I had never heard it called the Roman salute until this week. To be honest Ancient Rome by todays standards would not be judged any more favorably then hitler so either way why would you use it.

Trump has ordered DEI employees be placed on leave.
Does he mean the departments in charge of DEI or does he mean people hired to meet DEI. Are records actually somewhere saying we hired ‘Martha’ because she is a black lesbian?

He means the federal DEI offices responsible for DEI things (Diversity training, hiring, ect.), and he also means to out anyone who was hired on that notion (but I doubt lists exist so I doubt that's going to be achievable), and he's apparently made his AG pressure private companies in the States to cease similar diversity programs, which again....the Free market can tell him to fuck off really, so that's likely not achievable either.

Another sidebar: The people in charge of the NFL have told the New England Patriots to shut down their BluSky account...and I'm not sure how else to read that except to bow to Elon and Trump for X and Meta's benefit....because there are zero other reasons to actually REDUCE your cross-platform social media exposure by shutting down the one on a single social media site and leave up the rest....Anyone know if the people in charge of the NFL are right wing shitbags?

They are all filthy rich. Make your own assumptions (but yes, they lean conservative as most wealthy people do).
Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....
