Marco Rubio's State Department Reorg Would Hit Programs Focused on Human Rights and War Crimes

All right, everybody. It's time for the entire Cabinet to put their heads down on the desk and take a time out before the entire government finds itself wrapped around a dogwood tree down by the Jefferson Memorial.

First, there's the tiny husk of what used to be Marco Rubio, who's reorganizing the entire State Department to precise MAGA specifications. From The Washington Post:

The proposed shake-up of America’s primary foreign policy institution coincides with the Trump administration’s efforts to reorient the United States on the world stage to align with the president’s “America First” agenda while cutting costs and downsizing staff. The effort targets some human rights programs and others focused on war crimes and democracy, according to internal documents shared with The Washington Post. As part of the plan, senior officials would submit a path to reducing U.S.-based staff by 15 percent, according to the documents, potentially affecting hundreds of jobs.

Let's see. We are eliminating offices that deal with human rights, democracy, and war crimes. Now what other world leader would benefit most from these developments? 'Ees a puzzlement.

Meanwhile, the EPA is doing something similar to the people who live in places like Cancer Alley in Louisiana and in close proximity to pipelines. Also from the WaPo:

EPA Assistant Deputy Administrator Travis Voyles sent notices late Monday to staff at the agency’s headquarters working in the Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights, which the administration plans to close, and those working on environmental justice in regional offices. The “reduction in force” would cut 280 employees and reassign about 175 employees to other offices, according to the spokesman...

...“EPA is taking the next step to terminate the Biden-Harris Administration’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and Environmental Justice arms of the agency,” the agency said in a statement. “This is the first step in a broader effort to ensure that EPA is best positioned to meet its core mission of protecting human health and the environment and Powering the Great American Comeback.”

In this case, the attack on DEI and the attack on environmental justice are just two sides of the same racist coin. One policy is shredded, eliminating the voices most likely to be attuned to the people seeking environmental justice. Apparently, birth defects and childhood asthma are part of the Great American Comeback, which sounds like a theme park for incompetent white people.
