Today I sent an email to my nonprofit clients reminding them to start getting their program accomplishments narratives ready for efiling their 990s.

I also told them if at all possible to revise their mission & program descriptions to avoid using any of the words this administration doesn't like.

I presume the efiles will be scanned for the "offensive" keywords, same as other docs from other agencies. And many nonprofits will have their status revoked.

AOC responded on X. “I represent LaGuardia Airport as well as workers for JFK. Trump gutted the Aviation Safety committee last week,” she wrote. “Air traffic controllers—already understaffed—got Trump’s ‘buyout’ this week with a 1 week ultimatum to decide. It’s not DEI—it’s him. And Elon too.” https://newrepublic.com/post/190969/aoc-trump-lies-dc-plane-crash

Analysis: "The Ultra-Christian Tech Bros Have Been Mingling at Mar-a-Lago"

Their's is a militant version of Christianity:

"One of our Lord’s first commandments was to subdue the earth & tend to it!

"He desires that mankind control the weather for the sake of building the kingdom of God on earth.

"Dams modify rivers, Jesus was a carpenter who modified forests (cut trees) to build houses.

"We aim to serve God.”
