/1 @mcuban and others have suggested DEI policies in America do not constitute illegal race discrimination.

Nothing could be more untrue.

DEI employs illegal racial preferences, quotas, exclusions and glaring bigotry against whites, Asians and males.

Want receipts? Read on:
/2 We just filed a federal civil rights complaint against French pharma company, Sanofi.

The evidence strongly suggests Sanofi’s management has created a culture of systemic racism.

Sanofi’s “Diverse Slate Policy” requires the “Talent Acquisition team” for each role to present “a minimum of one person of color and one female in each slate presented to a hiring leader” to achieve “at least 50% diverse representation of 25% POC and 25% female representation.”Image
Image
/3 We filed another civil rights complaint against Macy’s.

Macy’s has a plan that explicitly instructs management to “[a]chieve more ethnic diversity by 2025 at senior director level and above, with a goal of 30 percent,” as well as to initiate a “12-month program designed to strengthen leadership skills for a selected group of top-talent managers and directors of Black/African-American, Hispanic-Latinx, Native American and Asian descent.”Image
Image
/4 We filed a lawsuit against Amazon for offering a $10,000 bonus to its delivery service partners- but only for those partners who are Black, Latino, or Native American. Whites and Asians are ineligible for this bonus.

This is a clear violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1866. Image
/5 We also sued Progressive Insurance for offering $25,000 grants to ten “black-owned small businesses to use toward the purchase of a commercial vehicle.”
Image
Image
/6 We filed a lawsuit against Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta, the Association of Independent Commercial Producers (AICP), and entertainment industry companies for engaging in racial discrimination.

Meta was producing a TV commercial with the ad agency BBDO and the production company Something Ideal, Inc. AICP’s members are responsible for 80-85% of all motion picture ads in the United States. The AICP created the Double the Line program, which creates extra positions on set only for “BIPOC” individuals.Image
/7 We secured a colossal victory for equality when Biden and his allies in Congress formally repealed a racially discriminatory farm loan-forgiveness program after we sued to have it declared unconstitutional. aflegal.org/major-victory-…
/8 We crushed the Biden Administration’s discriminatory relief program which awarded preferential treatment to select racial groups under the Restaurant Revitalization Fund. aflegal.org/biden-administ…
/9 Some programs even seek to distribute life-saving medical care based on race…

For example, Utah, Minnesota, and New Mexico rescinded their racist practice of distributing COVID-19 treatment based on race after we threatened legal action.
/10 Mars — the makers of M&M, Snickers, and other candy — openly touts its discriminatory quota "to increase racial minority representation among management in its U.S.-based consumer-packaged goods businesses by forty percent."

We filed a federal civil rights complaint against Mars last April.Image
Image
Image
/11 BlackRock has established “The BlackRock Founders Scholarship,” which unlawfully limits, segregates, and/or classifies applicants for employment based on race – a patent violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

We also filed a federal civil rights complaint against BlackRock for this illegal conduct.Image
/12 The list of companies engaged in this illegal, racist conduct goes on and on…

And we’re taking action against:

/13 All of these race-based programs and apparent quotas are illegal under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964: Image

/1🚨BREAKING: AFL SUES MARICOPA COUNTY TO STOP ILLEGAL ELECTION POWER GRAB🚨

Maricopa County is trying to unlawfully seize control of election operations in Arizona.

AFL just filed a lawsuit to stop this illegal election interference.

🧵👇 Image
/2 AFL filed the lawsuit against the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors on behalf of Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap.

The board is attempting to unlawfully seize control of election operations by refusing to give Recorder Heap the resources he needs to fulfill his statutory duty to administer elections.Image
/3 Arizona law requires the board to fully fund the recorder’s necessary expenses.

Despite this, the board recently passed a budget that permanently transfers the recorder’s key statutory duties to itself and underfunds the recorder’s office.

/1🚨UVA’s Board of Visitors voted to dismantle its DEI infrastructure.

Instead, UVA just rebranded.

When it failed to comply, DOJ demanded proof.

So AFL investigated — and found the truth:

Same people.
Same responsibilities.
Same agenda.
New titles.

We’ve got the receipts.🧵 Image
Image
/2 Christian West was UVA Darden’s “Senior Director of Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Recruiting.”

Now he’s the “Senior Director of Global Recruitment.”

Same bio.
Leverages the same DEI “partnerships.”
Same race-preferenced hiring practices. Image
Image
/3 Jannatul Pramanik was UVA’s “Associate Director, Global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in the Office of Admissions.”

Now she’s “Associate Director, Global Recruitment.”

Her role didn’t change.
The discrimination didn’t disappear.
Only the label did. Image

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL just sent a letter to DOJ exposing how the University of Virginia is disguising its discriminatory DEI infrastructure under a new lexicon of euphemisms to evade federal law.

The law is clear — and UVA is on notice.

DOJ is watching — and so are we.

🧵THREAD: Image
/2 On April 28, DOJ formally directed UVA to certify — “with precision and particularity” — that it had dismantled its discriminatory DEI programs to comply with federal civil rights law and President Trump’s Executive Orders.

UVA didn’t comply.

Instead, it formed a working group to “promote open inquiry” and build a “truly inclusive and welcoming community.”Image
/3 UVA has rebranded its discriminatory policies under new labels, using euphemisms like “Inclusive Excellence,” “Community Engagement,” and “Viewpoint Diversity.”

The names changed — but the substance didn’t.

“Inclusive Excellence” is the framework universities now use to disguise DEI — embedding unlawful preferences based on race, sex, national origin, and other protected traits into operations under the illusion of equity and belonging.Image

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL just moved to intervene in a major lawsuit to overturn an unlawful, decades-old, and race-based consent decree — and restore merit-based hiring in the federal government. Image
/2 For 44 years, a race-based consent decree has prohibited the federal government from using a standardized, merit-based exam to hire civil servants.

This is unconstitutional — and it must be overturned.
/3 In 1981, during the final days of the Carter Administration, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) entered into the Luevano consent decree, ending the use of a standardized written aptitude test in federal hiring.

Since then, OPM has failed to identify any test that satisfies the decree’s race-based requirements.

🔥 Unelected judges with apparent political agendas are blocking President Trump’s policies with “nationwide injunctions.”

These activist judges are abusing the judicial power and usurping the will of the people to sabotage the President’s America First mandate.

Here’s how 🧵 Image
President Trump faced over 64 injunctions in his first term — more than any president in history.

Now, it’s happening again. 

This isn’t a normal judicial process — it’s a full-scale judicial power grab to thwart the results of a valid election. Image
Less than 4 months into the second Trump Administration, the judiciary has already issued over 200 orders to halt the President’s agenda — including nearly 40 nationwide injunctions.

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL just filed a judicial complaint against Judge John McConnell, the federal judge blocking President Trump’s spending freeze.

He led a nonprofit set to gain millions from his ruling — a blatant conflict of interest and ethics violation.

He must be investigated. Image
/2 This complaint follows AFL’s explosive discovery that Judge McConnell continued to preside over a case despite a clear conflict of interest.

Now, AFL’s investigation has uncovered even more deeply concerning details…
/3 Judge McConnell is presiding over New York v. Trump, a lawsuit brought by 21 states and D.C. challenging President Trump’s temporary freeze on federal funding.

In February, he ordered taxpayer money to continue flowing to the states, including to Crossroads Rhode Island, where he served as a board member and board chairman over a span of nearly 20 years.Image
