#RFKJr has signed onto the #TrumpAdministration definition of #DEI, i.e. anything that might possibly benefit people who aren't white, heterosexual, cisgender Christians. It's disgusting. It's also #PublicHealthMalpractice https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:flwgfsh2mhpoqwjwwt2mesjv/post/3lp5rkckxfs2c
The nation’s oldest and largest #Indigenous sorority is bracing for #DEI orders
#AlphaPiOmega is helping young #NativeAmerican women grow strong in their identities — but their future on college campuses is in question.

Excerpt: "#DEI initiatives in education, government and workplaces are continuing to be targeted by #Republican lawmakers across the country; in #NorthCarolina there are multiple bills filed, some targeting #HigherEducation institutions.
"Senate Bill 558, also known as the 'Eliminating ‘DEI’ in Public Higher Education,' would require the University of North Carolina system and local community colleges to prohibit certain concepts and efforts associated with DEI. The Senate passed the bill and now it heads to the House of Representatives for consideration. Because of the vague nature of the bill, if passed the language has to be finalized before enacted.
" 'We want to have schools that are able to inspire, teach and engage students from different backgrounds, experiences and identities and Indigenous students are an important part of that,' Robinson said.
" 'We want there to be programs and support that can speak to the Indigenous perspective and experience. We’re going to potentially lose that and all these different tools that have been built up over the last several decades to successfully support and mentor any number of different students, including Native students.' "

#Trump just defunded a program to provide high-speed #internet to rural areas, which are predominantly red. Why? It was called the Digital Equity Act.

Softwarehersteller: SAP-Chef Klein rechtfertigt seine Diversitätspolitik
SAP-Chef Christian Klein in Erklärungsnot: Auf der virtuellen Hauptversammlung kritisierten Aktionäre die Veränderungen in der Diversitätspolitik des Software-Herstellers. SAP hatte auf allgemeinen Druck der US-Regierung angekündigt, die angestrebte Frauenquote von 40 Prozent zu streichen. Deutliche Worte fand Christiane Hölz, Geschäftsführerin der Deutschen Schutzvereinigung für Wertpapierbesitz (DSW): „Wer Vielfalt opfert, verliert nicht nur Talente, sondern auch und vor allem Glaubwürdigkeit.“

It’s ironic, isn’t it?
With Trump’s cognitive and mental decline, and as he sinks further and further into Dementia, Trump is the ultimate DEI hire.
German software company SAP has caved to Trump & co's wankery over #DEI.
Fucking idiots. They're the biggest ERP software company in the world.
A business that relies on their software isn't going to drop them overnight. It would take years and a LOT of $.
They could have told the fash to fuck off. We see them.

Stockholm is the latest city to refuse a 'bizarre' US request to abandon diversity.
The Stockholm City Council has rejected the US embassy's demand that it adopt the Trump administration's anti-diversity policies, with Stockholm’s vice-mayor for planning calling the request "bizarre".
Several European nations and cities have slammed US efforts to force its anti-DEI policies on the continent.

Fired - 1st #woman and the 1st #African #American to be #Librarian of #Congress. Anne Applebaum: "Every #book #published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress. Also, if you are under 16 you cannot use the reading room or order books." Reporter: #president fired the Librarian of Congress. Why? #Leavitt: There were quite concerning things she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of #DEI and putting inappropriate #books in the library for #children. #lies #censorship
@blogdiva @RamenCatholic It is also my observation that #DEI has become code for #black in those circles.
