Most white employees in the US see themselves as allies to women of color. Less than half of white employees are educating themselves about the experiences of women of color or consistently giving credit to women of color for their work and ideas. mckinsey.com/featured-insig…
Women’s representation has increased across the pipeline since 2016. However, women—especially women of color—remain significantly underrepresented in leadership
Women of color lose ground at every step. Representation of women of color falls off relative to white men, white women, and men of color at every step in the corporate pipeline, leaving them severely underrepresented at the top
Women continue to face a broken rung at the 1st step up to manager: for every 100 men promoted to manager, only 86 women are promoted. As a result, men outnumber women significantly at the manager level, which means that there are far fewer women to promote to higher levels.
Women of color continue to have a worse experience at work. Even after a year of increased focus on DEI and racial equity in corporate America, women of color continue to face significant bias and discrimination at work. Women of color face a wider range of microaggressions.
Allyship from more privileged colleagues can make a big difference in the experiences of women of color: when women of color feel like they have strong allies at work, they are happier in their jobs, less likely to be burned out, & less likely to consider leaving their companies.
Companies still have work to do to create a culture that fully embraces and leverages diversity. HR leaders say that two things are critical to this effort: senior-level sponsorship and high employee engagement. Senior leaders need to fully and publicly support DEI efforts.

Irena Green spent a week in jail over an HOA violation for a brown patch of grass in her yard during a drought. Others weren't fined for similar violations. She was cited for mildew on her mailbox, a dent in her garage & for having a commercial cargo van. atlantablackstar.com/2025/07/17/flo…
Irena Green was jailed for a week, shackled from her hands to her feet to attend court, & the HOA opposed her release in court. They are harassing her & obviously didn't want the issues. Creek View HOA has 67 pages of covenants, conditions & restrictions. abcactionnews.com/news/local-new…
Shonia Cruz Munoz, who lives in the same neighborhood, says she was served with a notice about her home’s paint job. She says she has painted her home three times since 2015.
This feels like racial harassment. abcactionnews.com/news/local-new…
A previously unreported network of hundreds of accounts on X is using artificial intelligence to automatically reply to conservatives with positive messages about people in the Trump administration, researchers say. nbcnews.com/tech/internet/…
But with the MAGA movement split over the administration’s handling of files involving deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the accounts’ messaging has broken, offering contradictory statements on the issue and revealing the LLM-fueled nature of the accounts.
The network, tracked for NBC News by both the social media analytics company Alethea and researchers at Clemson University, consists of more than 400 identified bot accounts, though the number could be far larger, the researchers say.
Trump eliminated work exemptions for veterans, homeless individuals & other groups who qualify for SNAP. Veterans, parents with kids under 18, former foster youth 24 or younger, homeless, seniors aged 60+, & others are exempt from SNAP work requirements. stripes.com/veterans/2025-…
According to the Congressional Budget Office, these new requirements, along with the SNAP funding cuts in the bill, will mean that more than 5 million Americans will lose nutrition benefits. cbpp.org/research/food-…
“The proposed legislation removes protections for veterans, including 100% disabled veterans or veterans deemed unemployable by the VA,” said Amy Palmer, president of Soldiers’ Angels. stripes.com/veterans/2025-…
“I was expecting to see a drastic turnaround for the better for my farm because the Republicans have always been for the American farmer,” said Carlson, a longtime Republican & Trump supporter.
She hoped Trump would revive her farm. Now she worries his policies could bankrupt it
Her farm had been awarded a grant worth $400,000 through the U.S. Department of Agriculture to help pay for the costs associated with hiring seasonal workers from overseas through the H-2A visa program, which farmers have used for years to hire temporary agricultural workers.
Carlson was planning to use her USDA grant money to hire 10 temporary workers from Guatemala to help with this year’s harvest. The grant would help pay to house the required workers on her property and the visa fees and airfare to fly the workers to and from the U.S.
Like I've said, Democrats never had a messaging problem. They have a media problem. 92% of Black women heard the messages and 82% of Black men. Reporters frame everything based on Republican talking points.
Does everyone finally see it now? The goal is making government a business - privatization.
Elon Musk’s mass government cuts could make private companies millions. Defense and tech firms – including Musk’s own – await potential contracts as Doge decimates US agencies.
In 2022, the federal civilian payroll totaled $271 billion. 60% went to employees in the Departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs, & Homeland Security—agencies exempted from deferred resignation. Extending Trump’s tax cuts would cost $400 billion per year brookings.edu/articles/trump…
"In the past twenty years, against a backdrop of crumbling infrastructure and declining trust in institutions, Musk has sought out business opportunities in crucial areas where, after decades of privatization, the state has receded. The government is now reliant on him..."
