The war on DEI is a smoke screen

Elon Musk and his allies have taken a slash-and-burn’ approach to the government and a “sledgehammer” to government institutions.

The term “ DEI ” has become a catchall for anything Musk and other MAGA insiders don’t like.

The war on DEI is a smoke screen; it’s an opportunity to unite various conservative factions under a single rallying cry.

Anti-immigrant groups like the Federation for American Immigration Reform have sought to end both the diversity visa lottery and abolish the 1965 Immigration Act .

Christopher Rufo , the Manhattan Institute fellow who led the campaign to oust Harvard president Claudine Gay , has pushed the narrative that DEI policies at Boeing are to blame for the company’s recent safety failures.

The work of slashing and burning the social safety net furthers the racialist right’s agenda.

Musk 's DOGE is staffed with people who pal around with white supremacists online and have expressed support for “eugenic immigration policies” Musk tried to explain away the posts as old jokes, but those are one in the same, aren’t they?.
