DoD cancels National Native American Heritage Month: Sec. of Defense Hegseth stated that, "Native American Heritage Month runs counter to the 'warfighting mission' of the department." - Of all the people who could challenge the "warrior mission," it's Native Americans? indianz.com/News/2025/02...

Department of Defense cancels National Native American Heritage Month

American Indians and Alaska Natives serve in the military at the highest rates per capita of any group but celebrations of their contributions are being erased by the Trump administration.

59% of banned books were children’s books featuring diverse characters or nonfiction books about historical figures, according to a new study. Authors of color wrote 39% of the books even though authors of color make up just 10% of U.S. authors #Booksky #BlackSky

The number of book bans in the US has soared in recent years. A new study shines light on which types of books and authors are the main targets.

Years ago my stepson was learning to paint when and left a lot of extra paint on the pallet. So I used it up to make a few smaller pieces..

If you’re a federal govt employee targeted for leave or termination on the basis of your DEI work, please file an EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) complaint & retain legal counsel. I’m a former NIH PI. Happy to refer you to a law firm that has successfully sued the govt many times! Pls repost 🙏❤️

Without govt funding you simply don't have the community of scientists scattered across the US that helped the US to take the lead in scientific development in the 20th century! Members of Congress should be all over how this affects their districts! bsky.app/profile/mons...
