My bad, I meant only the terms ‘He’ ‘She’ and ‘Sex’ are now allowed. No ‘gender’, nothing else but ‘He’, ‘She’ as the categories for ‘Sex’ in any document or report we produce.

I’ll edit the message

It’s happened at my workplace, we all got the email today to remove any and all ‘gender ideology’

We tried nothin and we’re all out of ideas

Thanks for sharing. I sent some of this to some friends who still have a passing interest in the war. But that first comment on that southern article.

Why are comment sections of any article always full of the world’s most disgusting people.

Not certain if news worthy or not (re. Trump’s executive orders and US government contractors)

Just got a message from CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) about how all contractors and employees are to cease using anything related to gender in our files, documents, contracts, etc in order to defend against ‘gender ideology’. Only the use of ‘He’, ‘She’, and ‘Sex’ are allowed. We must remove any terms related to ‘gender ideology’ such as: Gender, Transgender, Inclusivity, and Nonbinary.

This is part of Trump’s Executive Order 14168. Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government (Defending Women). Also in this document is a mention that CMS won’t be sending a national message about their compliance with this executive order.

Reactionary and transphobic tirades like this one against ‘wokeism’, or this one

Being pro-NATO and pro-Ukraine

Coming out in defense of the Hong Kong protesters

Being a ‘communist’ that thinks ‘Stalinism’ is the “the worst ideological, political, ethical, social (and so on) catastrophe in the history of humanity,” I guess he prefers Hitler?

… just to name a few.

Things just happen. Nobody knows why. Some democracies are like lemons, they just go bad.

Wtf kind of argument is that. Defending the imaginary that fascism is efficient and reliable to deny that Elon is a fascist. Wow, nice burn.

“Real Nazis make trains run on time.”

Before I saw your comment I had just deleted a spam text message on my phone that claimed to be an “old friend” wanting to catch up on WhatsApp. I’m not an important journalist, or person, but it was extra spooky after seeing that article.

So yeah, deleting WhatsApp now.

Typical American geography skills. Africa’s a country and Canada’s a state.

Yes, but China would have just had their firefighters executed after helping in their 9/11. Only in America do our heros have the chance to suffer.

Understood. I may be coming on strong, and there’s always the possibility I’m dismissing something valid. Also, I didn’t want to come across as if I was attacking you or anyone directly. I know it can sound heated, especially with what is mentioned in the above description!

I see. It’s their intelligence gathering and the possible blackmail that is the weight they throw around. I still don’t buy it as I don’t think it’s necessary, I think there is alignment of interests, and I feel it still paints the US as being at the mercy of crafty Israel so the earlier criticisms still hold in my mind.

I’m also very cynical about politicians and the American public, I feel that Americans would just shrug their shoulders at any “dirt” Israel could dig up. But, that’s just my competely vibe-based analysis about Americans.

Yeah it does come across that way. Once again, I don’t think every person who espouses that thinks that consciously, but it sounds awfully close to antisemitism so it should give people pause. Instead of the mechanations of capital expressing itself through imperialism and an intersection of interests being at fault, it’s instead a small group of people pulling the strings of geopolitics with their sneaky trickery - and they happen to be Jewish.

Agreed, the idea that it is Israel that has leverage is like people thinking it’s the tail that wags the dog. That it’s somehow the outposts giving orders to the empire. And, though I don’t think it’s intentional by people who espouse it, it comes across as downplaying America’s responsibility as the empire, as if we are hostages in the situation and wouldn’t be giving our outposts weapons and support to extend imperialism’s goals.

Step away from the lathe
