Federal employees received emails Wednesday warning that they could face repercussions if they did not report on coworkers who work in diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility positions that might have gone unnoticed by government supervisors.
Federal employees are told to name colleagues who work in DEI roles or risk 'adverse consequences'
Emails sent to government workers at numerous agencies gave employees 10 days to report if a colleague's job relates to diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

In case anyone was wondering how work is going so far this week...
Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

I think it's too late for the US... we didn't kick them out early enough.

For those who doubted Trump had anything to do with Project 2025.
16 of the 26 Day One executive orders signed by Trump were ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

Russ Vought, an architect of Project 2025, testifies before the Senate today as Trump's OMB nominee.

Project 2025 was always the MAGA agenda.
Trump’s First Orders Parrot Project 2025 Manifesto He Disavowed
After distancing himself from the corporate policy agenda during his campaign, President Donald Trump is issuing executive orders torn straight from its pages.

Why is the ADL defending this?! What in the actual f***?!?!
For shame, ADL. Truly pathetic for you to come to Elon Musk’s defense. A Nazi salute is a Nazi salute.

We need to prohibit elected officials from buying/trading stock. We need to, somehow, reverse the Citizens United ruling. We need to re-establish the Fairness Doctrine. The USA is a f'ing disaster.
Who gave $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund?

-Each of the 5 biggest tech firms
-The CEOs of Uber & OpenAI
-Auto giants Toyota, Ford, & GM
-Drugmaker behemoth Pfizer

Corporate America is desperate to kiss the ring.

There's nothing they won’t do for a tax break.

President Biden's move to to create two national monuments in California — that together will prevent mining and drilling as well as wind, solar and other energy development across more than 848,000 acres — means that he's protected more federal land than any other president. nyti.ms/4h69HYU

Sometimes, floods are real floods and fires are real fires – not metaphors or sermon fodder. May we pause long enough on the road to meaning-making to let some suffering make no sense.
