I'm not a constitutional scholar, so this question might be elementary.

But in the "jurisdiction thereof" clause that they are challenging, if it's found certain people don't qualify, wouldn't that also mean they can't be charged with a crime? I.e. foreign diplomats?

There is no “DEI program” or “DEI hires” and white people know that. They KNOW it.

This is just an excuse for them to indiscriminately fire minorities and women
BREAKING NEWS:

Donald Trump orders all federal employees identified as DEI hires to placed on leave by 5pm.

The order is said to target trans federal employees and some people of Color.

This is arbitrary and evil. No other way to describe it.

UM ALSO.

Your health insurance company gets theirs guidelines on what to cover from
the CDC and the NIH.

They are salivating over this. Because if there’s no guidance, they may say “well we won’t cover that b/c it’s not necessary.”

It happens WAY more often than people think
Why should the public care about the freeze on the NIH? Aside from the need for scientific pursuits to make our society better…
-For every dollar we invest in NIH research, there is a $2.5 return.
-Research dollars help fund universities that employ non-academics. (1/)

Our obsession with convenience is one of the primary reasons we are in our current state.

No, I won't be explaining further.

Hey Black people, this is ONE THOUSAND PERCENT going to be used to argue that teaching of the Civil Rights Movement or history of our struggles in any copacity is unconstitutional.
SCOTUS announces it will hear whether or not LGBTQ inclusive education is unconstitutional.

Not great for LGBTQ people, and could be disastrous to teaching that we have a history and have existed alongside everyone else for centuries.

The TikTok ban is just racism and xenophobia. I've been involved with more data breaches from U.S. companies that foreign adversaries.
