#LGBTQ#DEI#Women#VotingRights#SocialSecurity#Immigration Our very own #Democracy is at stake, and getting distracted by the War in Gaza being led by entitled anti- Biden rhetoric is designed to remove you from the real threats here in America and suppress your votes while leaving an opening for Trump and MAGA to slip right into the White House, Stay focused and vote with collective power understanding the long game not short term.
One 28-year-old woman, who worked in HR, said she'd seen people who were forced to leave their jobs or who were passed over for promotions after taking maternity leave, which had been enough to convince her never to have a baby.
#Alabama bans #DEI in schools and says bathrooms must be designated by โbiological sexโ
The law (SB129) bans โassigning โfault, blame or biasโ to any race, religion, gender or color, or discussions of whether โslavery and racism are aligned with the founding principles of the United Statesโ
#DEI is the new #Republican code for #The_Nword. Wherever you see Republicans complaining about DEI, just substitute DEI for "N-words" to understand exactly what they're talking about. It's no surprise that Republicans are overt #racists who view #BlackAmericans as shit on their shoe. They barely try to hide their #bigotry, only doing the bare minimum to skate by the watchful eye of critics. But this latest attempt at euphemism is embarrassingly transparent.
' โWe know what these folks really want to say when they say DEI mayor,โ he told The Banner. โWhether it is DEI or clown. They really want to say the โnโ word.

"Baltimore mayor rips right-wing 'DEI mayor' attacks. Right-wingers smear Brandon Scott, who was elected with over 70%, as a diversity hire after Key Bridge collapse."

These #MAGAts are utterly shameless. People are dead. People are missing. And all these evil, opportunists can think to do is spread absurd lies about the #BaltimoreBridgeCollapse for their own self-serving agendas. First they said it was diversity initiatives (#DEI) that caused the collapse. Then they said it was #Russianterrorists. Now, it's #Biden's infrastructure policy. These people have absolutely no credibility, and they should be ashamed of themselves.
โThe US House Office of DEI will be dissolved as part of the govt spending bill that passed today -officeโs dir. Sesha Joi Moon said in a statement that her dept will be replaced by the Office of Talent Mgt under the Office of the Chief Admin.,Officer.
