Ah, so that's where the request to French companies came from:
US embassies to contractors worldwide: Cancel any DEI programs or risk going unpaid | CNN Business edition.cnn.com/2025/04/01/busā¦
This is going to be "interesting":
The embassy letters have already triggered public responses in Europe.The Belgian government said in a statement that it was investigating āthe legal consequencesā for the companies that had received the letters.
āThe question is not only a matter of principle but also of legal relevance: The US Embassy must comply with Belgian law in its actions. If contracts are terminated merely because a company is committed to diversity and inclusion, this could constitute a violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations,ā the statement said.
We analyzed racial justice statements from the 500 largest US companies and found that DEI officials really did have an influence

U.S. Department of Defense restores Jackie Robinson story on website, admits it was taken down in DEI purge
There was online backlash this week after a story highlighting Robinson's time in the military was taken downCBSSports.com
More #history removed from #US Govt websites
This time, the famous #NavajoCodeTalkers
The #Dine created a code from their language #DineBizaad. Throughout the Pacific Theatre of #WWII they were crucial for communications: #ImperialJapan had no way to understand what they were saying
And now the #bigotry in charge has blotted their contributions
Their webpages are now 404, and the URL renamed with "#DEI"
This stupidity and hate will not end. And will turn worse

#Military to Remove 'Enola #Gay' #Photos for Violating #DEI Rules

The removal effort has sparked confusion, as some images appear to have been marked for deletion because their filenames contain the word "gay," including those of service members with that last name and the #EnolaGay, the #Boeing B-29 aircraft that dropped the first atomic bomb in combat during World #War II.

Amy Coney Barrett is now a "DEI hire" because she do not endorse the position of the Trump's administration to cut off #USAID, which was approved by previous Congress.
If you don't remember, Amy Coney was appointed by the previous Trump administration.
It is plainly hilarious to see how #MAGA decide to categorize any and all whom they hates to be a "DEI hire".
