No one showed up to my Inclusive Learning Environments meetup. Word on the street is that it felt risky to attend and possibly a violation of the new administration’s “cease all DEIA activities“ order.

This is so dumb.
The Gulf of Mexico is now officially known as the “Gulf of America,” at least according to the U.S. government. The Trump administration appears to have the authority to change the name, even though other countries do not have to go along with it. nyti.ms/3EbgOAS

Stay strong 💪🏻 Rep. McBride.
Rep. Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender member of Congress, has arrived in Washington at a time when LGBTQ rights are under assault. She barely spoke about her identity on the campaign trail and would like to continue the same approach, if possible.

Did no one read 1984? This is NOT ok.
The Trump administration warned federal employees of “adverse consequences” for not reporting colleagues resisting orders to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, giving a 10-day deadline to report via a special email account.
