Trump Secretary Says Bike Lanes Are DEI
cross-posted from: https://pawb.social/post/46852721
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Tuesday that his department would redirect $1.73 billion in Biden-era grants away from establishing “DEI bike lanes” to build roads and bridges instead.
So, what exactly is a “DEI bike lane?”
The Daily Wire pointed to former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s claim that a series of 2021 grants funding bike lanes would serve to “improve infrastructure, strengthen supply chains, make us safer, advance equity, and combat climate change.”
Upon hearing “equity,” President Donald Trump’s goons can’t help but get triggered into attacking any federal spending that won’t benefit them directly. In reality, those Biden-era grants directed funds to build a new transit center in North Carolina, replace bridges in New Mexico, extend streets in New Hampshire, install traffic lights and crosswalks in Missouri, and install bike lanes in Seattle, among other projects. Now the financial status of these projects is unclear.

Donald Trump is DEI.
We're giving a job to someone who is beyond the retirement age, of diminished mental capacities, wears drag, and partakes in gender affirming measures.
I'm with you aside from the drag.
they tend to call anything they don't like a "bad word", such as DEI, woke, commies.... in this way they butcher the word until it's only known as "thing rightwingers don't like"

I mean, he's kind of not wrong? They do tend to foster diversity, equity, and inclusion. Though I doubt he knows what the acronym stands for.
It's also critical race theory, fake news, communism, woke, antifa, and terrorism.
If MAGA had to stop using thought terminating cliches they literally couldn't even complete a sentence.
Where do I sign up for some terrorism bike lanes? Do I need to supply my own balaclava or are they provided for me
I'm imagining a little sign that say " only"

Psychologist: "Is the DEI in the room with us now?"
By DEI they mean anybody who's not a pale bro. And no, they're usually not in the same room with these fascists.
Sounds like you need to organise a few large group rides on the roads.
