Nice overview from @gabydvj.bsky.social about what all the anti-DEI stuff is really about. It's not only a dogwhistle for anyone who isn't a straight white Christian man — the anti-DEI crowd wants to undo the Civil Rights Movement. They want to codify eugenics. www.theverge.com/politics/613...

They are trying to hang on, while also wondering when they'll confront a line they're not willing to cross. Here's what they told us: www.theverge.com/policy/60561...
