Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Tuesday that his department would redirect $1.73 billion in Biden-era grants away from establishing “DEI bike lanes” to build roads and bridges instead.
Upon hearing “equity,” President Donald Trump’s goons can’t help but get triggered into attacking any federal spending that won’t benefit them directly. In reality, those Biden-era grants directed funds to build a new transit center in North Carolina, replace bridges in New Mexico, extend streets in New Hampshire, install traffic lights and crosswalks in Missouri, and install bike lanes in Seattle, among other projects. Now the financial status of these projects is unclear.

I mean, yeah, they are, and that’s the whole reason why they exist. Literally to include a more diverse set of transportation options on roads, providing a path towards equity for those unable to afford a vehicle, and including those and others in the usage of roads.
The will of the people is DEI

“Goddam libruls wanna take our
gunscars!”This is dumb, but arguably bike lanes do promote inclusion.
Yeah, pretty sure they dont actually care what the initialism means, its just a word to scare their base into opposing progress and give them more control.
It’s a sure-fire way to get your MAGA audience to stop thinking, and start raging.
