Bottom headline:  NBC News, 1/31/2025


Ken Dilanian, Alexandra Marquez, Claretta Bellamy and Dan De Luce of NBC News write:
This week, the Defense Intelligence Agency ordered a pause of all activities and events related to Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Black History Month, Juneteenth, LGBTQ Pride Month, Holocaust Remembrance Day and other "special observances" to comply with President Donald Trump's executive order, according to a memo obtained by NBC News. 
The memo listed 11 observances that are now banned. It also said that all affinity groups and "employee networking groups" are immediately on pause.   
The directive comes as the Trump administration has made it a top priority to go after any programs perceived to be related to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in the federal government.

First Felon Donald Trump's DEI dog whistle: Pissed-off Black leaders get it in Florida

 
Book cover:  As seen on Facebook
Headline:  Miami Herald, 2/1/2025
As Black History Month begins, the onslaught of reversals to hard-won gains has some Black leaders in South Florida frustrated. Some consider that DEI has become a scapegoat and a way to insinuate that Black and brown people were given jobs based solely on their race, usurping a more qualified white person. Trump’s executive actions signal he is ready to dismantle civil rights policies put in place to ensure that workplaces were more reflective of the country’s diverse population. 
“There’s no need to sugarcoat it: DEI is the new n-word, and they’re using it to discredit the qualifications of people who are more qualified than individuals who have no qualifications at all,” Florida State Senator Shevrin Jones told the Miami Herald.  [emphasis added]
