‘President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team has asked the State Department to list its workers who focus on gender equality and ending violence against women, in what’s being seen as an echo of an earlier request for the Energy Department to list employees who work on climate change.

In a brief email that was sent Wednesday morning, the Trump team asked the State Department’s bureaus and offices to list any programs or activities that “promote gender equality, such as ending gender-based violence, promoting women’s participation in economic and political spheres, entrepreneurship, etc.”

The email was acquired and published by The New York Times, which reports:

“Although the wording of the memo is neutral and does not hint at any policy change, it rattled State Department employees, even those at senior levels. Some officials said they feared that the incoming Trump administration was trying to determine what programs were focused on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues, though the memo did not refer to them.”
The team also asked the department offices to “note positions whose primary functions are to promote such issues” and to highlight any funds for the current financial year that are “already allocated to such programs and activities.”’

holy shit

Enforcement of a political orthiodoxy and singling out anyone who goes against it within the governmental apparatus is pretty much part and parcel of both fascism and Stalinism (although Soviet Communism always had a tendency to this, it reached literally lethal levels in Stalin’s era).

This should make anyone sit up and seriously take notice.

The good, great, wonderful news? Is that you’re hearing about this authoritarian bullcrap.

Kudos to everybody whose smart enough to see this, and rather than be intimidated? Gets pissed and laughs at it at the same time, and passes it to the nearest person who can get it public so we can all get pissed and go “HA HA NOPE” to the dangerous morons slinging this shit.

Drag their mud into the light, kiddos. 2017 and onward in a nutshell.
