Roses are happiness, Violets pure joy. trump had his ass owned by a four-year-old boy.

I know it’s so fucked up but this little guy almost reminds me of Hitler lol

One word comes to mind: Damian.

Unbelievably, I just found out that one of his sons *is* actually named Damian. Can't make this up!

He's being raised to be an entitled mean-spirited little Nazi, that's why he reminds you of Hitler. And right now he's too young to know he's supposed to fling the poo at people who *aren't white males. Too busy repeating what his horrible father says at home.

Outsmarting MaGAT authoritarianism is all the rage these days. Way to go University of Colorado! 👏🏼💙🦋💙👏🏼

Variety, Fairness, and Acceptance.

I was just thinking target should do this

Getting rid of DEI to "comply" with the tyrants mandates without actually getting rid of it. Very clever

Well remember who is educated & then just ignorant! 💯Smh

They changed a word, they didn't fire anyone

Yay my Alma mater!

Our company shirt for this year!

💪

One of the professors at my college said they’ve done the same thing as well. It’s probably a reflex reaction universities are all sharing right now

Love that!

The feds can't do that due to the rat line.

More like the Office of Conformity!

With an Appeasement Director?

Skipped right past “appeasement”

Perfect!

Smart people know BIG words. 😉

I have actually been thinking this since they started attacking dei They are just words All institutions have to do is change some language and keep doing the work they are committed to What is T gonna do? Make them fire bipoc ppl and expel students?

And that's how it's done!

Really? who posted that about University of Colorado? #factsmatter @rachelbitecofer.bsky.social www.colorado.edu/geologicalsc...

Yay! Boulder kept the DEI dept. That’s great. It’s also great that CU created www.cu.edu/collaboration

Thanks for posting their collaboration office(s)!

I guess the geologist really understand history.

Clever

here is a parody of what I think they are up to trilliondollardreadful.com/2025/02/15/m...

Way to go CU!

Yaaaaaaaaasssssss!!! A rose by another name... www.cu.edu/collaboration

We need a date and time to meet on the White House steps and effectuate a peaceful power of transfer back to we the people

Righteous batty fang!

But, omg! They used the word diverse.

Here's the site too www.cu.edu/collaboration

Who's the pooch??

Excellent! I read their site- verbiage supports the DEI philosophy.

Colorado's a great place

It would be, if we could get rid of the damn immigrants (from Texas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Missoura, and the rest of the shithole states).

Yeah it is definitely over run. Don't forget the people from Arizona and California. They move here and then want to change everything about the place. It's been going on for 20 years

It’s been going on for more than 40 years. I lived in Durango starting in the early part of the 80s and the Californians flocking in and changing the housing situation along with the rest of it was well underway.

I really noticed it in the '90s but the last 15 years in Denver metro area has been crazy. Remember when all those Californians moved up to Boulder and changed the whole place. I don't even go to Boulder anymore because those people suck

Oh, at least 30. I remember the "No Vacancy" stickers back in the mid-90s. Californians contributed to the obscene price increases and congestion, no doubt, but if they vote blue and are decent people, they're better than the alternative in my opinion.

And bobo

Oh, don't remind me. That creature is my rep. 😞

So so sorry!

Sometimes a simple name change makes all the difference. Spiritual Love, y’all.

Sir, it was a treat to attend several presentations you did on the Comic-Con cruise.

Branding!

Our campus DEI office is called the Office of Belonging.

That's so lovely, am genuinely in tears reading that

How about the "Office of Love"?

Truth 👇🏼

Bravo!!!

Great passive resistance. We need to fight without giving them an excuse to call for martial law. We can take our country back that way.

Love it 😍

Meanwhile at Hillsdale College in Michigan, they're opening up an Office of Appeasement. Curious.

BravO!!

The Problems is NOT DEI, it is DJT! Any time they say they are against DEI, we should FORCE them to say the words outloud. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. It is too easy to be against three letters, like DJT.

I’ll bet half of them don’t know what DEI stands for.

I disagree. Many of them see Diversity, Equity and Inclusion as "taking the things white men deserve away from us"

Exactly my point, they don’t know what is stands for. But yes I agree in their minds that what they think it is.

White men don't deserve a gd thing.

Touche

Absolutely!

I think that this is what we are seeing everywhere, Good for them!!

That is some serious Goebbels Scheiße.

True. They’ll never know what this is. It isn’t called the Office of Collusion!

Takei was the best one. Trump told Walmart to bury DEI. Fuckers did. tNow it's OUR TURN. February 28...Economic Blackout www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

Great that’s awesome. Now we need to establish a lot more offices of collaboration!

These little acts of defiance inspire others 💖

Love being a Coloradan!

Well done.!!!!!!

Capitulation. For a few dollars some institutions will sell their soul.

I suggest you go look at the site. The literal only change is the NAME of the office. Here are the screen grabs, decide for yourself

Don’t know about you, but I love the idea of keeping the substance and changing the name only just to rub their faces in it and make them try to ban the concept of diversity.

We can win. Pass it on: 1. Rally around Rep Green’s articles of impeachment. 2. Present the articles publicly on the Capitol steps March 14. 3. Organize a million+ to witness the presentation. 4. Shutdown the Fed Gov & activate general strike simultaneously on March 14. #NQNQ247

The timing is too slow. I know I sound like an alarmist, but I’m sick of the criminal efforts of MUMP. Musk isn’t making anything efficient. And Trump’s making it easy for him to avoid the law. He’s wiping out anything that relates to DEI…LBGT+, women, etc. It is alarming.

Micro actions snowball.

Thank you!

Just rebrand and carry on already.

Seems like some employers are going to do malicious compliance and rename their “DEI” policies ❤️ Mine has already started using the word “culture” by “DEI.”

Switch the letters around IDE EDI EID (probably shouldn't use IED as that is used by something else)

They should all do this! Just change the name lol

We're done with DEI. From now on it's IED. That will get their attention.

bsky.app/profile/whut...

I saw another post where a woman’s son who owns a business posted a Don’t Be An Asshole department or something yo that effect.

The company I work for, one of our hiring criteria and core values is NAA "Not an asshole"

Love this, pretty easy to check who the assholes are.

My philosophy of life is Don't Be An Asshole.

That’s awesome 👏

Trump wants to transform DEI into IED.

If universities, charities , and other organizations would just change the names of the programs , you can accomplish similar results ! ‘Uniform improvements’ in education/hiring/training .

Maybe "Office of Sentient Beings?"

I'm surprised collaboration isn't a banned word

Does that mean they’re… collaborators?

That’s awesome, my wife and I are moving our family to Colorado in a couple of years, we have a baby girl that will be going to school there, I’m glad it’ll be in a place she’ll be protected and appreciated.

Medical research is a huge part of Colorado’s economy www.denver7.com/news/local-n...

My late wife, a proud CU alum, would approve.

I have this idea for a movie. It's a rom-com starring Michael Vick and Christie Noem. I was gonna call it All Dogs Go to Heaven.

Here's the poster

Good!

The MAGA cretins think they are taking us back to the 1950s. Their simplistic thinking is unnerving.

I’m not sure collaboration is the best word choice to use when a neo Nazi is running our government.

True. But hiding in plain sight is not a bad thing.

I can see that it cuts both eays.

Right?

I don't see it.

They probably would have gotten MAGA endorsement if they'd just reversed the DEI acronym...

#resist #fascism #christofascism

Vichy / Quisling Universities.

I love this state so much. We’ve got a pretty good governor and solid leadership. (Other than Lauren Boebert🤮🤮) #Amexit #letsjoincanada #colorado

we call ours Discover Expose Inspire ✌🏼

Speaking of collaboration - that's what posting on X is. #BoycottX

Thank you, CU. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I will forever love you.

Should split it into 3 different departments, one each for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion so we can see which one the administration hates the most and watch them have to justify their definition of why it’s wrong.

And thusly they were not collaborators.

Did no one tell them what "collaboration" meant in the Vichy regime? This is why history is important.

What a shame!! Collaboration is not the same as equity!! They capitulated to the Nazi authoritarian Donald Trump!

Synonyms work just as well.

As Shakespeare once said "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" 😉 It's policies and actions not nomenclature that matters!

LOVE it!

👍❤️😘👍

Especially brave in MagaRado

My Alma mater💕💕

Resist, this must be done. Ethics Matter!

Now this is brilliant 😁

Nice one

THAT'S the SPIRIT.

We are truly back in 1933. "The leopard won't eat my face if I collaborate with it."

I think they're trying to get around the DEI ban by naming the department something that sounds innocuous to the idiots who only read titles. Could be wrong though.

I also read it as "if we have to comply with your illegal demands until they're shot down in court, we'll at least do it with a word choice that makes it clear we think you're a bunch of fascists." Not quite malicious compliance, but in that direction.

Correct. If you look at the actual website linked somewhere in the thread it still has the university's land acknowledgement.

You are correct. CU Boulder receives millions in federal funding for research across a wide array of disciplines. It is unfortunate that the admin of the Univ. had to make this change but the hope is to skirt around the DEI bans while still supporting all people.

Verbal camouflage is the way to go.

Why not post “we’re a spineless university, are you sure you want a degree from us?”

Proud of my alma mater!

Well played, CU, well played. 👏👏

And that's why an education is so cool! Critical thinking in action.

And thank you for letting us know so we can go after the newly named old office.

Good! More than one way to skin lumps of crap like Felon tRump and his Nazi partner Leon the Muck!

💙

That’s it! Take it down, rename it, and put it back. Boom!

Only a matter of time until right wingers bastardize the word belonging, like they did to dei, crt, civil rights, etc

Don’t forget they call empathy a sin. If it wasn’t already clear that these bastards were demons it should be now…

Ironic as altruism (not money, not power) is the key to happiness.

If this is what it takes👏🏻

Sko Buffs!

That's CHECK! Your move 🍊 💩

Perfect!

Collaboration is WOKE! The only thing Amurica can accept is authority and subjugation.

Well go back to sleep!!!

😍😍😍

Love it!

Good trouble 😈

Meanwhile in Ohio state government... SB1 has moved to the house... despite over 800 people there speaking against it. And THE has removed the Vice provost of our office of inclusive excellence. working groups looking into how to continue. Smh anti-education is the plan.

“Collaboration” with whom though?

Waiting for some org to open an Office of IDIC

"Diversity "Equity" "Inclusion" Now, I ask you.....what are the opposites?

Real kudos need to go to Sasha Breger Bush, Faculty Assembly Chair at University of Colorado Denver. This is tricky to find, but it is on the UC Denver website www.ucdenver.edu/docs/librari...

This is awesome!!

I like that!

“Collaboration,” “Belonging,” these are the terms the terms we are all using now.

All because the 🍊🤡 is so intimidated by the word diversity

Well, at least it's appropriately named. History shows that things don't tend to end well for collaborators though.

In red states they’re just shuttering the offices and firing everyone who can be placed under the DEI/scapegoat/target umbrella

Others will start doing this and soon "Collaboration" will be made illegal by Trump admin.

Not fair. MAGAts can't spell DEI, much less collaboration.

😂👍

Speaking of collaboration. Here's my attempt to build a Pattern Language of best practices. Comments welcome. petersironwood.com/2018/06/29/p...

THIS!! So proud of my college!

i would have rather they put out a press release saying THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION. SO SHUT THE FUCK UP

Yea but if they write it right, they don't risk federal funding

This!

Discrimination ok with you?

DEI isn’t discrimination, it’s what prevents discrimination. Please remove your head from you ass.

It is definitely discrimination. The courts agree. Ask the Asians. Ask the Jews. Wake up!

It’s not. But live in your ignorance.

It is. See the court decisions that you can’t discriminate against anyone…

Except everyone who’s isn’t a straight white male, right?

The courts held that you can’t discriminate against straight white makes, either. Dei depts are closing everywhere.

Your reading comprehension is showing.

Explain it to us, then.

fuck you're dumb

Brilliant comment. The courts held that dei is discriminatory, which is illegal. But you can keep kidding yourself.

🙄🤣🤡

They’ll lose federal funds (fed loans & grants that students use to pay tuition) if they don’t comply so they have to change the wording

Coloradan here. You are spot on.

Otherwise known as The Office of Stop! We won’t Collaborate and Listen! Well played!

📌

Wonderfully done.

This is the way

😉

Germans called one of those government demands The Enabling Law in 1933.🤔

Who are they collaborating WITH?

Well done, Colorado, but I fear they'll figure it out.

No. Courage would dictate not bowing down to a criminal regime. Folks, start studying Ghandi’s methods again. Prepare to march for salt. Stock your pantry. Start this week.

Now Dems need to actively watch for, and call out, woke-washed nonprofits and state commissions. Saying that word “collaborate” is different from meaningful collaboration.

Daughter a Buff Also working at CU Boulder Go Colorado go

Thinking out side the box?

💙 Great alternative!

Except for Colorado Mesa University, they proudly proclaimed they got rid of DEI years ago. And no they don’t just call it something else. I am aware of a few profs that were forced out. www.kjct8.com/2025/02/11/c...

Well done! One step further for a nonviolent civil disobedience. Refuse ANY KIND of compromises that can harm you, your family, friends and neighbours anywhere. Repeat this and, Respond calmly yet firmly to any abuse of power and injustice. #Real_is_other

Hope they're contacting their collegiate peers and offering the same advice.

Malicious compliance lol I love it

"Tis a privilege to live in Colorado" ~ Frederick G. Bonfils www.cu.edu/collaboration

The fact that we are living in a nation that even needs to use other words for diversity, still shocks me…

True story- I work at a school and get calls from parents wanting to know what we teach about sex and gender. I tell them we teach human dignity, kindness and that differences are not to be feared. They always say “oh those are our values too” but they never apply.

Nice!

🩷🩷🩷

The employees will have 10 days to tattle or face adverse consequences. That is the email we got from Musk and Putin at the federal government if anyone tries to guise dei under something else. How dumb is America that these bastards got in office to perform a coup?! And his loyalists double down!

Bravo CU! And stay away from acronyms - too easy to weaponize.

OMG I was just thinking about that today!!! I totally agree.

Classic. Hostages, but not willing ones.

As a CU retiree, you have no idea the level of butt licking that goes on.

Time to rebrand.

Collaboration with whom? Let us remember that those who helped the Nazis were called collaborators...

I like it … watch MAGAs going to say “No Collaboration! Collaborating w non who’re people is racist!

It’s like something out of Harry Potter Deathly Hallows.

It reminds me of Dolores Umbridge with all of her orders tacked on the wall. We need to find some Fred and George energy right now.

I like this Fred and George idea.

Luigi.

We go high in Colorado!

Fellow Coloradoan!

Slick...I like it

1984...

Hmmm

Love, love, love this! ⭐💡👍🫶 ♥️🤍💙🇺🇲

Love this

Rebranding. Many companies are just rebranding it.

www.cu.edu/collaboration

Exactly. Rebrand.

Here it is, George! www.cu.edu/collaboration

Thanks for doing the groundwork. 👏🏽

Wow

Look at that. Way to pivot.

Might as well call it "Ministry of Truth"

Clever

Idiots

Very clever disobedience. Do more.

Also, the CU Board page hasn’t changed and still mentions DEI as a priority! regents.cu.edu/focus/divers...

Well played !!!

The connotation of being a “collaborator” is unfortunate George; How about the Office of Mutual Respect?

That’s part of the subversiveness.

I’ll bow to the local knowledge, if so - thanks.

Very local. I actually work for CU and they’ve been really great with communication and support with everything.

Very local indeed! It’s great that you have such an outstanding support network in your workplace in spite of everything that’s going on - more power to you and all at CU!

yeah, very smart. it's funny but not because they are trying to be humorous.. If they want a war of specific fucking words, then we give it to the. I think this is actually a great development. We have a whole generation who has learned how to communicate through memes. and now we can actually

weaponize that particular mental facility to capture the essence of the word, which is to mean that a LOT of information can be transferred with relatively very little media (picture/words). These are skills that they DO NOT have and will never understand. bravo!

Hell yeah. Go UC!
