In early June, the Washington Post published a follow-up to earlier stories on a Trump administration plan to remove thousands of photographs from Defense Department websites because of “DEI-related content.” Illustrated with more than a dozen samples of the targeted photos (which the Post‘s reporters were able to find reproduced on non-government websites), the Post‘s new story offered more details on the images marked for deletion because they were deemed to touch on diversity, equity, and inclusion issues — overwhelmingly depicting subjects identified as “gay, transgender, women, Hispanic, and Black.” The headline over the story didn’t mince words: “Here are the people Trump doesn’t want to exist.” Identified from a database obtained by the Associated Press, the targeted subjects included...

The object of our analysis is, not to provide a machine, or method of blind manipulation, which will furnish an infallible answer, but to provide ourselves with an organized and orderly method of thinking out particular problems; and, after we have reached a provisional conclusion by isolating the complicating factors one by one, we then […]
. When criticism of Israeli policy is reflexively labeled as antisemitic, it stifles legitimate discourse and makes meaningful accountability nearly impossible. Equating anti-Zionism with antisemitism is not only intellectually dishonest — it also risks trivializing the seriousness of actual antisemitism, a dangerous and persistent form of hatred that must be addressed with unwavering clarity and […]
Julia Giese and Jacqueline Koay We live in an era of rapid change, complexity and uncertainty. Over recent years, severe global shocks have been frequent, with profound implications for our economy and financial system.
