Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
“Department of State contractors must certify that they do not operate any programs promoting DEI that violate any applicable anti-discrimination laws and...
Wow... what cucked language. Can't even comit to being anti-DEI with that carvout of "no DEI BUT only if the DEI program violates anti-discrimination laws".
What anti-discrimination laws? Whose anti-discrimination laws?
Also, anti-discrimination laws literally IS DEI!
Yeah, right?
the legal argument against DEI they're doing is that it discriminates against white men.
I'm thinking that adding the "any applicable anti-discrimination" part, it invalidates the claim that DEI is denying white cis men jobs. Now there's a legal back and forth that can happen where somebody wanting to kill a DEI program will have to argue doing things like "putting job postings where X minority community are likely to see them" somehow denying white people jobs first.
i mean it's all specious they're relying on intimidation and/or a ruling from the supreme court confirming unitary executive theory, not legitimate legal arguments
This is like that fine on chinese built container ships (98% are chinese)--companies will abandon the amerikan market
A senior banker in Paris said he was shocked by the letter. “It’s crazy . . . but everything is now possible. The rule of the strongest now prevails.”
Hasn't the EU being doing shit for a long time now? Strong arming companies abroad in the name of "human rights"?
The rule of the strongest now prevails
That's how it's always been... Just look at current events. Do these people live in alternate realities?

A jardin more exact
"L'Europe est un jardin, le reste c'est le jungle" 
: "Hey France....you know....those American pigmen hate you and your civilized culture. Vote Melechon and usher in the Sixth Republic free from evil America's influence!"
Do Frenchies get 9 Republics like cats get lives?
