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 womenwhotech.org/data-and-re…

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).

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

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.

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?

How Big Tech Failed DEI. My latest op-ed over on @Forbes #tech #startups #DEI forbes.com/sites/allysonkapi…

How Big Tech Failed DEI

Big Tech has fundamentally misunderstood the problems they were trying to solve with DEI, creating more oppression, when more support and collaboration was needed most.

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.

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.

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? 🧵

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."

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." yesmagazine.org/social-justi…

What Black Disabled Women Want

The basic human rights of proper health care and opportunities through work should be available to everyone.
