Wtaf is this question my university just asked me about my project?
Does the project involve any work that could be interpreted as promoting DEIA, climate change research, or non-compliant to any Presidential Executive Orders?

This story is buried on NYT site. And they write "questionable and provocative" claims If Biden said this the whole story would be about cognitive decline--or outrageous lying.
NYT:At 9/11 Tribute, Trump Claims Firefighters Carried Him to Safety

President Trump has long sought to position himself close to the Sept. 11 recovery effort and has made a series of questionable and provocative statements to burnish his political brand.

I am not being hyperbolic. Our insistence on segregating our histories, in encapsulating the struggle for voting/civil rights as a Black struggle and not an American one, has helped bring us to this moment. We did not have representative democracy until 1965. W/o the VRA, it is unlikely to survive.

They say you don’t really understand a policy until you feel it in your bones. Not read about it. Not debate it. Feel it at 3 a.m., when the house is so cold you can see your breath and you’re bargaining with the thermostat like it’s a luxury item instead of a lifeline.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

The WGA’s statement on ABC’s decision to pull “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!
 
The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other – to disturb, even – is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
 
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to – painful as it may be at times – is the freeing agreement to disagree.
 
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
 
The WGA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Just a quick note: Federalizing the D.C. National Guard is not the same thing as “martial law.” I’m not saying that makes it good, but martial law is when the military *supplants* civil government, not just doing law enforcement. Don’t credit him with more power than he has (because he’ll take it)
