The Trump administration is suing a Coca-Cola distributor in New Hampshire for discriminating against male employees by hosting a women-only networking event in September 2024 – making it the first lawsuit related to workplace diversity, equity and inclusion in the second Trump administration.

Between September 10 and September 11, 2024, Coca-Cola Beverages Northwest Inc., a Japanese-owned distributor of Coca-Cola and other soda products in the region, hosted 250 women employees at a networking event in Connecticut. “Everyone could just kind of be free and talk about their struggles,” an unnamed employee who attended the event told the Washington Post. “It’s very empowering for women to get in the same room.”

But nearly a year and a half later, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the civil rights agency tasked with investigating and addressing workplace discrimination complaints, accused the company of violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.

“The unlawful employment practices complained of above were done with malice or reckless indifference to the federally protected rights of male employees,” the EEOC wrote in its complaint.

3. Men have been doing this for years,

But that's not a problem apparently. Who knows what women get up to when they gather together.

5. Who knows?

What else would women talk about? Laundry detergents, shopping, how better to please their husbands, that kind of stuff.
What else could they possibly talk about?

6. Trump better take on The Bohemia Club then.

Trump may take on the Bohemia Club as he is not a member.

Present Day

The Bohemian Club retains its influence to this day, with numerous artists, businessmen, and executives actively participating in the Bohemian Club. Alex Jones and Jon Ronson famously infiltrated the Bohemian Grove in 2000, with Jones reporting about it to his growing number of followers. According to Jones, he witnessed a human sacrifice while at the Bohemian Club, but Ronson has since stated that the human sacrifice never happened, that it was simply a burning log/effigy, and that Jones knowingly lied to his audience.[24] This led to a heavily armed fan of Jones to attempt to break into Bohemian Grove and kill everyone there because of his belief that they were committing human sacrifice.[24] Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas famously accepted gifts in the late 2010s from Harlan Crow that included a trip to Bohemian Grove.[22] Edwin Feulner, co-founder of the Heritage foundation, was on the attendance list in 2023.[22]

One of the most closely tied families to the Bohemian Club is the Bechtel family. There is a famous picture of Stephen Bechtel Sr. with Henry Kissinger at the Bohemian Club in 1999.[22] The Bechtel family owns Bechtel, a massive construction firm. It is likely due to their deep ties to Bohemian Club members, including George W. Bush and Colin Powell, that Bechtel was awarded the first major contract to rebuild Iraq.[22] David McCormick, who was elected to the senate for Pennsylvania in 2024, is a member of the Bohemian Club, with at least 11 members of the Bohemian Club donating to his campaign. Once in office, he backed massive AI data center investment in Pennsylvania, where Bechtel will receive billions in construction contracts through this investment.[25] Bechtel has billions of investments tied up in Venezuelan oil,[26] and has also been floated as a potential leader for rebuilding Gaza,[27] further tangling the Bechtel company and the United States governmental activity.

Paul Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi's Husband, is on the Bohemian club list, as well as their nephew, Laurence Pelosi, who works for Harlan Crow.[22] In addition, an estimated quarter of the architects of project 2025 were a part of the Bohemian Club, including Edwin Feulner, demonstrating influence to this very day.[22]

Donald Trump has reportedly been denied access to join the Bohemian Club and has never been a member.[22]
