White men are ‘walking around on eggshells at work', afraid to speak freely: Survey

Yahoo5 hours ago

A lot of white men are "walking around on eggshells at work" and afraid to speak freely, according to a new poll.
Almost two in three 18-to-29-year-old White men are too afraid to voice their opinions at work for fear of being fired, according to a poll by J.L. Partners for Tim Samuels' new 5-part YouTube and podcast series, "White Men Can't Work!"
"Millions of guys facing discrimination or hostility, walking around on eggshells too anxious or scared to speak out," Samuels said in the recent trailer for his podcast.
Dei Is Dead. Here's What Should Come Next
"What would be a smarter way to genuinely address prejudice by alienating men from the get-go by choosing radicalism over pragmatism, DEI truly turned itself into an irresistible piñata for President Trump," he added.
On Jan. 21, Trump signed an executive order removing federal funding from educational institutions that have DEI policies.

According to the poll, 43% of White men, spanning all age groups, say they are self-censoring their speech at work, and an additional 25 million men claim they've not been given jobs or promotions because of being White men.
In the second episode of "White Men Can't Work!" Samuels spoke to University of Chicago professor Dorian Abbot, who said that White men were targeted at his university.
"We had a dean that said we could only hire someone, a professor, if it wasn't a White or Asian man," Abbot said. "Yeah, I didn't realize that at the time, but it's all happening, like, you know, behind the scenes kind of business. And so I was like, this doesn't seem right."
White House Vows To Implement 'System Of Merit' In Us, Dismantle Dei 'Strangulation'
He said that he tried to make YouTube videos for his administration explaining his stance on diversity, but faced pushback.
The University of Chicago told Fox News Digital, "In keeping with its long-standing traditions and policies, the University of Chicago considers students, employees, applicants for admission or employment, and those seeking access to University programs on the basis of individual merit."
The University added that it "does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, national or ethnic origin, shared ancestry, age, status as an individual with a disability, protected military or veteran status, genetic information, or other protected classes under the law."Original article source: White men are 'walking around on eggshells at work', afraid to speak freely: Survey

Tulsi Gabbard Flips Sides in MAGA Civil War Over Iran's Nuclear Capabilities

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has flipped her stance on Iran after President Donald Trump nuked her intelligence as 'wrong.' Gabbard told the Senate Intelligence Committee on March 25 that there was no intelligence to suggest Iran was building nuclear weapons, though the country had enriched its uranium to higher levels. Following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's June 12 'preemptive' strike on Iran—which he justified by saying that the country has a 'secret plan' to weaponize uranium—Trump sided with Israel's countervailing position. On two separate occasions this week, Trump rebuffed Gabbard's earlier assessment of Iran's nuclear program. 'I don't care what [Gabbard] said,' Trump said aboard Air Force One. 'I think they were very close to having one.' In another comment on Wednesday, the president added that Iran was 'a few weeks' away from turning their uranium into a weapon, echoing similar sentiments shared by Netanyahu. Then on Friday, Gabbard fell in line with Trump, attacking the media for having the gall to believe what she said. 'The dishonest media is intentionally taking my testimony out of context and spreading fake news as a way to manufacture division,' Gabbard wrote to her 600K followers. 'America has intelligence that Iran is at the point that it can produce a nuclear weapon within weeks to months, if they decide to finalize the assembly.' She added, 'President Trump has been clear that can't happen, and I agree.' Gabbard included a clip of what she called her 'full testimony,' which has since racked up 8.9 million views. The world has been thrown into a state of limbo while Trump weighs a decision on whether to get the United States involved in strikes on Iran, a decision the country warned would be 'very dangerous.' In a statement read on Thursday by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Trump said he would make his decision 'within the next two weeks' based on the fact that there 'is a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future.' Reuters reported that the Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met with a group of European diplomats in Geneva on Friday for nuclear talks.

Filing for city elections has opened

Filing to run for a position on Huntsville City Council opened on Thursday, June 19. There are five positions up for election, including the Mayor and all four ward positions. The November 4, 2025 election is a Constitutional Amendment Election. Terms for election are for three year terms following the charter changes of 2023. 2025 Candidate packet Current Mayor Russell Humphrey announced his reelection campaign during a meet and greet held June 5th at Humphrey's Bar and Grill. The sitting ward members are Councilmember Ward 1 Tore Fossum, Councilmember Ward 2 Casey Cox, Councilmember Ward 3 Anissa Antwine, and Councilmember Ward 4 Jon Strong. Antwine announced her run for reelection on Saturday, June 14, during her Juneteenth address at the MLK Community Center. Strong confirmed he too will be seeking reelection. 'There is still important work to do to change the tree ordinance to preserve more of the east Texas forest. There is a tree ordinance passed in 2021, but it appears to be ineffective,' said Fossum, when he confirmed his campaign Friday. 'Further, the most important functions the city does are the clean safe drinking water and safely disposing of the sewage. Much of the infrastructure is decades old and deteriorating. The drainage comes next and that is a difficult topic because we can go years or decades between destructive heavy rain events as we saw in October of 2023 and May of 2024. Many of those who had water intrusion for the first time could protect their houses with swales and berms. However, the city does not pay for that. Clear cutting on higher land contributed to that at Elkins Lake.' Cox had no response as of press time Friday afternoon. Running for City Council To qualify as a candidate for city council, there are several requirements: — At the time of election to office and during their tenure of office, the Mayor and each member of the Council shall be a citizen and a qualified registered voter of the State of Texas and the City of Huntsville. — Be at least 21 years of age on the date of the election. — Be a resident of the City for at least 12 months preceding the election. — Resided continuously in the state of Texas for 12 months preceding the date of the regular filing deadline for a candidate's application for a place on the ballot. — If running for a specific Ward, the candidate must be a resident of that Ward. — No member of the Council shall be indebted to the City or be delinquent in the payment to the City of any tax or assessment. — No member of the Council shall hold any other office or employment under the City government. — Be a citizen of the United States. — Have not been determined by a final judgment of a court exercising probate jurisdiction to be totally mentally incapacitated or partially mentally incapacitated without the right to vote; and — Have not been finally convicted of a felony from which the candidate has not been pardoned or otherwise released from the resulting disabilities. Candidates are also subject to the requirements of the State's nepotism law, conflicts of interest law, and the loyalty clause. According to the city's election page, a member of the council ceasing to possess any of the qualifications will immediately forfeit their office. To be eligible as a candidate for councilmember from a specific ward, a person must be a resident of such ward.
