Target DEI Initiatives Axed: Joins Meta, Amazon and More
Several major companies, including Target, Walmart, and Meta, have significantly scaled back or eliminated their DEI programs in 2025.

Are we more committed to convenience than diversity?
Target has made that bet.
Are we more committed to convenience than equity?
Starbucks thinks so.
Are we more committed to convenience than inclusion?
That's Walmart's take.

A picture is worth a 1000 words. The birth dose of hepatitis B vaccines in the USA eliminated perinatally acquired hepatitis B infection from over 20,000 cases a year before the vaccine was introduced to <20 cases a year. The gaslighting by the current members ACIP is obscene, unethical and cruel.

The cuts disproportionately impacted trials on infectious diseases and minority communities.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

I know we're desensitized, but it's important to note, again, that today's events would have led to the immediate impeachment & removal of any president from at least Truman to at least Obama.

Trump wraps up a speech to military leaders that represented a major escalation of his effort to weaponize the armed forces into a tool he can use to violently quash domestic dissent. Hard to imagine how anyone with a shred of dignity can keep serving after this, which of course is the point.

- They acknowledge the lack of a causal link with autism
- Essentially tell physicians to keep doing what we've been doing anyway

Biden ran to "Save the Soul of the Nation"
Instead he:
Restored broken norms rather than lead a healing transformation
Lied about his health & held onto power instead of fostering healthy debate/transition
Enabled a genocide
Enabled Trump 2.0

The most telling statistic I have ever hear is that poverty decreased during the pandemic heights because we were just doing direct payments. We basically had a national UBI pilot and ditched it because Biden wanted to restore status quo ante instead of leading a 21st century New Deal transformation
At some point people need to learn that the poverty rate is mostly about the safety net or lack thereof and not the economy. The economy was doing historically well, real wages rising for the first time in decades, etc. And poverty rose because pandemic safety policies expired.
