"For decades, the federal government has positioned itself as being committed to inclusive hiring and long-term retention across agencies. But as mass layoffs ripple through the federal workforce under President Donald Trump’s Republican administration, disabled employees are among those being let go."

Exacty! How many jobs & opportunities have we been denied because they couldn't be done remotely but were made that way overnight for the able bodied when COVID hit. We've all seen how easy it was, so there's no excuse for our exclusion when #COVID is over. #AdaptTheFeed https://t.co/oKOXwtIZe2

#Editorial : #Censoring the #scientific enterprise, one grant at a time
Over the last two weeks, in response to #ExecutiveOrder 14035, the National Science Foundation ( #NSF ) has discontinued funding for research on #diversity , #equity , and #inclusion ( #DEI ), as well as support for researchers from marginalized backgrounds

Wow, more intimidation of non-profit groups:
"The Republican-controlled U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security is investigating the Chinese-American Planning Council, a New York City nonprofit, alleging in a letter that the taxpayer-funded group’s know-your-rights training sessions may help undocumented people evade immigrant enforcement officers."
As expected, no empathy or compassion was shown in response to my "deep" introductory post—only an expectation and a request for me to provide additional work and #EmotionalLabour for the unit coordinator (which, I had already completed).
So yes, while I appreciate that there was no #InspirationPorn, it would be nice to hear that they acknowledge it and are happy to support if needed.
@thenarwhal I'm gonna be contacting his office a lot because they're neoliberals & capitalists at end of day. #Landback #Equity #SocialJustice #EcoJustice #HoldLeadersAccountable
New Jersey is now among 16 states that have declined to sign a letter from the Nazi Regime asking states to certify that they are not using "illegal DEI" policies in public schools. #resist #resistance #diversity #equity #inclusion #DiversityEquityInclusion
1. Learn to spot the signs of patterns of domination (like the shoots of some invasive plant such as knot-weed, popping up here & there).
2. Practice understanding the relationship between the signs of domination (like figuring out where the roots of the knot-weed are beneath the soil)
3. Make new signs – ones that tell a different, more mutual story (a bit like sowing a whole new ecosystem, into ground that was previously dominated by one).
7 patterns of dominance.
(A thread 
)
1. Tolerance.
Allowing small doses of difference (especially those that are of benefit to our own or our company/organization's agenda) – but never enough to cause change to the power relationship. Diversity, but not equity!

"If you spot the problem, you are the problem."
We all act like our structures of oppression are only of interest to, and the responsibility of, those who are oppressed by them.
Bears repeating… often: “The democratic recession does not begin when a far-right party takes office. It begins when a centrist party crushes hope in democracy. When Keir Starmer’s government takes a chainsaw to people’s aspirations for a fairer, greener, kinder country, he cuts off not just faith in the Labour party but faith in politics itself. The almost inevitable result, as countries from the US to the Netherlands, Argentina to Austria, Italy to Sweden show, is to let the far right in." 
“The three individuals who ran that DEI office in the medical faculty — all of whom are members of racialized minorities — are being replaced by a single person who does not come from such a minority background”
Why are Canadian institutions bending a knee and complying in advance?
