Allowing the administration to define broad swaths of history, programming and civil rights compliance as “DEI” and then regurgitating that language instead of clearly articulating what specifically is being targeted is spreading disinformation and propaganda.

Hi fed friends. Guess which required CDC employee trainings were just suspended? Harassment prevention, Reasonable Accommodation for the Federal Workforce, and the No FEAR Act. Guess which topics we need to brush up on? That's right.

I think of the argument pro-birthers make all the time about abortion and how the fetus “could be the person who cures cancer,” and these same people are the ones preventing the hundreds of us working to cure cancer from doing our jobs right now.

Trump/Vance/Musk OMB funding freeze is blocked, which means they should be paying out allocated funds to states and grant recipients.
This one is a constitutional law based lawsuit, but to harmed private actors & organizations, if you have the means, this is the time to bolster your legal teams.

The antidote to fear = acceptance of the fear + action. People often think you will act when courage finds you, but the truth is you must accept that you will be afraid and act anyway. That is how courage is made. You do not stop being afraid and in fact courage is only possible in the face of fear.

ICE detained a family—including a toddler—after they were overheard speaking Spanish. They’re US citizens from Puerto Rico.
No chance to explain. The mother, grandmother, and child were shopping when ICE agents took them into detention before admitting their “mistake.”
This is Trump’s America.
