Works Progress Administration posters promoting parks, art and literacy, and war propaganda are perhaps the most well-known of the 2,000+ that were made. Here are a few lesser-known examples from the Library’s collection of more than 900 posters, which is the largest anywhere in the world.

Harmeet Dhillon made a mockery of the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division by attacking diversity, equity, and inclusion and bullying states into disenfranchising voters. She will not be missed. Enjoy your knitting.

She accomplished 27 consecutive defeats in her quest to seize sensitive voter roll records. One federal judge described it as part of the failed “election interference” scheme that Essayli recently participated in while unlawfully holding his position.

Congratulations to @AAGDhillon on her successes at the DOJ. She accomplished much in her two years leading the Civil Rights Division. I’ve fought alongside Harmeet for years to protect girls’ sports and restore election integrity. She’s a born fighter, and I’m excited for what’s next.

Good riddance. Few people have done more to undermine U.S. DOJ’s civil rights legacy than Harmeet Dhillon — undermining free and fair elections, subverting anti-discrimination laws, and targeting marginalized communities. We stopped her at every turn and we’ll continue to fight for equality for all.

Elias Law Group is happy to have aided in this personnel decision. We are 29-1 against DOJ in voting and election cases they have filed under Trump.

The departure makes Dhillon the first high-ranking Trump official to resign from the admin in the wake of the midterms, though sources say her exit was long expected after President Trump privately expressed frustrations over a growing number of court losses for the division under Dhillon’s leadership.
