/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/7 We secured a colossal victory for equality when Biden and his allies in Congress formally repealed a racially discriminatory farm loan-forgiveness program after we sued to have it declared unconstitutional.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

🚨BREAKING — New documents obtained by AFL reveal Biden’s DOJ weaponized federal law enforcement against parents at school board meetings despite warnings from FBI officials and the National Sheriffs’ Association. Image
AFL obtained the documents from the U.S. Department of Justice in its ongoing lawsuit over Attorney General Merrick Garland’s infamous October 4, 2021 memorandum targeting concerned parents at school board meetings.
On October 4, 2021 — the day the memo was released — FBI Deputy Assistant Director Jay Greenberg emailed the Office of the Deputy Attorney General, stating the FBI had “some concern.”

He requested “additional time to engage” before messaging about the infamous memo went out. Image

Judge John McConnell just issued a sweeping ruling blocking Trump’s immigration and asylum policies.

This is the same judge AFL exposed for failing to recuse from the Trump spending freeze case — despite previously leading a nonprofit that received $128M in federal funding.

🧵 Image
Judge McConnell served 18 years on the board of Crossroads Rhode Island.

His nonprofit received $128 million in government funding during that time.
Last year, Judge McConnell blocked President Trump’s spending freeze.

His nonprofit stood to receive millions more following his ruling to keep federal funds flowing through one of the plaintiff states.

DEI DEFEATED🚨

AFL challenged a Biden-era DEI framework embedded in a federal kidney transplant program. 

The Trump Administration just dismantled it.

No American should ever be denied a transplant because of their race. Image
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services just published a final rule stripping the Biden Administration’s DEI framework from the Increasing Organ Transplant Access (IOTA) Model.

One of the most aggressive attempts to inject race into organ transplantation is gone. Image
The IOTA Model was part of Biden’s “sweeping equity agenda” to confront the “unbearable human costs of systemic racism.”

It directed hospitals to create “Health Equity Plans” that sorted patients by race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status and implemented race-based interventions to alter transplant outcomes.

In a system where every organ can mean life or death, Biden’s answer was DEI.Image

🚨MARICOPA COUNTY ALERT —

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors appears to be attempting to undermine a court order, usurp Recorder Justin Heap’s authority, and keep voters in the dark about a faster way to vote.

AFL’s letter exposes what’s happening.

And it’s explosive. Image
The Board’s Elections Director, Scott Jarrett, has been going around Recorder Heap — cornering individual Recorder staff one-on-one and trying to lock in deals the recorder never authorized.

That’s not “good faith.”

That’s staff-shopping — and a deliberate attempt to manufacture facts on the ground and usurp authority the Superior Court just ruled belongs to the Recorder.Image
Recorder Heap has been crystal clear.

All binding agreements on election administration must go through him or his lawyer.

No more backdoor power grabs.

Everything goes through official channels.

AFL is calling on the FCC to press for TV ratings reform and require content warnings for gender identity and LGBTQ+ themes in children’s TV programs.

Parents deserve to know what their kids are watching.

The current system HIDES this information.

Here’s what we found.

🧵 Image
/2 AFL’s comment asks the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to press the TV Parental Guidelines Oversight Monitoring Board (TVOMB) to add content to warnings for any children’s TV programs with gender identity, same-sex relationships, or LGBTQ+ themes.
/3 The TV ratings system is BROKEN.

Shows rated TV-Y — designed for children ages 2 to 6 — are pushing transgender ideology and gender confusion with ZERO disclosure to parents.

No warnings. No descriptors. Nothing.

Parents are left completely in the dark.
