Oil giant Shell USA is the latest corporation to be held accountable for the racial discrimination that has been a hallmark of the DEI era, and is facing a lawsuit over an alleged purge of white employees. A lawsuit was filed this week in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas on behalf of two former workers who say they were fired from their longtime jobs and replaced with less qualified employees as part of a “racially discriminatory reorganization that targeted white employees.”

Comments:

I already drive past any and all Citgo stations (not wanting to put coin into the pockets of the Chavez and Maduro gangs). Now I'll add Shell to the list...

Shell stations are always priced higher in Texas, so most people already drive past them. Shell sells oil and gas, but pretends to embrace green energy, carbon recapture, and leftist nonsense that raises their prices. As for white people, whites have not been promoted or given raises in years due to the DEI, CRT, HR quotas. The workforce composition has changed with those that can leaving the corporate culture to become consultants that are hired by the corporations to clean up the mess. Others are becoming independent businesses, electricians, plumbers, and entering other professions. Now, DEI has entered and is destroying the professions.

I can see how Shell could think this is acceptable because most levels of government have been doing the same for years and companies had to do it in order to do business with the Biden government.

Those tear jars are now evidence. The plaintiffs should nail Shell (and the person who presented them) to the wall.

I generally use Costco gas, but when I'm on the road, it's usually Shell. They seem to be the lowest price "premium" grade around. I'm sorry to hear Shell has gone "woke". That was very blatant discrimination, so the plaintiffs should easily get relief, and Shell having to reform its ways.

DEI is the most recent reincarnation of the EEO quota system used to justify reverse discrimination. It trashes any consideration of merit or ability to impose highering of less qualified minorities by discrimination against whites and orientals.

My local shell station is a franchise owned by an immigrant Indian family with American born children. Ive been going there for 25 years and will continue to do so. Not to support shell, but to support that family. When I'm on the road, I'm not picky.

Bad enough the plaintiffs lost their jobs based upon their skin color. But receiving the "tears jar" was a gratuitous twisting of the knife. So glad these types of DEI abuses and abusers are being exposed.

To be fair, most large energy companies are accustomed to caving to government pressure and are forced to embrace policies that they wouldn't pick for themselves. They owe their existence to good relations with regulators, especially the monopolistic and heavily regulated utilities. Oil companies didn't ask for ethanol mandates either, and they know the science and economics are complete BS, but when the mandates were inevitable they adapted and figured out how to make money in spite of it. Dems have been pushing racial quotas for a lot longer than the DEI wet dream was a thing, and are really good at camouflaging the policies that lead to the desired result. It's a "tell me you're a racist without telling me you're a racist" kind of thing. Oil companies (and conventional electric utilities) are not automatically the bad guys.

Britain's Royal Air Force scrambled spy planes as it joined NATO in a huge hunt for a Russian submarine suspected of threatening a US aircraft carrier off Norway. In what defence sources are calling a 'highly unusual surge' of activity, NATO allies have deployed at least 27 specialist submarine-hunting sorties since Sunday in an urgent bid to track the vessel. The operation, which insiders insist is not a drill, comes as the USS Gerald R. Ford - the most advanced and expensive aircraft carrier in the world, worth around £11 billion, carries out exercises with the Norwegian Navy in Arctic waters.

Harsimrat Kaur Badal represents a district in the Punjab region, which is home to many members of the Sikh ethnic group who work illegally or legally in the U.S. trucking industry.

Grenell was responding to a video released by the victim of the attack, which has already been censored on the Remix News X page.

Russia launched 270 drones and 10 missiles against Ukraine on August 19, in a kinetic response to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's White House talks with US President Donald Trump and key European allies. Ukrainian regional officials said that over 24 hours Russian shelling across the Kharkiv, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhya, and Kherson regions had claimed the lives of 15 people and injured at least 76 more. It was reported that the Poltava region was hit particularly hard, leaving over 1,500 residents without electricity. In Chernihiv, drones damaged infrastructure and disrupted power supplies.

Chicago Mayor Signs Order to Shield Criminal

Chicago's far-left leadership just made its priorities crystal clear—criminal illegal aliens first, federal law second. Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) has signed an executive order aimed at blocking federal immigration authorities from doing their jobs in the city, even as Chicago grapples with out-of-control crime, an illegal immigration crisis, and mounting public frustration. The order openly declares that city police will not assist federal agents in arresting or removing illegal immigrants, even those with criminal records. Instead, the city’s law department has been instructed to use “any and every legal mechanism” to target the federal government for trying to enforce immigration laws.

We’ve written about many of the problems Britain is experiencing—and the terrible choices their government has made over the years—because it’s a cautionary tale. Many of the policies that have led to its decline, like unfettered immigration from populations that despise the United Kingdom's values, insane censorship, a national health service with endless wait times for an appointment, and a refusal to listen to its residents' desires, are exactly the kind of “utopian” dictates that leftists have been trying to impose on this country for years.A new poll from YouGov reveals exactly how Britons feel about the state of their kingdom, and the numbers are truly ugly:

The winds of change could soon blow on Iran, according to a new report. The Islamic Republic is facing collapse, indicates the report, issued by UK-based Henry Jackson Society this week, as the UN accuses Tehran of executing nearly 900 people already this year “as a tool of intimidation.” If the Islamic Republic falls, “there is a danger that regime collapse could lead to a vacuum of governance that is accompanied by civil war,” according to the findings. “This is an outcome that must be avoided at all costs for the Iranian people, and every step must therefore be made to ensure that any transition is quick and painless,” it added.
