       In Trump’s Federal #WorkForce Cuts, #BlackWomen Are Among the Hardest Hit#Trump has cut hundreds of thousands of jobs from the #federal work force, disproportionately affecting #Black employees.When Trump started dismantling #FederalAgencies & dismissing rank-&-file #CivilServants, Peggy Carr, the chief statistician at the #Education Dept, immediately started to make a calculation.#MathBitches #WeSeeYou #WhiteSupremacy #law #labor #discrimination https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/us/politics/trump-federal-work-force-black-women.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

       She was the first #Black person & the first #woman to hold the prestigious post of commissioner of the National Center for #Education #Statistics. As a political appointee, she knew there was a risk of becoming a target.But her 35-year career at the department spanned a half dozen admins, including [bitch-ass-punk] #Trump’s first term, & she had earned the respect of officials from both parties.#MathBitches #WeSeeYou #WhiteSupremacy #law #labor #discrimination

       @Nonilex Well, of course. The man is an obvious misogynist and racist, so of course.Glad someone is proving it though.

       Surely, she thought, the office tasked with tracking the achievement of the nation’s students could not fall under Trump’s definition of “divisive & harmful” or “woke.”But for the first time in her career, Dr. Carr’s data points didn’t add up.On a Feb afternoon, a security guard showed up to her office just as she was preparing to hold a staff meeting. 15 minutes later, the staff watched in tears & disbelief as she was escorted out of the building.#MathBitches #WeSeeYou #WhiteSupremacy #law

       “It was like being prosecuted in front of my family—my work family,”Dr. Carr said in an interview. “It was like I was being taken out like the #trash, the only difference is I was being taken out the front door rather than the back door.”While tens of thousands of employees have lost their jobs in #Trump’s slash-&-burn approach to shrinking the #federal #workforce, experts say the cuts disproportionately affect #Black employees—& Black #women in particular.#WhiteSupremacy #law #labor
