Forbes: Judge Blocks Parts Of Trump’s Executive Orders Targeting DEI
A federal judge has blocked parts of former President Trump's executive orders aimed at dismantling diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, citing vagueness and potential infringement on free speech. The judge stated that the orders lack clarity on key terms and create uncertainty for federal employees and grant recipients.
The ruling follows lawsuits from civil rights groups arguing that Trump's actions overstep presidential authority and discriminate against marginalized groups.

Michel Agier's book "Racisme et Culture" explores the persistence of racism in globalized societies, despite scientific evidence disproving biological races. He argues that racism is a social construct tied to historical domination, perpetuated by political elites who use racially charged language to define national identity.
Agier criticizes politicians for fostering a racist mindset, linking French identity to whiteness and excluding immigrants from the national narrative. He emphasizes the need for a new understanding of coexistence in a diverse world, rather than relying on outdated notions of otherness.

The Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is targeting the Smithsonian Institution, which received $1.09 billion in taxpayer funding for 2024. Critics argue that the institution is engaging in radical activism, promoting a narrative of systemic racism through initiatives like "The Bias Inside Us" tour, funded by taxpayer dollars.
This program aims to raise awareness of implicit bias, partnering with organizations like Harvard and the Southern Poverty Law Center. Opponents contend that such initiatives reflect a troubling trend of using public funds for what they see as ideological indoctrination, rather than educational purposes.

Human Events: Apple terminates data protection for UK users following government demands
Apple will discontinue its advanced security encryption for cloud data in the UK, following government demands for user data access. New users won't have access to Advanced Data Protection (ADP), and existing users will have to disable it, compromising data privacy.
This decision has drawn criticism from cybersecurity experts and US lawmakers, who argue it undermines online security and poses a threat to national security. The UK government's insistence on access under the Investigatory Powers Act has been described as naive and harmful to citizens' privacy.
