Costco wouldn't back down on DEI, and now it's going up against the Trump administration, suing on the grounds that Trump overstepped his emergency powers by imposing tariffs — and asking for a refund. Here's more from @CNN on what Costco said in the lawsuit, and the handful of other companies that are separately suing the government.

Microsoft is quietly walking back its diversity efforts // @verge

｢ “The fact that the company (and most of corporate America) just dropped it proves to me that it was always a shallow commitment.” The employee wants “depth and sincerity” in executing DEI policies, which they say Microsoft never achieved ｣

"‘This is censorship.’ Conference requires abstracts to comply with Trump anti-DEI order."

"Planetary scientists planning to attend a prominent conference may soon face a difficult choice: Censor mentions of diversity, equity, and inclusion ( #DEI) from their work, or don’t present it at all."

"Trump has assembled least diverse US government this century, study shows

President has chosen white men for key posts at expense of women and people of colour, Brookings Institution finds. Nine in 10 individuals confirmed by the Senate in the first 300 days of the second Trump administration were white, according to the Brookings Institution thinktank in Washington.

The total percentage of women confirmed was just 16%, the lowest rate among the past four administrations including Trump’s first term (23%)."

would it be impolite to point out that one of these universities, my employer, electively scrubbed DEI from its websites etc. earlier this year, but that apparently did not appease, so they harmed their own campus community for nothing?

✨My new shirt supports LLEGO #Boston!

🤝🏽 For 8 years, this volunteer-led group of Latino law enforcement, public safety officers, and #community leaders has been strengthening trust and partnerships across Boston.

As a first-gen 🇺🇸🇩🇴EMT-B from Dorchester, I’m grateful to support their commitment. Representation matters, and diversity is a strength. This is how we build empowerment.

｢ A morbid side-effect of his condition is that his body is still alive, walking around, delivering keynote addresses at confs and screeds on social media. Yet he exists only as a macabre meat puppet, his sinews pulled taught, controlled entirely by the brain parasite he contracted from a WhatsApp group chat. This state of affairs is upsetting, and confusing, but it bears repeating: the man we knew and loved as dhh is gone ｣

Pendant que la communauté Ruby se demande si la nazisme c'est bien ou pas, la Python Software Fundation (PSF) vient de rejeter 1.5 M$ à cause de la condition liée de n'entreprendre aucun travail en matière de diversité, d'équité et d'inclusion !

La PSF a décliné favorisant ses valeurs à la thune. Bravo.

🐍 Python rejects $1.5M grant from the US government

｢ All PSF activities would be impacted by the clause, not just the grant-funded work, and a violation could permit requesting back the previously approved and transferred funds, creating a financial risk for the foundation.

The PSF states that DEI is central to its mission and values, and therefore is intrinsically incompatible with NSF funding under the proposed conditions ｣
