The EAA decided not only to fold under pressure, but to cancel sessions, bully colleagues, and use volunteers (usually mostly students) at a conference as a tool for censorship. This is beyond unacceptable

Here is an interesting adjective quirk that you probably aren’t even aware you are doing.

This idea that there is a god given right for fascists to always be allowed to run in elections because somehow democracy is threatened by not allowing fascists to run for office is profoundly stupid, dangerous and makes people sound patently insane.
Fascists want to kill democracy. That is all.

Clearest proof yet that the Trump admin uses "DEI" to mean "nonwhite people doing something impressive and getting credit."
Navajo Code Talkers made a big difference in WWII. The Axis had more trouble translating their language than cracking codes. And it's not like the Navajo owed the US anything.

NYT: "These Words Are Disappearing in the New Trump Administration" www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
The Words Federal Agencies Are Discouraged From Using Under Trump
Federal agencies have issued guidance to employees on hundreds of terms to limit or avoid using. An analysis of government websites shows many of the same words being removed.
