Today, D.E.I. is in the crosshairs. Its elasticity has made it vulnerable to a wide-ranging blame game. D.E.I. can be many things, from efforts to increase the diversity of a workplace through hiring initiatives to the creation of affinity groups that bring underrepresented workers together. It may also include workplace trainings on topics such as racism, gender discrimination, and sexual harassment. Undoubtedly, there has been ham-fisted D.E.I. programming that is intrusive or even alienating, making workers feel that they are being told what to think or how to feel. But, for the most part, it is a relatively benign practice meant to increase diversity, while also sending a message that workplaces should be fair and open to everyone.

It was also announced on Tuesday that Donald Trump would be attending the Super Bowl, which will take place tonight, in New Orleans. The league has denied that the timing of the decision to change the slogan had anything to do with Trump’s visit. Surely it is a coincidence and has nothing to do with, say, Elon Musk demanding a retraction of all woke football fields.

Alabama’s junior senator is jetting off to the Super Bowl with Trump while UAB and thousands of Alabama jobs are on the chopping block due to NIH cuts. Maybe instead of partying with billionaires, she could fight for the people she was elected to represent? Just a thought. #ALPolitics
