DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

I had to explain this in class. This is the "a" in DEIA: accessabilty...meaning disabled people...meaning, eventually, everyone.
Special Education is "DEI." Do you know how much your local school division receives for essential Spec. Ed. programming from the federal gov't? Last year we requested $2.5 million.
I’m so fucking furious at this shit

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
