Trump just killed federal affirmative action. The new Trump EO goes beyond even no longer mandating affirmative action among contractors. While DEI was required to get government contracts before, now it’s prohibited.
Christopher Caldwell says this is way bigger than people may think:
"Trump’s decision to repeal it is the most significant policy change of this century—more significant than the Affordable Care Act of 2010 or anything done about Covid. How can people be talking about anything else? Yet major news outlets treat Trump’s bold move as a detail of personnel management: “Distress and Fury as Trump Upends Federal Jobs,” headlined The New York Times.
"Somewhere along the line, the Trump administration came to understand in a sophisticated way how the enforcement of civil rights actually works. Not many Americans do—and it’s worth reviewing.
"It was possible to believe at the time of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that a good-faith moral commitment would suffice to remedy the devilish racial antagonism that had beset the country since its founding. That that wouldn’t work became obvious very quickly. Barely a year later, at the start of the summer of 1965, President Johnson argued before a Howard University graduating class that it’s not fair to make a runner “who, for years, has been hobbled by chains” compete with others.
"It sounded generous. But it was dark. Three months later, Johnson would issue Executive Order 11246, realizing that it was possible to remedy a racist system only by favoring the victim race, in doses of remedial racism, or what the British—apparently a more straightforward people than we are—call “reverse racism.”
"This was a course that the public could not tolerate and neither government nor business could avow. A climate of dishonesty was the result. Affirmative action was a big factor—perhaps the biggest—in convincing about half of Americans never to trust anything any person of authority said.
"Ten presidents managed to insulate affirmative action from public accountability. Then it became obvious to the public that changing anything would require dismantling everything."
Since the 2024 election, commentators are no longer afraid to say the unsayable: White, college-educated women are among the most foolish and stupid on the planet. John G. Roberto labels them indoctrinated, "socialist useful idiots." Beanman19701 describes them as "the gift that keeps on giving" to every leftist cause, because their support will be perpetual, unthinking backing for the left.
Now the Queen of Leftist Philanthropy explains how she became a useful idiot for Klaus Schwab and the global left mafia. Nicole Shanahan - ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, former running mate of RFK Jr., and someone who personally signed nine-figure philanthropy checks - just revealed how she and the other Silicon Valley college-educated-white-women were tricked, recruited and used.
"I don't think many of the tech mafia wives realize,” says Shanahan, “they were used to set the groundwork for what Klaus Schwab calls The Great Reset.

It has long been understood that the New York Times is the public voice of the American intelligence establishment, and that American media takes its cues from the Times on what should or should not be reported. In 2025, the Times stopped lying about two aspects of the Ukrainian war, and the about-face has shaken the world. On March 9th, the Times admitted that it was America which made war against Russia, for decades, falsely pretending that Russia was an aggressor against Ukraine. This previous narrative was fake war propaganda all along.
Now comes another truth bomb from the Times: Zelenskii is no Messiah, but a highly accomplished crook who cares nothing about the suffering of Ukrainians.
On December 5th, the Times proved that the hero-status they had once given Zelenskii was another fake narrative created by the deep state for the purposes of extending billions of ...
"I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested."
