This is insane. And unconstitutional.
For the record, we'll be keeping our DEI programs at Flipboard which have been a big positive for our team and our business.

@mike Thank you, Mike!
@mike Grateful for every company that stands up to this nonsense and intimidation!
@mike Proud to be a Flipboarder
absolute lunacy
@mike People say "they can't do that" Or "it unconstitutional." Yes, the can do that and will until someone stops them. And if no one can stop them they will do it and get away with it.
tRUmp and Musk have shown us right to our faces that they are above all laws.
@mike A corollary for Pam. Bondi's statement would seem to be that there should be criminal investigations of anyone who objects to someone making crude, sexist comments about Pam Bondi. Instead of "when they go low, we go high," it would be "when they go low, we go lower," which appears to be the new presidential standard.
@mike And the crime is?
@mike Seeking to abuse the power of the DOJ to fight Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, signature constitutional ideals is Pam Bondi's first violation of her oath of office, to also support & defend the Reconstruction Amendments ## 13, 14 & 15, which are meant to boost the acceptance of the nation's diversity, the enforcement of equal status & protection, and the inclusive integration of formerly abused, disenfranchised, discriminated & exploited human beings in all areas of daily life.
Adding to it, that Bondi has obviously never heard of "E Pluribus Unum" — "Out of many, one", the traditional motto of the United States.
Or she's intentionally ignoring it, coming from a traditionally Confederate state.
Statement from Maya Wiley, president and CEO of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Right, condemning the confirmation of Bondi as U.S. AG:

@mike So much for the "pro-private-business" crowd. As much a farce as their free speech claims. They are just control freaks who will say anything that gets the gullibles riled up.
@mike Pam Bondi can criminally eat goat dick. Go fucking investigate Scientology.
@mike If every company told him “you have no power over us” instead of pulling back in fear, this wouldn’t be an issue. It only makes sense if promises were made, perhaps special tax exemptions, for companies like Target, McDonald’s, Amazon and Google to end DEI measures when they certainly have enough power, especially together, to tell him to F Off.
To "criminally investigate" is one of the few truthful phrases the Corruptlican use. What we need is for actual American patriots to HONESTLY INVESTIGATE the Corruptlicans and their coup.
