Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

No good until they loudly bring them back.
It never should have been loud in the first place. Just have them. Do them. It doesn’t even need to be called DEI. These are things that should exist as a norm.
Exactly. And if you want DEI removed, you're gonna have to define it for me. Cause all I hear is "woman and minorities."
I like to ask them which letter of DEI they think is the worst one and watch them realize they can't answer without being a bad person.
They don't mind being bad people, they love being loud assholes
Honestly, I feel like most companies didn’t do a big marketing thing about this stuff. If was commenting that pretty much just got promoted on the careers page so applicants knew about the company culture
Also, because HR usually owns the careers page, and DEI teams usually roll in HR
To me if they made a big deal about it, it’s because they weren’t actually making a big deal about it. Where are the metrics?
If I work for a company that has a DEI policy, and I think my manager fired me because they don’t like something about me that falls into that category, there’s not much recourse for that because there is a DEI policy in place so obviously it was my “job performance.”
"systemic human resources roadblock removal"
SHRRR
Its kind of like when racial quotas were struck down by the courts for colleges. I dont think we need to have quotas for racial categories of people, but the school can still overall choose for diversity in any given instance without having legit racial quotas. They can see the diversity of any applicant as a benefit to their application over a student who does not offer that perspective.
The law cant say “universities arent allowed to value diversity” but its fair that it can say “schools arent allowed to admit based on ‘we want X amount of Y race of people’”
Overall, a system that just recognizes, values, and attempts to incorporate diverse perspectives is far better than something like racial quotas, even though they are both “DEI”
That was a long sentence, what do you disagree with though?
june 1st is coming
🔫 Keep walking, Target.
I’ll go back. When their trans kid friendly clothing lines return.
Uh...no? We know where the stand is all I'm saying.
Yup. If they're not doing business with the federal government, they need to point out that it's a free country and they can do whatever the hell they think is good for business. And follow up by pointing out that Target's current condition shows that eliminating DEI is clearly bad for business if it's something that the customer base expects.
