WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s administration is directing that all federal diversity, equity and inclusion staff be put on paid leave, and that agencies develop plans to lay them off, according to a memo Tuesday from the Office of Personnel Management.

Another anti-DEI order.

"Illegal and discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) hiring, including on the basis of race, sex, disability, or any other criteria other than the safety of airline passengers and overall job excellence, competency, and qualification, harms all Americans, who deserve to fly with confidence. "

I saw this on Al Jazeera first but it was largely just a video which a) nobody needs to see that and b) there was no real context, Israel shoots Palestinian kids a LOT, it could have been from before the cease fire.

This seems to confirm it is in breach of the cease fire, surprising nobody.

Edit Truthout tried to link to X for the video which naturally has been removed, so here's what I saw on Al Jazeera.

Warning: Blurred human body, adult male attempting to recover it being fired on.

This might need some background...

Let's be clear, John Bolton is an asshole:

That being said, he did work for Trump and accumulated some enemies doing so.

Trump initially pulled his secret service protection back in 2019, which President Biden restored:

This seems to be yet another act of petty retribution against someone who spoke poorly of Trump.
