Don’t let this get lost in the blind rage of it all. The executive order re: #DEI mentions the removal and erasure of accessibility measures by name in the body of the text.

Eggs are going to be so cheap when we remove all of the wheelchair ramps from federal buildings!

As @broadwaybabyto points out, civil rights cases are also frozen, which is how ADA complaints are filed.

@developerjustin Disability is not mentioned at all, they can't remove the ADA.

@pauljadam @developerjustin This is the first time I’ve seen an A tacked onto DEI. ‘the termination of all discriminatory programs, including illegal DEI and “diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility” (DEIA) mandates, policies, programs, preferences, and activities in the Federal Government, under whatever name they appear.’

@micmath same, they usually never have the A there even if the A folks wanted to be included in DEI @developerjustin

@micmath It's been around for a few years. They are scrubbing things fast.

"Accessibility, the “A” in DEIA, is a foundation on which the federal workforce must build diversity, equity and inclusion for people with disabilities. Without accessibility, we cannot truly achieve the others.

This guide is designed to support Federal Agencies with implemention of President Biden’s Executive Order (14035) "

@paul @pauljadam @developerjustin Considering the new federal snitches scheme that overtly threatens government employees if they don’t rat out any attempt to shield a program by renaming it or otherwise obscuring its purpose, I expect there will quickly be no letters D E I or A in any federal program names.

@micmath I learned to type on an old typewriter that was missing some type hammers. Good luck to them coming up with words without certain letters. Words only using vowels O, U and sometimes Y and W will be hoot to come up with.😂

@developerjustin This order also talks about going after private companies with DEI policies. I remember when the Republican party and conservatives were about defending the rights of individuals and companies. I guess now that's only true if you agree with the MAGA culture warriors.

Beyond that, some of what's coming out of the White House is just plain mean spirited. What's the point of changing the name of Mount Denali other than to just putting American Indians in their place.
