Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’
Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

Despite Trump’s claims, DEI initiatives don’t uplift unqualified candidates – in fact, they make “sure no talent is left on the table,” says @profmmurray.bsky.social.

‘We’re right back where we have always been’: Trump scapegoats DEI in DCA plane crash
President Trump’s politicization of the plane crash outside of Reagan National Airport isn’t just deeply offensive – it’s reckless endangerment of the American public. This rhetoric is part of a broader right-wing campaign to dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion programs across the federal government and private sector. “It is a decidedly racist, sexist, and masculinist agenda,” says Eddie Glaude, Distinguished Professor of African American Studies at Princeton University. And it reinforces the false, racist claim that meritocracy and diversity cannot co-exist, says Melissa Murray. “When we didn't have DEI policies, when we prioritized the hiring of white men, we were effectively looking at only half of the talent pool.”

Nobody is paying attention to things like this because the CDC no longer communicates. The current occupant of the White House broke government. He broke the ability to keep America safe. This is spreading, and this administration plans to pretend it doesn't exist.

We will never be able to defeat MAGA if we only show up during elections. The grassroots organizing that happens after November is also important. It’s how we defeat GOP legislation and get Democrats from Congress on down to local school boards to fight back against the MAGA agenda.
