🤬 #SCOTUS allows #Trump officials to freeze #teacher training grants over *#DEI*

A divided #SupremeCourt on Fri cleared the way for the admin to at least temporarily freeze up to $65M in #educational grants designed to address #TeacherShortages, which the govt says fund programs that promote #diversity, #equity & #inclusion [as they should, though the Trump admin’s definition of DEI is humanity].

More of this please:

The #NY State #Education Dept issued a defiant response to #Trump’s threats to pull federal #funding from #PublicSchools over #diversity, #equity & #inclusion programs, a remarkable departure from recent conciliatory approaches of other institutions. A day earlier, the federal govt issued a memo to education ofcls across the nation, telling them to confirm the elimination of all programs it argues *unfairly* promote #DEI.

Things that are NOT a #choice, in no particular order:
- Being #LGBTQ+
- Being #Disabled / Unable to Work
- Skin Color
- #Economic Circumstances at Birth
- Country of Origin
- Brain Chemistry

Things that ARE a choice:
- #Religion
- #Bigotry
- #Taxation
- #Government Spending
- Systemic #Equity or Lack Thereof

We need to choose to make life better for the 98%, because of those things that are NOT a choice. #Taxtherich, and use the funds to promote economic equity. That's called #Civilization .

The main issue with freeing the kids, is that kids cannot vote. This is not un-doable. With slaves, slaves could not vote. But there were enough non-slaves that agreed that slaves should be freed. So it passed through. With women rights until some point in time women couldn't vote too. But there were e...

People across the country are fed up with both parties bowing down to billionaires. They want to tax the rich now. They want to keep Social Security and expand Medicare. They are sick and tired of corporate greed running rampant in our policy-making.
In a democracy, power should be in the hands of workers, community members, and democratically accountable representatives—not billionaires who are trying to enrich themselves at our expense. —Rashida Tlaib, congresswoman. #USPol #USPolitics #politics #democracy #Billionaires #TaxBillionaires #equity #ClassWar #PowerToThePeople

The US was built on stolen land, from murdered populations, using enslaved labor

"A house built on sand cannot stand...." & this house has been given plenty of time to recognize its cruel ignorant arrogance

I am heartbroken about the suffering the fall of this house is causing but praying we can eventually rebuild on Rock:

In an especially strange twist, the case — against #TownstoneFinancial, a small Chicago-based lender — was brought during #Trump’s first term by Kathleen Kraninger, the director he appointed to run the #CFPB.

#RussVought, who became the agency’s acting director last month, said it had “used radical ‘#equity’ arguments to tag Townstone as #racist with zero evidence, & spent years persecuting & extorting them.”

As someone genuinely passionate about diversity, equity and inclusion, it pains me to see recommendations for job offers at companies such as Nestlé. They are well known for exploiting both people and natural resources, which in turn negatively and disproportionally affects maginalised groups.

These companies don't care about justice, they don't care about improving living conditions for all – or at least as many poeple as possible – they only care about PR, and at best try to slightly improve the work experience for those already enjoying a plethora of privileges.

📢 Affirming Our Commitment to Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility.

The Carpentries has always been committed to fostering an inclusive, equitable, and accessible community. In light of growing global challenges to efforts that support diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility—including the impact of the recent U.S. Executive Order on related programs—we want to reaffirm our stance.

💡 Creating inclusive and equitable learning spaces is essential to open science and open education—not radical, wasteful, or preferential.

For 27 years, our community has built pathways to make learning more accessible, research more reproducible, and collaboration more inclusive. We remain steadfast in that mission.

The Carpentries · The Carpentries' Reinforced Commitment to Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and AccessibilityCommunity, As a U.S.-based, global non-profit organisation serving hundreds of thousands of practitioners and advocates who emphasise the critical role of software and data in advancing research, we would be remiss not to speak up about the impact of the U.S. government’s Executive Order on DEI Programs and Preferencing. The impact has been felt globally. Unfortunately, we are witnessing a global trend of attacks on science and initiatives that champion inclusion, equity, diversity, and accessibility. We rarely make public statements, preferring to focus on daily operations that help us achieve our mission. However, the growing impact of the Executive Order has prompted us to reaffirm our position.
