I'm really confused. Are these people bitching about #DEI, which is usually just a part of an HR department (I've sat on a few DEI boards), or Affirmative Action? Because both have been around for a looooooong time.

“We Feel Terrorized”: What EPA Employees Say About the Decision to Stay or Go Under Trump
—
More than 300 career employees at the Environmental Protection Agency have left. Those who remain face a painful decision: resign or work for an administration that plans to radically reshape the EPA while reversing environmental protections.

(To my US followers 🤫 ) I wrote: "Obviously, the immensely rich #diversity of choices offers evolutionary advantages for a wide variety of environments." I'm just writing about #moss sex. 😁 Without Newspeak. 💪
I'm proud to use the so-called "flagged" words ▶️ https://steadyhq.com/en/naturematchcuts/posts/00aabadd-63c5-4f3d-93a9-e93ebda61377

OK so we're on #Trump 2.0 day nine
Can we take a broader view beyond "Trump hates #DEI" ?
Can we take a broader view beyond "Trump hates #Immigrants / #AsylumSeekers" ?
Can we take a broader view beyond "Trump hates #Transgender people" ?
#DonaldTrump hates all of those things, and more
But don't lose sight of the big picture: Trump is conducting nothing less than the wholesale destruction of the entire #USDemocracy -- piece by piece as he can -- in full service to #VladimirPutin and #Russia
Remember this: Trump and Putin at Helsinki 2018 and the famous "whipped like a dog" photo
It speaks volumes

The edits to the webpage offer a glimpse into how far the Trump administration will go in refusing to acknowledge today’s inequalities as it purges federal initiatives promoting diversity, equity and inclusion.

Target has rolled back their DEI efforts, but COSTCO and IKEA have not.
Vote with your dollars and support (1st) your local economy and (2nd) at least half way decent corporations.
Many nonprofits rely heavily on federal grants and AmeriCorps members. These nonprofits are being told that they need to scrub anything mentioning diversity, equity, and inclusion if they expect any federal funding or assistance moving forward. (Attached are a couple of examples from a literacy nonprofit called Reading Partners). It's possible that many of Trump's executive orders will be defeated in court, but--even if that happens--the legal process can be slow. Funding is being pulled from programs / nonprofits / research that cannot survive long without it. So, if you see an organization complying with these orders, please do not immediately think less of them. Do not assume they are making these changes because they want to. In most cases they are simply trying to weather the storm and survive long enough to continue helping the communities that depend on their services.

40-day Target boycott starts now.
"On January 24, days into Donald Trump’s presidency, Target announced it was eliminating hiring goals for minority employees, ending an executive committee focused on racial justice and making other changes to its diversity initiatives."
"Divest from Target because they have turned their back on our community,” Rev. Jamal Bryant, a prominent Atlanta-area megachurch pastor who started the boycott"
