"Sylvia Rivera began fighting for gay and _____ rights"

WOW.

The first people targeted by fascist are always queer people, the disabled, and racial minorities. And it never stops there.
There has been a shift in the Trump team's language in their anti-DEI attacks. All of a sudden they started calling it "DEIA", with the A being "accessibility". If you don't think it's a coordinated effort to remove disabled people from every facet of life, well I have news for you.
17 states are suing to overturn section 504.

If your boss or company tells you to do something unethical: don't say yes. Make them write it down.
If they won't put it in writing yourself. Send an email (bcc yourself?): "Following our conversation on x date at x time regarding x, I am writing to clarify your directives. According to my notes, you instructed me to A, B, and C. If any of this is incorrect, please advise. I have some concerns."

The silence from the women’s sports community and its athletes regarding the EO banning trans women’s and girls from women’s sports? It’s deafening.

I hope people see how truly alarming this is:

1. Musk's team, who may not even be US govt employees yet, have complete access to OPM's databases of PII on federal employees and have locked out career employees

2. Musk's people trying to do same with THE US TREASURY MASTER PAYMENT SYSTEM 🚨

This is an impeachable offense.
This is absolutely insane.

Donald Trump suggests he will only provide aid to California if they pass a voter ID law.

Then he said he’ll put no conditions on North Carolina, a state that voted for him.

What a petty, evil man.

The “A” in DEIA stands for accessibility. Federal workers with disabilities, including many veterans, deserve respect and the opportunity to work in public service. A diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible workplace makes public service better and makes everyone’s lives better.
