It's the "little things" going unreported by the media...

My (black) friend just shared with me:

Something I haven't seen reported. To get "Minority Owned" Business status now I don't have to just certify I'm Black. The Trump administration now requires me to submit a narrative with specific examples of discrimination affecting my business entry/advancement.


This kind of crap relentlessly continues behind the scenes, unnoticed
No doubt, all pushed and guided by American Nazi Stephen Miller and his ilk

losing decades of experience and expertise and the little things that get people past barriers.

My grandchildren will grow up in a mean, corrupt and incompetent country. This is just stupid and so unnecessary..
so depressing.

When that horrible plane crash happened in January 2025 (when no fatal plane crashes happened during the Biden years) Trump blamed it on DEI and the press just let it go by.
