Trump administration can’t be bothered to hide its racism anymore (EEOC edition)

 
Washington Post, 12/30/2025

Andrea Lucas, chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, appeared in the video, urging those who have to contact the agency “as soon as possible.” 
“You may have a claim to recover money under federal civil rights laws,” she says in the video, which has amassed nearly 6 million views on X. 
It was an unusual move, because the EEOC doesn’t typically solicit complaints. But it underscores the sea change at an agency central to President Donald Trump’s civil rights agenda — one that began with executive orders gutting the last vestiges of affirmative action, and buttressed by his purge of the EEOC board and a newly installed Republican majority.
