Those #health inequities are the legacy of racial #discrimination that was legal from the country's inception until 1965, the type of historical #injustice #DEI policies were designed to correct.

#Trump also rescinded a 1994 EO by fmr Pres Bill #Clinton that directed every #FederalAgency to develop an agency-wide #EnvironmentalJustice strategy to address adverse health or #environmental effects on *minority* & #LowIncome populations.

From the article: "Young people with special educational needs (SEN) experience much higher rates of discrimination and bullying than their peers, leading to worse outcomes in mental wellbeing, life satisfaction, self-esteem and emotional difficulties.

"The findings are from a new report from #BeeWell, a programme co-founded by Anna Freud. The report includes data from over 20,000 young people receiving SEN support or with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) in Greater Manchester, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Portsmouth, and Southampton.

"It found that the rate of discrimination due to a disability is almost three times higher for those receiving SEN support and four times higher for those with an EHCP compared to peers without."

The Trump WH is sabotaging itself with its unbridled hostility toward the #courts. The SC has been doing its best to defuse the looming clash w the admin.

Form of govt we're living in right now: closest analogue is the Mafia -using #extortion to achieve his objectives.

For Trump, law is nothing but politics -apply his tactics for pol battles in the legal realm: attack -never admit error -stoke griev...

From the article: "Over the past five years, Republican lawmakers have turned anti-trans legislation into a full-blown political obsession. What began as a handful of bills targeting sports participation and so-called religious exemptions has metastasized into a sweeping campaign against nearly every facet of transgender life—bathroom access, IDs, medical care, even the legality of one’s identity. In 2020, there were just over 100 bills aimed at LGBTQ+ people. In 2025, that number has ballooned to more than 850, the vast majority singling out transgender Americans. What we are witnessing now is not a legislative trend—it’s a coordinated nationwide crusade."

Tran is now feeling both the “pressure of representing a community in a specific way,” and the struggle of continuing to work through her own internalized misogyny, racism and homophobia. But the actor wants “to live in a world where there is a generation after me that does not have any of that.”

Does the arresting officer ask this question at EACH and EVERY traffic stop? If not, this is #profiling and #racial #discrimination. That's #illegal. This officer should be facing #civil #rights violation charges. Meanwhile, keep the pressure on. Highlight every #detention. Get the #press involved. Shine a #light on these #wrong #arrests.

#Race information disappeared on #OPM site that displays #statistics for public on 2.3M #federalemployees. For decades OPM has provided #Congress federal agencies, #academics w personnel data that helped shape #policies, #funding and #staffing decisions. Without the race information, those groups will not be able to easily track how #Trump’s workforce cuts affect minority race groups, including #Black and #Asian employees, #academics said. #censorship #discrimination #government #maga #politics

From the article: "April 2025 data from digital platform WorkL indicates that while workplace happiness increased slightly for heterosexual workers in 2025, it decreased for LGBTQ+ workers — suggesting a change in the political climate also led to a change in climate for LGBTQ+ workers.

"Similarly, feelings of empowerment for these workers fell from 77% to 71% year over year and pride in their work dropped from 74% to 63%. Job satisfaction for LGBTQ+ workers also dropped from 75% to 64%."
