The boys’ club: How Epstein’s influence shaped the exclusion of women in STEM In one email, an AI researcher suggested it’s “hard to be brilliant if you are worrying if you look fat or why another woman hates you.”

Military action should be the power of Congress. 47 wants to start a war. But GOP
Says no. This is a first time 47 has been stopped. Yet he continues to try to distract from all they need to do. Follow and reject 47. Stay woke don’t get confused by chaos.

The U.S. is now a...

Kleptocracy: rule by thieves, officials use political power to steal national wealth & resources for personal gain

Kakistocracy: rule by least qualified, most ignorant & unprincipled citizens

Plutocracy: rule by wealthy, using their riches to influence policy for own benefit

We end up micro-dosing hate when we let fear masquerade as safety.

We have an administration who uses our fear to justify violence against immigrants.

We must learn from history:

“Generally speaking, violence always arises out of impotence. It is the hope of those who have no power” Hannah Arendt

US citizen, 67, ‘has six ribs broken’ by Border Patrol agents, his running club says The incident unfolded Saturday in Chicago’s Old Irving Park neighborhood, where residents say federal agents disrupted a children’s Halloween parade

"According to his running club, the man, who is a U.S. citizen, was returning from a team run when agents pulled him out of his vehicle, tackled him to the ground and kneeled on top of him, allegedly breaking six ribs and causing internal bleeding"

Yes and that’s the issue - they hide behind MEI

We want MEI at work:
Merit, Excellence & Intelligence

👉 But we hire thru word-of-mouth

👉👉 We fill positions internally

👉👉👉 Social events after work get you the tap on the shoulder

Don’t let the anti-DEI folks fool you: MEI protects resources, power & status for select few.

Yes, we’re seeing this in our research on the backlash to DEI: sometimes it’s not done right at all or worse, done very, very wrong

👉 We spend 90,000+ hours or about 1/3 of our lifetime at work

👉👉 Imagine spending that time at a place with a culture of exclusion & unfairness

👉👉👉 Or imagine spending that time in a place that has a culture of inclusion & fairness

DEI done right = legal, ethical & strategic

Yesterday, we made history. Around 7 MILLION people across the United States stood up to say #NoKings, with allies around the world in countries like Japan, the United Kingdom, France, and Australia joining us in solidarity.

BUT OUR FIGHT IS NOT OVER.

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative
