It is distressing to see DEI policies attacked, diminished, removed. People have fought so hard,and we had made progress.

As a woman who knows how I might be effected. I know disabled people. What deterents might happen.
I worry about what's the next problem wise over all regarding this for POC, especially Black people on the basic principle of (yet to be achieved) Equality, and the personal fact of past, and current Black friends. Wha latest bad stuff could happen in general, and to them particular.

The "permissions" of Trump's bigotry giving rise to more mayhem from those we thought curtailed is scary, hideous, with potential dangers lurking.
