We’re in a new era. Looking for “your part?” It’s an excellent time to renew our commitment to belonging in the workplace. You don’t need to be an HR pro or a consultant or a manager. You just need to care about fairness and belonging.

Healthy news-reading habits
Social media strategies for well-being
Setting boundaries with your phone
Techniques for talking about issues that cause anxiety
How to relieve feelings of helplessness
How to make philanthropy a daily habit

Not only is this some gaslighting bullshit, since they're using the exact essence of "equality" in their crusade against it. Thus, rendering its meaning senseless. But this is actually an attack on class. On giving opportunity to smart people who can't afford college. apnews.com/article/trum...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- More than 50 universities are being investigated for alleged racial discrimination as part of President Donald Trump's campaign to end diversity, eguity_and inclusion programs that his officials say exclude white and Asian American students.
The Education Department announced the new investigations Friday, one month after issuing a memo warning America's schools and colleges that they could lose federal money over "race-based preferences" in admissions, scholarships or any aspect of student life.
"Students must be assessed according to merit and accomplishment, not prejudged by the color of their skin," Education Secretary Linda McMahon said in a statement. "We will not yield on this commitment."

"If Hegseth’s commissars want to replace the history of the Tuskegee Airmen... a functionary at the Pentagon can do it with a keystroke, while zapping away references to gays, to minorities, to women—perhaps with the hope that one day, no one will even remember what’s been lost."

Many members of this movement believe that the “left,” or whatever remains of it now, is engaged in a war on the traditional family, on masculinity, on American capitalism, on Christmas and Christians. They see DEI as one of the many spiritual and moral pathogens that threaten to infect fine young men and women (especially white ones) and turn them into sexually decadent Marxists.

They also seem to believe that the way to stop this is to engage in rewriting history so that impressionable young Americans don’t accidentally encounter positive images of Black or female or gay service members. After all, there’s no telling where that leads.

Also important to note that the estimates that place trans people at 1.3 million are rather old, from the Williams Institute, which did good work at the time mind you. Latest Gallup poll shows 1.3% of people now identify as trans, which would be over 4 million people!
