Say you wouldn’t survive unless you get a government handout without etc.

If you are aware of a change in any contract description or personnel position description since November 5, 2024 to obscure the connection between the contract and DEIA or similar ideologies, please report all facts and circumstances to SnitchOMatic@oinkoink.gov

A couple of accessibility folks I know are looking at this “DEIA” ban and sputtering, “but that’s not legal! Accessibility is the law!”

THAT’S NOT THE POINT. Tons of this stuff is illegal. In a functioning democracy, this would all get knocked down.

~but that’s not what we have right now~ and THAT is the point.

Just heard this on CNN from Kevin O’Leary, who’s making a lowball offer to buy TikTok: apparently the ban legislation would require any buyer to clean-room rebuild the app (I guess Project Texas doesn’t count). In other words, TikTok IS LAVA.

IANAL, but that’s not the read I get on this (really pretty short) act. Any leads on a legal analysis?

PSG-City is suddenly bonkers. 2-2. I'm not sure if I can root for City to advance to the knockout stage, but probably better for #LFC overall if they're still playing in Europe vs. staying home and resting up for a PL run.

Did you know the Department of Justice has a Civil Rights Division?

Well, it used to, anyway. Don't be surprised if they're one of the "DEIA" organizations rounded up and fired Wednesday.

Once again I am asking for left-leaning politicians to get their goddamn fucking heads in the game

This isn't even a "call your legislator" kind of situation. It's going to happen. Any organization meant to level the playing field for government employees OR CITIZENS is getting canceled (and apparently some others will get swept up, too). And then it's all lawyers and injunctions and court dates.

But from now until the first temporary restraining order is issued, they're about to eviscerate government access in one fell swoop.

I cannot tell you how fucked this is.

From what I understand, the US Access Board is an independent agency, so it's exempt because it's not part of the executive branch.

However, everyone they work with, all the government agency accessibility teams? Just about everyone I know working in the federal government? They're getting fired tomorrow.

"Employees in any (US federal) Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility offices will be placed on paid administrative leave 'effective immediately.'"

Tomorrow at 5pm is their last day. Agencies have to make a plan for firing them all by next Friday.

They're salting the earth.

Thinking a lot about Mike Dukakis and Willie Horton today. Trump just pardoned over a thousand Willie Hortons. It’s obvious some of them are going to reoffend, but will there be any consequence whatsoever for releasing them?

Fun fact: Ellison is older than Trump. Stellar pick for the king of Gen Z media.
