Black History Month is a celebration of resilience and progress—but also a reminder that DEI in the workplace is under attack. Seeing rollbacks is frustrating, but I won’t stop fighting for inclusion.

Diversity makes us stronger. Equity makes us better. Inclusion makes us whole.

From Amazon warehouse to port strikes, shippers and the DOT are preparing for an unpredictable 2025 Amazon worker labor action amid the holidays, and the threat of a ports strike in January, has shippers preparing for a chaotic start to 2025.

The Amazon warehouse strikes are the latest supply chain headwind facing companies this holiday season, and labor battles — which have been a prominent feature of trade disruptions this year — will contribute to “another year of disruption” for global shipping in 2025.

I know I am avoiding politics but didn’t the #GOP and #Conservatives openly support #KyleRittenhouse?!?! Please, save your pearl clutching about #Mangione…. Rittenhouse was ACTUALLY a terrorist. #DoubleStandard #HeKilledACEO

#SabrinaCarpenter is a singer in her own lane making an amazing Christmas special that we didn’t know we needed! Also, I can tell she is just a different type of star because she had like a 5 minute blooper reel at the end. Spectacular!

Sabrina Carpenter is perhaps my new #obsession! This Christmas special on #Netflix though? Like she is what we need.

Congratulations #CaitlinClark on the next achievement of many, I am sure! It’s so amazing to see such a great former Iowan out there doing so much good and changing the game when it comes to the #WNBA #TimeMagazine

It’s Time For Us to Be Wicked Written by Brett Meiselas

In a country of autocrats pushing populism and propaganda, it’s time for us to be “wicked.”

Good afternoon #BlueSky and my friends! This week is going to be an amazing week, don’t ya think? #StayingPositive #LoveYourLife

And you are still somewhat sane enough to post a coherent message on BlueSky… you have made it!

Faux News may be crowing right now but you have gained no one and it merely means that that group has gone elsewhere for news. Me included. #MSMSucks

Post by Scott Dworkin: CNN averaged only about 260,000 viewers per day, losing out to channels like Bravo and The Food Network. After CNN spent years relentlessly attacking Biden and Harris, while sane-washing Trump and his cult members, this ratings disaster is well-deserved.

Can’t say I’m surprised. Or sorry.

Pete Hegseth Suggested Women Share Blame for HIV Exposure When Sexually Promisicous Partner Hides Diagnosis Trump's Defense nominee: "Did these woman really think they were going to get a clean bill of health dealing with Charlie Sheen at this point?"

In a clip uncovered by MeidasTouch, Trump's pick for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, suggested women share the blame for HIV exposure when a sexually promiscuous partner hides his diagnosis.

I am so happy for Kate Martin. I think she will be better utilized on this new team! #HawkeyeForever #BleedBlackAndGold

They can try to silence us, they can try to intimidate us, but know this fight is just beginning… we have been ready for this time in history. The pendulums about to swing pretty violently. #TheResistance

Trump: billionaire

The race to the bottom… was Iowa #2 and #50? That’s what I expect now that we are run by conservatives….

Amen. Amen!

This is an absolute disgusting shame on this party. They have done a lot of horrible things but protecting a possible sexual predator? So much for the party of transparency… but most ir us knew that was a lie all along… #Pathetic

We need someone like her or Crockett on this committee! We need people who can fight the right and their obsession with attacking services while bolstering unnecessary military assets. Please let this happen. #Time2Fight #FactsOverLies

In a way, this platform reminds me of Twitter in the early days because the environment was so positive. I just want it to keep going! #PositivityMatters

Thanks to the left, you can work a 40-hour week, take a weekend off, and still have time to marry whoever you love.

I couldn’t agree more. There is no room for the alt-right or the extremists on this platform. Go back to X or whatever and yell at each other… or is that not as fun? #BlueSky #WeLoveBlueSky

Also can I just say it is nice to have an adult conversations and discourse with different opinions without all the hate and negativity?!? This is what I like to do. Hear out viewpoints and try to understand alternative views. #ThankYou

Now this I agree with. I think our youth has been negatively impacted by the use. There should be some sort of regulation so that minors are not exposed to the same things as adults because some of it can become traumatic to minors.

I mean I get it but I don’t see the danger as many other people do. American companies like Facebook and LinkedIn and Google have been collected more dangerous data on us for years and my understanding is they sell it as part of their business so why is this different? It’s just direct.

I don’t really understand this. We have plenty of foreign companies operating in the US with access to any data they want to buy… and because we have a popular social media app that increases discussion and they want to ban it. Seems like a plot to keep Americans isolated. #SeemsSneaky

Good morning #BlueSky!!!! Today is going to be a beautiful day! #TGIF
