Now PayPal is being sued by a woman of color for discrimination. The fact that this ended with PayPal being sued by a woman of color was the most predictable outcome because #BigTech in general has fundamentally misunderstood the problems they were seeking to address with #DEI.
it’s been a chief talking point on the political right for a while now. With #Trump returning to office and #tech CEOs writing seven-figure checks for the inauguration taking place today, #DEI is on the chopping block.
In the 2025 season arc, it's no surprise that corporate DEI programs were at the top of the call sheet. It's been a pet peeve for many CEOs like Mark Zuckerberg who blamed Sheryl Sandberg for pressuring Meta to implement DEI programs. How on brand to blame a woman! #DEI#tech

Gutted to learn that @Tinu passed away. She deserved so much better. Our #healthcare system failed her. You can read Tinu's writing here. "To be a Black #disabled#woman in America is to be unwillingly invisible in your greatest time of need." https://t.co/mQ0Hsn3IWO

The future of therapy is NOT an AI therapist. The world needs more one on one human interactions not robots counseling people through crisis. Some days I really despise the #VC world as they will do anything to try and make an extra buck and I say that as VC myself.
Here's a list of the top 10 public companies who made #political donations. 9 out of 10 donated more to #GOP candidates.
Do these companies paid family leave, public allyship to support women and BIPOC employees, etc. match their values and support for the GOP?🤔#politics
Have you seen all the cat & dog photos of @VP & @GovTimWalz? And the baby pig photo (OMG). We need a cat and dog zoom call ASAP where all fur baby parents jump on a zoom with their pets to support Harris and Walz. We need to get @SnoopDogg involved.
