So much for the #MeToo movement and all of those DEI pledges. The latest State of Women in Tech and Startups report shows that women continue to experience rampant harassment and discrimination. #womenintech #founders #tech  https://t.co/uIAL4YfHUi

isn’t it crazy that republicans can link tylenol to autism but not guns to mass shootings

A quarter (24%) of respondents have even stopped shopping at their favorite stores because of their politics (Black: 35%, gen Z: 32%, Democratic: 31%).

31% of Americans reported having no interest in supporting the economy this year – a sentiment especially felt by younger (gen Z: 37%), Black (41% v white: 28%), and Democratic consumers (35% v 29% of independents and 28% of Republicans).

Many consumers and shareholders feel betrayed. A new Harris poll found that four in 10 Americans have shifted spending to align with their moral views in recent months.

All of this makes the head-spinning declarations of loyalty to Trump that many companies have shown in recent weeks rather curious. Businesses ranging from Meta to Target who once rushed to embrace #DEI & celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth have rushed to erase any sign of solidarity.

When I was younger, I had a lovely older neighbor who’d graduated from Harvard as a historian at a time when there was deep antisemitism. He’d share printed old news articles to remind me of the ways that businesses turned a blind eye to #fascism in the 1930s & profited off of it

How Corporate America and Big Tech are Forgetting About the Majority - my latest op-ed over on @Forbes #tech #DEI https://t.co/XPxwCdyac6

Democrats in Congress: WHAT IS THE PLAN? Going on Sunday shows and spewing consultant speak isn't going to cut it. Twelve inspectors general fired and there's no sit-in? No filibuster? No direction to voters? And in fact, some of you are actually voting for Trump's agenda?

Now PayPal is being sued by a woman of color for discrimination. The fact that this ended with PayPal being sued by a woman of color was the most predictable outcome because #BigTech in general has fundamentally misunderstood the problems they were seeking to address with #DEI.

it’s been a chief talking point on the political right for a while now. With #Trump returning to office and #tech CEOs writing seven-figure checks for the inauguration taking place today, #DEI is on the chopping block.

In the 2025 season arc, it's no surprise that corporate DEI programs were at the top of the call sheet. It's been a pet peeve for many CEOs like Mark Zuckerberg who blamed Sheryl Sandberg for pressuring Meta to implement DEI programs. How on brand to blame a woman! #DEI #tech

How Big Tech Failed DEI. My latest op-ed over on @Forbes #tech #startups #DEI

So, why did $TRUMP choose to start a shitcoin and why on Solana? Shall we follow the 'MoNeY' to find out if there are any conflicts of interest and misaligned incentives? 🧵

So @photomatt - I saw the post by @automattic. I'm ready to lead the next releases. I am sure plenty of people and companies are willing to help me and we've got plenty of ideas on what we should be doing. #WordPress

NEW: Those impacted by the wildfires can now apply for federal assistance. We just launched https://t.co/v5w9E52IAb as a one stop resource for information and details on how to apply. Please share with anyone you know that might be impacted by these unprecedented fires.

Will be sharing more on @bluesky. Ping me there if you want to talk startups, tech, democracy, saving our country from fascists, and more.

A member of the Wash Post editorial department tells me: Bezos's decision not to endorse is "an outrageous abdication of responsibility. Democracy doesn't die in darkness, it dies when people anticipatorily consent to a fascist's whims."

How is this the United States of America? Supreme Court Decides to Let Texas Women Die. A lower court decision barring emergency #abortions in #Texas will stand. #Election2024

Gutted to learn that @Tinu passed away. She deserved so much better. Our #healthcare system failed her. You can read Tinu's writing here. "To be a Black #disabled #woman in America is to be unwillingly invisible in your greatest time of need."
