It's long term Orban-ism we need to worry about the most.
Hungary's transformation into an 'electoral autocracy' has parallels to Trump's second term
U.S. conservatives have looked to Hungary's Viktor Orbán as an inspiration for a right-wing America, and the prime minister has become a close ally of President Donald Trump

DEI isn't there to hire unqualified people of colour, women or people with disabilities... it's there to make sure they get a shot if they are better than or equal to a white male.
The only people who don't like DEI are mediocre white men. If you are triggered by this, you might be mediocre.

As seen in the Guardian (a UK not for profit newspaper without any corporate or political influence): Nothing to see here... just a government bureaucrat / watchdog getting fired and Trump only violating a tiny law that requires 30 days notice to Congress for such removals.

Last year I created a new stand up comedy competition event called PNW LOL Showdown with Cascadian comics from both sides of the border. I envisioned it to include any comic from BC, Washington & Oregon. Trump ruined my vision and I am not sure what Year 2 will look like. 😕
