My local brewpub, Kulshan Brewery, has this poster in their front window. More businesses need to take a stand, post similar messages publicly, and identify themselves as safe spaces in the resistance.

I've often thought about this visual. Equality is good... Equity is better... But I'd rather just get rid of the fence! 💙

#Trump revokes a 1965 order banning discrimination in federal hiring.
Trump on Wednesday revoked a 60-yr-old #ExecutiveOrder banning #discrimination in #hiring practices in the federal govt, his latest action aimed at gutting #diversity, #equity & #inclusion initiatives.
His order, which the WH called “the most important federal #CivilRights measure in decades,” [said without irony] revokes ExecutiveOrder 11246 signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965.

Meta terminates its DEI programs days before Trump inauguration
What's is not to like? Along witch scappiung moderation, another costs cutting measure that enables a man to survie with his head stuck firmly up Trump's arse.

Sod people defending Meta because 'people know it and it is too difficult to switch' - wmell the cawfee fiolks. Friends don't klet friends use meta or X.
1/🧵 I've been invited to partner with a local county to put on a presentation on how private non-profits can best prepare for disasters in terms of mutual aid and access federal aid for recovery.
There's such a need for education for all organizations these days, this stuff is too complicated unless you can afford consultants.
Which creates #equity issues that many governments have difficulties in addressing.
I want to send some data into the ether that may interest people who wonder how US governments recover from the increasing occurrences of #disasters.

Stop being irritated by disabled people's anger at society and the government for exclusion, ableism, and inaccessibility.
Instead: Be angry with us.

Disabled people shouldn’t have to ask for access, accommodations, or basic civil rights.
The ableist system puts nondisabled folks in charge as gatekeepers, controlling what rights we get.
That’s not justice — it’s exclusion.

As users of Mastodon and the fediverse toot photos of wintery scenes, it occurs to me that California may be the only remaining warm-weather state of the USA where liberals with GLBTQ+ family members or other diverse persons can live quietly with dignity and without much fear of persecution. (1/6)
