Updates on that Executive Order

Ok so that post earlier was me reading Trump's EO and sussing out wtf it meant. I heard more info today. Yes, the EO is definitely going after diversity training. (Personal silver lining: good to know that I can take diversity stuff I learned and actually apply it to pick apart federal language, on my own.) Anyway here's a lot more context with a Google News search on the topic, a Vox article with more detail, and an article about how corporations are like "what?" about this.

Anyway, I've also learned that various organizations -- universities, businesses, ACLU, so on -- are challenging this EO. The EO is basically unconstitutional and overreaching, apparently. So hearing about this response is all good... but cripes, it's taking up people's time and energy, when we're in a pandemic and there's a lot else to deal with! Aaargh.

Breonna Taylor's trial outcome, and now this EO, are hitting hard on PoC and especially Black community this week. People are reeling.
