1/ There are two Executive orders that enabled the DEI take over the US government
These orders gave DEI activists the power to implement their ideology, and understanding how this works is key to getting woke ideology out of government
Woke takeover of government:
A Thread🧵
2/ The first order was signed by President Obama.
It orders the Office of Personnel Management and the Deputy and the Office of Management and Budget to establish a coordinated Government-wide initiative to promote diversity and inclusion in the Federal workforce.
3/ This means that Obama's order requires that people within ever government agency are hired specifically to do DEI.
Obama's order has another provision which *requires* the Chief Human Capital Officer of each agency to ensure DEI is implemented at their agency:
4/ This is important for two reasons. The first is that the Chief Human Capital officer is the one responsible for hiring, firing, and allocating job positions across and agency. This order allow Woke human capital officer to create positions specifically for DEI activists.
5/ To make matters worse, there is a thing called Chief Human Capital Officer Council which serves as the forum where CHCO's determine the best practices regarding Human Resources.
The CHCO Council made Diversity and Inclusion part of it's fundamental goals.
But it gets worse
6/ The Council of Chief Human Capital Officers posted a letter saying that they actually *CELEBRATE* the diversity order, and one time they even decided to mark the anniversary of it's signing.
The people in charge of government hiring are completely captured by woke ideology.
7/ The second EO was a Diversity Equity, and Inclusion EO that was signed by Joe Biden
This EO adds such ideas as "equity" and "racial justice" to the list of things that the government is suposed to do.
It is adding concepts from wokeness to the responsibilities of government.
8/ The EO basically defines underserved communities in terms of Race, gender and sexual orientation; thereby bringing in all the identity politics machinery that is made use of by Woke activists, and allowing them the hire on the basis of Race and Gender instead of Merit.
9/ This Biden EO then expands the Scope of the Obama EO to include "equity" and "accessibility" alongside diversity and inclusion.
The EO also requires ever agency to Advance Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
This is the Obama EO in steroids.
10/ The Biden EO is say that it want all agencies to have a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion officer, which the EO itself says, and this is key **is distinct from and equal employment officer**
They are not looking for equal opportunity they are looking for DEI **outcomes**
11/ This means that the Biden EO contains withing it an EXPLICIT move away from Merit and toward equal outcomes based on identity.
The EO also requires more DEI training that teach about "systemic racism." They are embedding woke ideology into the fabric of government.
12/ The effect of these EO's is to create an apparatus within each government agency that is dedicated to hiring woke activists, and using the human resources departments to make sure that only people who bend their knee to DEI principles are hired to work in government.
13/ That means these EO's essentially establish a de facto political criteria for determining who gets the first shot at any government job.
This is,obvious political discrimination and it is very likely to result in illegal racial and gender discrimination against white men.
14/ Finally, the Biden EO establishes that the Federal Government and the Military must cover and pay for "gender Affirming care" for their employees.
This means that the military and federal government are funneling enormous amounts of money into the gender medical insustry...
15/ If you want to see just how awful the Gender Medical Industry is, and see what the federal government is funding because of the Biden EO, you can see this video from @ChoooCole, where she tells what this industry did to her.
@ChoooCole 16/
All of that was caused by two EO's:
1. Executive Order 14035: Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in the Federal Workforce
2.Executive Order 13583: Establishing a Coordinated Government-wide Initiative to Promote Diversity and Inclusion in the Federal Workforce
17/
If Americans are going to have any shot at taking their government back, President Trump is going to have to win, and then repeal both the Obama Diversity and Inclusion EO (EO 13583) and the Biden Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion EO (EO 14035)
/fin
PS/
Trump may also need to repeal Executive Order 13985: Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government as this order also embeds woke ideology in the fabric of government.

1. There is no such legal category as "hate speech" 2. You don't defeat ideas by banning them 3. Adopting a leftist frame ("hate speech" is leftist framing) is always a losing proposition.
The entire literature on hate speech was created by leftists, and is embedded with leftist assumptions. There is no way to appropriate that body of work without rehabilitating and legitimizing leftist arguments against free speech and in favor of censorship.
The reason the trans-movement is so nihilistic, violent, and unhinged is because it is postmodern, and the postmodern intellectual solvent it uses to dissolve the distinction between male and female also dissolves the distinction between good and evil.
The postmodern ideology of the transgender activists believes all values of any kind (moral, social, scientific, and epistemic) are just social constructs that have been constructed in alignment with the interests of the dominant ideology or ruling class.
so...
On this view the legitimacy of a given set of values is not a matter of fact, it depends on the interests of the people evaluating those values. As such the values of a society are a determined by which group has the power to embed it's interests in the social value structure...
People who celebrate the murder of their political opponents are not participating in the marketplace of ideas, they are encouraging deadly political violence by building a permission structure to legitimize and justify the murder of those they disagree with.
My freedom of speech means I get to clearly and succintly explain to the whole world that if you call for the assassination of your rivals this is not free speech, it is a direct incitement to political violence.
John Stewart Mill gave a famous example where he said that if someone claims corn dealers are starvering the poor this can be allowed if circulated through the press, but is not allowed when shouted in front of an excited mob assembled outside the house of a corn dealer....
1/ The Radical Left has used political violence to advance their cause for decades. What's new is the progressive left's professional class building a permission structure to justify the use of political violence
It's called Assassination Culture, and we need to talk about it
🧵
2/ To understand what's happening, you need to understand that the line between progressive-left professional class and radical left has been blurred. The extremist radical left and the socially progressive "bluesky left" are increasingly intertwined both socially and politically
3/ This is because many of the extremist radical from the 60's and 70' who advocated for, and participated in, the use of political violence have been welcomed into the mainstream institutions that are run by the progressive left professional class.
Look at the number of pro-athletes posting condolences about Charlie Kirk, and you'll see what a huge cultural figure he was.
He wasn't just famous in conservative circles, his clips debating college students were a loadbearing pillar of online political pop-culture
His willingness to calmly and politely debate all comers on any issue (at the very moment when cancel culture was strongest and people were afraid to say what they think) made him a sort of lovable internet folkhero.
He was an indelible piece of the online landscape.
Charlie was not quarantined to the "conservative ghetto" of online content; he broke contain and became a mainstream cultural figure.
Charlie became the cultural symbol of free debate, free speech, and settling differences in public with words
What he is describing here is the deconstruction of America as an ideal. The goal is to destroy America by subverting the conception of America as a force for good which sustains American confidence, and attacking the founding narrative from which America derives it's legitimacy.
They will try to redefine America in a way which subverts the legitimacy of America as a national project. They want to erase the current American narrative, and replace it with a new one which grants them the right to inherit America's wealth, power, prestige, and influence.
They will attack America the same way they attacked Universities: by undermining legitimacy, authority, and self-confidence by asserting that the whole project is just racism, colonialism, and oppression in disguise.
