Instead, it’s likely that the Obama Foundation had illegally stored classified Presidential records in its private facility in Hoffman Estates,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Here’s exactly what Disney changed.🧵👇

➡️ Its DEI website called “Reimagine Tomorrow”
➡️ Incorporating DEI into executives’ compensation

Disney has shut down its DEI “Reimagine Tomorrow” website, cited by AFL over 30 times in our letters.

Disney also appears to have abandoned other discriminatory “[e]mployee development programs and fellowships for underrepresented talent.”
