At the rate the filth is moving it won't be long before the political/religious/cultural environment of this declining nation will be indistinguishable from that of Muslim world of extremists.

Read on instagram about a new website called womeninstem.us dedicated to posting/housing all the women's bios that had been deleted from all STEM related fields. From the post I read there is great support from not only the USA but international as well.

Telling isn't it that just talking about the accomplishments made by BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and women is enough to send Nat C's/MAGA into a tizzy. As if only White men invented anything, as if they did everything all themselves without any help at all (except.... and you can fill in the rest because behind every over confident mediocre white male is a battalion of BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and women who did all the heavy lifting).

And yet he hired the first women as the head of NASA. Do you think his intent is to put everyone on a equal footing and not give special interest groups special consideration.
Sounds like women would rally around his approach because for decades they wanted to be treated and paid just like their male counterparts.
"These programs divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars, and resulted in shameful discrimination," Petro wrote

I wish someone could tell me how purging women's names from leadership roles at NASA improves Americans' lives.

Everything people predicted would happen if the crazy Christian Nationalist Trumpublicans took control of the government is happening.

Uppermost for the psychologically damaged men in charge is the goal of putting women back in the 18th century in the US.

It's apparent that they are all frightened, underdeveloped immature little boys.

skud, the FOTUS placed Janet Petro as the 'acting administrator since Jan 20, 2025, but Jared Isaacman has been the nominee to head the agency since Dec 4, 2024.

Also, I checked to see if the bio's for the women affected were on the NASA site (trust but verify) and they'd been erased.

Added point - Janet won't keep the job. I found this reply to a question asked in a 2021 interview:

ENR: Does the Artemis goal of landing the first woman and person of color on the moon reflect NASA's policy for employees?

Petro: At NASA and Kennedy Space Center, our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility has been paramount to mission success. The entire NASA leadership team stands behind this commitment. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson shared a very clear message: “We embrace diversity because we understand that different opinions, backgrounds and perspectives create an enriching environment that fuels innovation and personal growth. Every difference of opinion, background or perspective is an opportunity to learn and build relationships … It’s also how we achieve missions of unparalleled complexity and ambition that inspire the world.”

So skud, which parts of diversity, equity, and inclusion do you dislike the most? I ask because you "seem" to support the concept of equal pay for equal work but you sling the term DEI as if it's a curse word so I ask again - which part of diversity, equity, and inclusion are you against?

PS - yes Janet did write "These programs divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars, and resulted in shameful discrimination," three (3) days after being named acting head. Can't get any job in the FOTUS admin without reciting the MAGA oath o' loyalty.

All hail the mighty deity of conformity to authoritarianism amirite?

As of two minutes ago bio's of women who are in positions of authority are still on the NASA website. All mention of the stories of employees, specifically women, posted on the site in an effort to show little girls they have representation has been removed. I was not clear in my first comment. It could be too that the site was court ordered to be reinstated. I don't have all the facts from behind the scenes.

Grey, I do not like any aspect of DEI because it stands for discrimination. I am not in favor of discrimination in anything for any reason. DEI is a program that promotes discrimination. Hire the best candidate you can find for the job you are trying to fill. I will assume you favor selecting people based on the boxes they check which will discriminate against someone who may be the best selection but doesn't check a box.

Petro is not stupid. When biden was in the seat she went with what he wanted and now that trump is in the seat she goes with what he wants. She sounds bright to me and will probably be good at her job.

Anon at 11:22 PM who has to be skud because they talk like skud (you do know you can self identify even if you aren't signed in? For example when I'm posting on my phone I do my best to sign my posts as Grey One to avoid any confusion) but back to my reply.

You didn't answer my question. What part of Diversity Equity and Inclusion are you against? Please provide examples as to how having a diverse work place is discriminatory. Please provide examples how an equal work force - equal pay for equal work which skud, has previously SAID they support even as their word choices say only White males of a Christian persuasion get to earn the big bucks.

I ask because if I understand you correctly Anon/skud you are saying every DEI hire wasn't the most qualified person for the job. How... absolutely bigoted of you. Reminder for the bigots out there, an inclusive work force includes you too so please tell me how an inclusive work force is discriminatory.

One thing you said was correct, Petro isn't stupid. But you certainly sound stupid when you assume what I do or do not favor. For the record (again to the power of I'll repeat it until you get it) I want the best person for the job whomever that turns out to be. It is historical fact that antidiscrimination laws were and are again necessary because the perfect person up until the laws passage was ALWAYS a White Christian (sometimes Jewish if they could "pass") male.

Weird how inclusion became discrimination in skuds... oh, our Anonymous commentators mind.

skudrunner said...

Grey, "What part of Diversity Equity and Inclusion are you against?"
All of it because it demands discrimination. Why do we need to have a policy to include a number of or a percentage of people who fall into a tagged group. Why not just enforce an anti-discrimination policy. By selecting a group to identify you are discriminating against them and everyone else, I could say how shallow you seem but won't. You know I didn't say every DEI hire wasn't the most qualified I just said why tag them.
skudrunner just in case

It is you skud that is selfih, deluded, and yes, willfully ignorant.
It's not your total doing. You've simply bought the BS heaped upon you by the social, political, economic environment in which you lived your existence. IOW's the beliefs you accepted through your conditioning and illusory experiences.
