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.

Woke leftists think people's conscious beliefs are determined by their cultural environment, so whoever controls the content of the culture controls the consciousness of the masses.
They want to control culture so they can control thought, which is basically the game they're in.
They think everyones views are socially/culturally determined; programmed into them by social forces of which they are unaware. Of course, the leftists never think their own views are just culturally determined, or that they have been programmed to be leftists.
They think they have transcended the cultural programming and are now able to influence the culture, to move culture forward because they are critically aware (or have critical consciousness) which lets them see the development of culture and the source code of social reality.
1/ This quote from Chase Strangio (ACLU's transgender lawyer) is a nice example of how the woke left fully adopted the views of the 60's counterculture.
They really believe things like "being trans" are a threat to "the system," and cultural rebellion will lead to revolution.
2/ The woke left and the 1960's counterculture had the same underlying worldview that said the entire culture is a system of ideology that maintains power by brainwashing the masses and socially conditioning people to accept the legitimacy of "the system" and their place in it.
3/ For this reason they think things like reforming institutions and changing laws are trivial and superficial solutions because they accept the legitimacy of the institutions and rules created by "the system"
For this reason, a much deeper solution is needed...
Almost all of the MAGA base is with Trump and they support Israel over Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Iranian Mullah's.
The Israel obsessed crowd and their anti-Semitic fellow travelers are a tiny minority and their influence is a mirage.
2/ MAGA is 77 million Trump voters, almost none of them care about the ideas of the dissident right (alt-right, woke-right,) online influencers. Trumps base is not turning on him and siding with Iranian Islamic terrorists just so online influencers can own the Israeli's...
3/ Trump has his own ideas, and makes his own decisions.
The influencers, thinkers, and writers who think they get to set the agenda and use Trump as a vessel to accomplish their own agenda have no ideas what's going on. So let me help everyone out:
1/
The riots happening in LA are not organic or spontaneous.
They're designed to look chaotic to cover up the fact that they're well funded, exceptionally organized, and carried out by well trained activists using intelligent, highly developed tactics.
Here's a primer:
2/ First, notice the protestors have shields (pic 1)
These types of shields were used by the 2024 pro-Hamas rioters (pic 2), and 2020 BLM rioters (pic 3)
Each shield takes 3 hours to make, and activists spend all day making them (pic 4) That's not spontaneous, it takes planning
3/ Those shields are not cardboard signs. They are designed to *look* like cardboard signs.
They're in fact made of plywood and have metal handles (as seen in the pics below). They have a cardboard sign attached to the front to disguise the fact that they're made of wood.
In the Trump/Elon dispute Elon represents fiscal reality, Trump represents Political reality.
Elon knows the Unite States is headed toward financial collapse caused by its debt, Trump knows voters will never accept the spending cuts and tax hikes needed to solve the debt crisis.
Elon is correct that the United States 36 TRILLION dollar debt will eventually crush the American economy and eat it's budget.
Trump is correct that voters will never accept the tax hikes or spending cuts (especially social security and medicare cuts) needed to pay off the debt.
Elon is saying "The financial crisis is coming. Either we deal with it now or we will deal with the financial collapse of the American economy."
Trump is saying "We can only do what is politically possible. Voters refuse to elect congressmen who will make large cuts to spending"
I think society is returning to the desert of the real.
The social narratives which animated people's lives have lost their power and are dying, and the counter-movements they spawned will (eventually) die alongside them.
We are now living in a decaying hyper-reality...
Baudrillard said we're so saturated in representations and images from mass media (T.V., Movies, books, social media, etc) that images become more salient to us and matter more then the real world, so artificial representations become more "real" to us then actual reality itself.
The result, says Baudrillard is that what feel real to us, what feel immediately important, salient, and meaningful to us is whatever emerges from the ecosystem of artificial, curated, simulated, and manufactured representations produced by the vehicles of mass communication.
