International women's day is coming up soon....and I'm so fucking angry about it.

It's a farce of a day.

Men take the day to post photos of their wives/sisters/mothers/daughters before going straight back to watching videos of trafficked women and girls being raped online (pornhub).

Before going back to toxic chat groups and sharing their most normalised and vile thoughts on women with one another, or asking for tips on how to sedate and rape them (telegram).

Before going back to their jobs where women are usually paid less than them for the same work, and talking about how difficult and bossy 'Karen' is for having the backbone to set her own boundaries and not laugh at their unfunny jokes.

Unless you're posting a receipt of money you've donated to a women's organisation, I don't want to fucking hear it.

I don't want to see your pictures of your exhausted wife who does all the house work after coming home from her job, I don't want to see photos of your daughter that you're already talking over and down to in comparison to your sons.

Hold your gross fucking friends accountable for the vitriol they spread or sit down and shut up.

Not to long ago we used to put the female victims of extremist terrorism on the cover of magazines to call attention to the harm that is being done to women around the world. Either times have changed or maybe just the type of victim? 

Rather than giving an award, honor and recognition to a victims of horrible and brutal terrorism, they are giving award and honor to the photo glorifying those who r@ped, mur.dered and dragged her through the streets of Gaza to be spit on by Gazans.

Have times really changed this much, or is it just that the victim in this case is somehow less worthy of honoring and remembering because of where she lived and her religion?

Ramona

My first OC that I've made out of spite XD. Say hello to Ramona.

Lore: She was born into a Christian fundamentalist family who wanted her being a dedicated husband and politician, just like all the other men in her family. 

Once she came out at trans, her family disowned her. She eventually met, befriended, and became roommates with a pink reindeer named Peanut. Eventually she was finally able to transition. Through hard work, perseverance, and support from her new found family, she accomplished her true dream of becoming a professional fashion designer. Now she travels the world attending runway shows and her clothing brand in known world wide. 

Her design was inspired by this Bath & Bodyworks hand sanitizer key chain.

petition: Charge the Ohio police for killing a pregnant Black woman!

Hmmmm. In some states killing a pregnant woman is a double homicide. Does that apply when the police are the murderers?

The DEI Deception: How This Administration Tricked America Into Bringing Back Legal Discrimination

Feb 9, 2025 © By: Ki Lov3 

This article uncovers The Truth Behind DEI and Affirmative Action. And How This Administration is Using Propaganda to Mislead the Public.

In recent years, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives have become a major political battleground. The current administration and conservative politicians have successfully equated DEI with Affirmative Action, a policy that was widely debated and ultimately ruled unconstitutional in some cases, particularly in college admissions. However, while Affirmative Action and DEI are not the same, the administration has weaponized this confusion to justify eliminating DEI programs.

This article breaks down:

What DEI actually is and why it differs from Affirmative Action.

Why do politicians even avoid saying “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” but attack “DEI.”

The misleading claim that removing DEI ensures "the right person gets the right job."

Who is now legally at risk for discrimination with DEI being dismantled.

1. DEI vs. Affirmative Action: What’s the Difference?

The idea that DEI and Affirmative Action are interchangeable is one of the most widespread misunderstandings, propagated by this administration and other media personalities. They aren't. Affirmative action was a policy that occasionally gave marginalized groups preference in employment and admissions in an effort to address historical discrimination. In certain instances, this implied that a person's gender or ethnicity might be a determining factor in their entrance to education or employment, giving rise to allegations that some less competent applicants were passed over for scholarships. Due to this impression and legal issues, it eventually declined and was dismantled in several sectors. DEI does not, however, enforce racial employment biases or quotas. Instead, it focuses on creating inclusive workplaces, removing systemic hiring barriers, and ensuring equal access to opportunities for people of all backgrounds. 

Companies using DEI initiatives work to broaden their hiring pools, train employees to recognize bias, and create policies that promote fairness. DEI, unlike Affirmative Action, does not require companies to hire or promote people based on race or gender. Instead, it ensures qualified candidates from all groups have a fair chance at opportunities. The administration's deliberate effort to confuse these two policies has led many to believe that DEI is simply Affirmative Action with a new name, making it easier to justify removing workplace diversity efforts under false pretenses.

2. Why Politicians Say “DEI” But Avoid “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion”

A key propaganda strategy used by politicians and media figures is to say “DEI” instead of “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.” This is intentional. The first reason is extremely obvious: no one wants to be the person to tell the public they are cancelling Diversity, Equality and Inclusion protections. In the land founded by immigrants, who fought against foreign rulers to have a democratic government- run by the people for “WE THE PEOPLE “. That would be just, hypercritical to America and the world.

By using only the acronym, the administration also:

Avoid explaining what DEI actually does, because most people support workplace fairness.

Make DEI sound like a bureaucratic problem, rather than a policy that benefits all workers.

Suggest DEI is just Affirmative Action rebranded, even though they are fundamentally different.

This tactic is part of a broader culture war strategy—reducing complex issues into attackable soundbites. Instead of explaining why DEI exists, politicians use the acronym in a negative light, just like they did with "CRT" (Critical Race Theory) or "woke ideology." The goal is to create emotional reactions rather than factual discussions.

If politicians honestly explained that DEI is about creating fair hiring practices, improving workplace culture, and ensuring that bias doesn’t prevent qualified people from getting jobs, it would be harder to rally public outrage against it. That’s why they simply say “DEI” and attach it to every negative stereotype possible.

3. The False Claim That Eliminating DEI Ensures "The Right Person Gets the Right Job"

One of the most common political talking points is that removing DEI ensures that "the right person gets the right job." This is a misleading and inaccurate claim designed to manipulate public perception.

The only time this statement was true was in certain cases of Affirmative Action, where race-based preferences sometimes led to less-qualified candidates being placed in positions over more-qualified candidates. However, DEI does not function this way.

DEI does not force companies to hire unqualified individuals. Instead, it:

Broadens access to job opportunities for all qualified candidates, including those who historically faced hiring discrimination.

Encourages companies to eliminate biased hiring practices, such as rejecting candidates due to name, gender, or background.

Provides leadership training and mentorship to underrepresented employees, ensuring talent is recognized and developed.

When DEI programs are eliminated, it does not mean the most qualified person will get the job—it often means:

Companies will go back to hiring the same people from their traditional networks, excluding diverse perspectives.

Bias will go unchecked, leading to hiring based on familiarity rather than skill.

Fewer opportunities for marginalized groups to advance, even if they are just as qualified as their peers.

The notion that eliminating DEI will increase hiring equity on its own is untrue; rather, it will probably result in a return to exclusion, gatekeeping, and workplaces that do not represent the variety of the workforce.

4. Who Can Legally Be Discriminated Against Now That DEI is Being Eliminated?

One of the most serious repercussions of abolishing DEI policies is that it removes legal protections that helped maintain justice in hiring, education, housing, and public services. With DEI disbanded, the following groups now face increased legal discrimination:

Employment Discrimination

✅Women may now face wider pay gaps and fewer promotion opportunities without diversity policies to ensure fair advancement.

✅LGBTQ+ employees can be legally fired or denied jobs for their identity in certain states.

✅Racial minorities may find themselves shut out of hiring pools, as businesses are no longer incentivized to recruit diverse talent.

Housing & Public Services (HUD, Healthcare, etc.)

✅LGBTQ+ individuals and families can now legally be denied housing by landlords in certain states.

✅Survivors of domestic violence—primarily women—could find it harder to secure safe housing protections.

✅Disabled individuals may see reduced access to reasonable workplace accommodations, making employment harder to secure.

Education & Scholarships

✅Minority students are seeing diversity-based scholarships removed, making higher education less accessible.

✅Women in STEM programs are losing funding that was designed to help address gender gaps in male-dominated fields.

By dismantling DEI, this administration has opened the door for businesses, landlords, and institutions to revert to discriminatory practices under the guise of “fairness.”

Why This Matters

By intentionally misrepresenting DEI, this administration has convinced many Americans that removing DEI will improve hiring fairness—when in reality, it will only reinforce old discriminatory patterns.

Key Takeaways:

DEI and Affirmative Action are NOT the same.

Politicians avoid saying “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” because the majority of Americans do support fairness.

Removing DEI does not ensure fair hiring—it ensures companies can return to bias-based hiring.

President Biden on Friday declared that he considers the Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution “the law of the land,” a surprising declaration that does not have any formal force of effect, but that was celebrated by its backers in a rally in front of the National Archives.

Commonwealth of PA supports women's rights. Republicans want government to intrude in an area where they have no business. Some want to even ban birth control - how 1970's of them.

All to garner votes from the Christian right.

You can bet if their mistress or underage daughter became pregnant they'd be the first to secretly seek out abortion. Hypocrites

[its-suanneschafer-author]

Continuing my review and summarizing of Project 2025, the GOP 2024 platform, and Trump’s Agenda 47.

1) Trump denies knowledge of Project 2025, a radical conservative Christian manifesto, yet many of his present and former advisors wrote the 900 page document which is a blueprint for the new GOP president starting from day one with massive, sweeping actions that will not only paralyze the government but will ensure chaos for years to come. It is the most detailed look at a future Trump presidency. Trump’s name is mentioned 268 times in the document, so it was certainly written with him in mind. Trump instituted 64% of the policy recommendations that were put out in the 2016 conservative mandate, a blueprint for the Trump administration and which was as right-wing and conservative as the current Project 2025.

2) Agenda 47 collects formal policies Trump plans to put into effect, many of which rely on executive orders and significant expansion of his executive powers. In 2023, Trump campaign officials stated that Project 2025 aligns well with Agenda 47.

These policies include:

A) restriction of Chinese ownership of US infrastructure

B) End the “Biden war” on US energy by eliminating every regulation that hampers domestic production, getting out of the Paris Agreement, and giving fast approval to every oil infrastructure project that comes before his administration 

C) Baseline tariffs on most foreign goods, revoking Chinese Most Favored Nation trade status

D) Decrease trade deficits

E) Not bailing out failing banks, slashing regulations, and repealing Biden’s tax hikes to reduce inflation

F) The Trump Reciprocal Trade Act will tariff other countries’ imports at the same rate they tariff our exports. NB: The costs of these tariffs will be passed on to consumers and will cause more harm than good

G) Gut Biden’s Green New Deal policies and electric cars initiative, and terminate all emission regulations on cars, fossil fuels, etc

H) Dept of Education

1—Cut federal funding for any school or program teaching critical race theory or gender ideology by removing the radicals who have infiltrated the Dept of Education. 

2—Keep men out of women’s sports. 

3—Create a new way to certify teachers based on their patriotism and give preferential treatment to schools that abolish teacher tenure, abolish DEI, and adopt direct election of school principals by parents. 

4—Pursue federal civil rights cases against schools that engage in “equity” by taxing up to the entire amount of their endowment

5—Restore parental rights to control their child’s education; allow parents to hire and fire principals and teachers.

6—Bring back school prayer NB: This includes reading the Bible but doesn’t include any teachings of other religions

7—Allow teachers to carry concealed weapons at school 

8—Immediate expulsion and sentencing to reform school of any student who harms another student or a teacher or use or possession of drugs at school

9—The US government will issue bachelor’s degrees to those who did not finish their degrees by creating a new educational institution aimed at competing with schools already in existence. NB: This is from the man who owes fines from the failure of his own for-profit college.

I) Reinterpret presidential powers so that he has greater control of the government in the White House

(the unitary executive theory).

1—Dismantle the “deep state” and revamp every aspect of the US government. NB: These policies could upset the balance of power between the three branches of the federal government and provoke a constitutional showdown by usurping congressional authority and cutting out any program he doesn’t like or whose proponents have angered him. This is a fascist plan

2—Prevent World War III and end the Russian invasion of Ukraine. NB: The fact that he has buddied up to Putin makes this highly unlikely.

3—Overhaul the entire US defense and intelligence bureaucracies

4—Ask Europe to refund the money we spend to rebuild the stockpiles we sent to Ukraine. NB: Good luck with that

J) Keep Medicare and Social Security intact. NB: Every single congressional Republican—and 43 Senate Republicans—sided with Big Pharma over the American people and blocked an amendment that would cap out-of-pocket insulin costs at $35 for millions of Americans on private insurance. Thus, Big Pharma and the rich get richer at the cost of the health and lives of the poor. In March 2024, the Republican Study committee which represents 100% of House Republican leadership and 80% of their members proposed yet another budget that would cut the following by $4.5 trillion over 1-0 years: Medicare (transition Medicare to a premium support system that would raise premiums for many seniors), Social Security ($1.5 trillion in cuts) , the Affordable Care Act, the Children’s Health Insurance Initiative and increase prescription drugs (removing $35 insulin), energy and housing costs while raising the retirements age plus forcing $5.5. trillion in tax cuts for the very rich.

K) Immigration policy

1—Ban birthright citizenship 

2—End welfare for illegal immigants

3—Massive deportation of immigrants

L) Inflation

1—Build “Freedom Cities” on undeveloped federal land to lower cost of buying a home

2—Build vertical takeoff and landing vehicles

M) Shatter the left-wing censorship regime

L) Law enforcement

1—Increase investment in police personnel, stop illegal drugs

2—Death penalty for drug dealers and human traffickers

3—Overhaul federal standards on disciplining minors

4—Concealed carry reciprocity

M) DEI

1—Abandon DEI, terminate any offices, staff, and initiatives connected to DEI

2—Focus on anti-white racism rather than discrimination against people of color

N) Transgender and LBGQI+ rights: Terminate all gender affirming care at any age and terminating federal funding for any hospital or healthcare provider that participates in it

“Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.”

Today in 1972, the U.S. Senate passed the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), sending the legislation to the states for ratification. For an amendment to officially become part of the U.S. Constitution, at least three-fourths of the states must vote to adopt it. 

In January 2020, Virginia became the 38th state to ratify the ERA — and members of the Congressional Caucus for the ERA are still working to officially recognize and publish it as the 28th Amendment.
