GET ME REWRITE: Noise from Trump GOP racist dog whistles shows no signs of abating

 

Print headline:   New York Times, 3/24/2025

Lauren Hirsch reports on how the Trump GOP doesn't even bother to hide its racism anymore:

In the process of attacking big law firms this week, the Trump administration hinted at another potential target: a decades-old nonprofit that helps students land jobs on Wall Street. 

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sent letters to 20 law firms on Monday demanding information on their diversity, equity and inclusion, or D.E.I., efforts. All of the letters asked about Sponsors for Educational Opportunity, an organization known as SEO.

And what is it that freaked out our racist president?
