says as he guides you away from the festivities. 

the next morning rolls around, and god, the hangover and headache are awful right now. you wake up next to your fiancé who was staring at your peaceful form. 

“...dei, what happened?” you ask.

“you were quite a joy last night. you came up to me and asked me to be your boyfriend and when i told you we were engaged, you gasped and clung to me the rest of the night.”

yeah, you might jump off the nearest cliff with that statement. note to self: always check to make sure it’s pomegranate juice and not alcohol…

This is the man that founded the company where helicopter pilot, Rebecca Lobach’s mother works…

Nothing to see here 👇

Rebecca Lobach was still in ROTC training in 2018.

How is she flying government continuity missions in a Blackhawk in Washington DC 6 years later as a captain? And how did she afford a $520,000 house two years into the military? 👇

Rebecca Lobach, involved in DCA crash, served as a White House social aide under Biden.

She escorted Ralph Lauren through the White House when he was among those awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by former fake President Joe Biden. 👇

This is a screen grab from the FAA’s Airman registry which is available to the public it shows that Rebecca Marie Lobach did not currently hold an FAA medical which is required to have military certificates converted over to FAA certificates meaning she lost her medical…? 👇

Not sure what she ‘destroyed’.. but she doesn’t look fit to me! 👇

A statement from:

Art Halvorson @ArtHalv....

As a former military instructor, I'll tell you that Rebecca Lobach in NO WAY should have been the pilot in command on that flight.

500 hours in 5 years is Inconceivable! 👇

I think there’s more to this tragic incident than DEI hiring, but it was because of DEI policies that Rebecca was on board that helicopter and there are now 67 people dead. 🤔
