Even before Trump charged federal agencies with investigating "illegal DEI," companies began their retreat— dropping diversity promises, abandoning words like "equity." My @nytimes.com teammates and I dug through 25,000 documents to show this in real time www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

How Companies Like J&J, Live Nation and Uber Are Retreating From DEI

Anti-discrimination laws that used to hold companies accountable for bias against minority workers are now being used to fight against DEI. I wrote about this "brave new world" of employment law, where companies are asking: What's "illegal DEI"? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/b...

After Trump’s DEI Order, Companies Navigate a Legal Minefield

Companies navigate a legal minefield as President Trump wages war on diversity programs, but they still have to guard against complaints of bias.

I’ve driven from Hollywood to Eagle Rock to Mar Vista to Brentwood to Atwater to Runyon to Studio City for emergency stuff and reporting and just got home for the day. All I can say is love this city.

two out of the three Nobel-Prize-winning economists talked to @elliswonk.bsky.social + Jeff Guo @planetmoney.bsky.social about why some countries are rich and others are poor, why it took so long for economics to recognize the power of institutions, and also wtf an "institution" is anyway:

A Nobel prize for explaining why there's global inequality : Planet Money

Why do some nations fail and others succeed?In the late 1990s and early 2000s, three economists formed a partnership that would revolutionize how economists think about global inequality. Their work centered on a powerful — and almost radically obvious — idea: that the economic fate of nations is determined by how societies organize themselves. In other words, the economists shined a spotlight on the power of institutions, the systems, rules, and structures that shape society.We spoke with two of the Nobel-winning economists about their research on why some countries are rich and others are poor, why it took so long for economics to recognize the power of institutions, and what the heck those even are.This episode was hosted by Jeff Guo and Greg Rosalsky. It was produced by Willa Rubin with help from James Sneed. It was edited by Martina Castro and fact-checked by Sierra Juarez. Engineering by Gilly Moon with help from James Willetts.

A gutting detail from this @jonathanblitzer.bsky.social interview: After the Postville Raid, a massive ICE operation in 2008, a study found Latino babies born nearby were markedly underweight. Their mothers were so gripped by fear that it caused prenatal harm. "The consequences of this are bodily."

How do you decide where to donate money? Our reporter, Emma Goldberg, wrote an essay about how the tech industry's obsession with optimization has filtered into so many parts of our culture, including charity. Here's what some readers shared. nyti.ms/4g2IBla

A quote attributed to a reader in the U.S. named Maeve that says: "I live around the poverty level so have little money to give to charity. I am very thoughtful of how I spend the money I do have. I do not want to add harm to the world by the way I spend money thereby necessitating charity. I try to 'first do no harm.'"
