If you work in the federal government (particularly civil rights at DOJ) or state or local agencies that get federal funding, and have info about new anti-DEI and anti-civil rights mandates, please reach out to me on signal at nhannahjones.67.

I literally just sent an email to my boss about federal procurements and DBE requirements. By definition these no longer exist now. This needs an AG opinion tho not our division lawyers.
IDK what Signal is, but we started getting e-mails this week about shutting everything down. I'm new to Bluesky so I don't know if there's a DM feature.
Maybe nobody cares but the destruction of DEI in tech also has horrible side effects in labor organizing and removing guide rails from irresponsible tech implementations
Maybe nothing will be apparent anyway, DEI in tech didn’t manage to get very far
Or stay on for at least a while and do everything you can to sabotage every activity that advances Trump's agenda - a little mistake on a form here, a misfiled document there, gum things up, slow things down, confound them.
Off topic, but I just want to say I am SO GLAD to see you here, have been missing your absolutely critical voice and content. Peace and blessings to you!!

that has been underreported, Google fired two lead scientists after they offered a mild warning
This book is about something else, not encouraging tho
