DOGE’s list of “problematic" keywords include: Disadvantaged, Marginalized, Underserved, Environmental Justice, Climate, Equity, Equitable, Inclusion, Diversity, and Culture.
It's sad how the "big tech" fear involves installing an administration that emulates the arbitrary nature of big tech, in spades.
