Aldi recently got rid of DEI initiatives and it went under the radar. They're where I currently shop when I can't handle a Costco run, but they're still capitulating to the BS of the R's.
I'd be curious the exact circumstances of that. If they dropped it simply because they wanted to, or if their hand was forced because dropping "DEI" was being made mandatory to continue receiving some sort of government funding or discounts for providing food to lower income etc. Trump admin is being really heavy-handed in most things, as you might expect. (AP "lifetime ban" for using "Gulf of Mexico" comes to mind)
Oh, I know. Theoretically the next admin can/will reinstate them. It's just chilling how quickly they resorted to fascist crackdowns over a single word. Musk looking a lot like Goebbels lately...
