As a writer who believes in free speech, as a Jew who refuses this censorship in my name, as a member of Columbia faculty, as a constituent living in Jeffries' district, as a person with green card holding family, as the daughter of an immigrant, as a human: FUCK THIS. FREE KHALIL.

The Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool was developed under Biden’s Justice40 initiative (an EO to allocate 40% of climate investments to disadvantaged communities). Trump rescinded the EO and took down the tool within 72 hours of being inaugurated.

"It’s not just data that matters, but also code for websites that people interact with. There are a lot of important tools out there. Even if data is there somewhere, it’s not much use if it’s all zipped up in a file."

A spokesperson from Perkins Coie messaged me their response: “We have reviewed the Executive Order. It is patently unlawful, and we intend to challenge it.”
Perkins Coie maintains its stated commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Beekeepers are advocating for the proposed ban on imported non-native bees, which is going through the Oireachtas. Banning imports, however, has historically been difficult since bees are considered to be livestock and therefore have "freedom of movement across the EU."

Moral of the story: don’t judge unhoused folks who use drugs either unless and until you’ve been in their shoes. Also, homelessness could happen to anyone at any moment.

And that’s not to say ESG isn’t without its issues; much like DEI (which is part of ESG), ESG can be performative as fuck—not every company with an ESG statement is acting in good faith—but that shouldn’t take away from its overarching goals and significance.

If you or your org’s mission don’t support a better environment or ways to make your org and society more sustainable, whatever (do you), but don’t get in the way of others who are focused on sustainability and finding ways to be more impactful/less wasteful and destructive.
