The deletion of Women

Vanilla topic but important:

The Trump administration is trying to erase women. They're removing the words "women", "female" and others from government websites, documents, and called for discontinued use in many federal places, including in public school curriculum. And they're removing posts and photos of women, gays, blacks and others in the military, from historical to today. And health information for women has been deleted online. (And in case you don't know, DEI benefits white women the most and he is anti-DEI.)

Also, "women", "female" and others are among the many words no longer allowed in contracts and grants.

From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. This is a crisis for freedom of speech, academic freedom & science:

They're basically saying that unless you're a straight white male, you do not exist or matter. Elon also supported the far right Nazi group in Germany and he recently admitted he wants to eliminate Social Security. And Trump wants to steal other countries' land and eliminate the Department of Education. Project 2025 wants all women to be pregnant instead of going to school. And they want to defund public schools. And get rid of FEMA disaster relief. 

What can be done to combat the Trump/Musk administration in the future? 

1) Protest and/or spread the truth.

2) Call Congress. To call your Congress representative and/or see the latest issues to fight for, download the app or use the website at 5calls.org

3) Boycott companies that are anti-DEI or who support Trump or Musk. (Example: Use Bluesky instead of X/Twitter)

4) Right now, the Republican party has majority control of the House and Senate in Congress and whatever Trump wants is being done. So democrats need to regain majority control over the House of Representatives to stand up to Trump and not let more Project 2025 things be implemented. So support the 2 democrat candidates who are running in the April 1st election in Florida that could flip Congress.
