I was struck by this announcement from the USDA: Secretary Rollins Takes Bold Action to Put American Farmers First, Cuts Millions in Woke DEI Funding
It’s the McCarthy-era rhetoric that gets to me:
Putting American Farmers First means cutting the millions of dollars that are being wasted on woke DEI propaganda. Under President Trump’s leadership, I am putting an end to the waste, fraud, and abuse that has diverted resources from American farmers and restoring sanity and fiscal stewardship to the U.S. Department of Agriculture,” said Secretary Rollins.
She then lists the programs being cut for underserved and disadvantaged farmers.
So sad, all this.
The question is how to protest. If enough people do, it might make a difference.
