Blaming an airplane crash on DEI is unconscionable. Families and loved ones of victims deserve answers from a thorough investigation, not from someone’s ideology. This should be a time where we center the humanity of those who are grieving.

“Approximately 10,000 refugees who were scheduled to fly to the US have had their flights canceled and no new bookings will be made, a State Department memo says. The memo also says that case processing is suspended, effectively shutting the program.” www.wishtv.com/news/refugee...

Arguably, I would assert that Project 2025 was in Indiana long before this new slate of bills. Criminalizing people for wearing masks in public, particularly immunocompromised communities, is unconscionable- among many other bills that harm women’s rights, LGBTQ+ communities, and children.

While minding my business in public, a man went out of his way to approach my family and shared how today is the greatest day for our country. It was purposeful and we refused to give him the reaction he wanted. I have been reminded how empowered people feel under his leadership. And yes, he was…

Recently, I watched an episode of Super Kitties with my child. Mr. Puppypaws (villain) purposefully placed a group of small animals in a distressing situation, so he could later rescue them and be known as a hero instead of a villain. This Tik Tok ban is no different from that episode.

“Instead, Braun ordered the initiative (DEI) be replaced with MEI, or “merit, excellence, and innovation.” Nearly 24 hours have passed, and I’m still floored over the new governor’s mandate to focus on MEI- as if you cannot achieve those areas through equitable practices and nurturing systems.

Indiana HB 1394, proposes to turn schools into agents of ICE. Schools will no longer have refugee or immigrant student populations, because our lawmakers do not care for their existence nor want to educate them.

The consequences of the governor election in IN were clear. This news was expected. Braun’s executive order coupled with bills to dismantle public education within IN (e.g., Gary, IPS, etc.) and to deny immigrant children their rights to learn is unconscionable. www.wishtv.com/news/politic...

When this group was in high school, they created an affinity space called Future Black Leaders (FBL). As adults, they have shifted FBL into a business that supports Black youth. I couldn’t be more proud of these former students and love how they keep me involved in their lives! Weekend highlight!

Project 2025 has already been in motion within most states, including Indiana. Dissolving one of the largest public school districts in Indiana that serves more than 80% students of color is an intentional choice from lawmakers. www.wfyi.org/news/article...
