> Oh, and also, fuck the government. There is a proposal to radically alter requirements to register in the System for Award Management (SAM) which is necessary to receive federal grants. Requirements, unsurprisingly, that involve prohibitions against “illegal DEI,” cooperation with ICE, “support for terrorism” and the usual patently illegal Trump bullshit. Currently open for public comment!

Just when you thought it couldn’t possibly get any worse, it does.

Apparently organizations applying for federal grants have to assert, regarding DEI, that (among other things) no, they do not support diversity, they hate the idea of equity, and heaven forfend that they should ever support the inclusion of brown people or gays among their staff.
