One Email Can Still Turn the National Labor Relations Board Off
The NLRB can be certified, or paralyzed, by the removal of a single member. Trump v. Slaughter just settled the constitutional question; the DOJ's brief in Wilcox v. Trump shows what happens next.https://bureaucracy.news/2026/09/24/nlrb-quorum-removal-trump-slaughter-wilcox-independent-agencies/

Different countries approach regulating sex work very differently, with implications. Criminalization goes with increased risks to sex workers' safety and health, while legalization still leaves them fighting a stigma.

As previously reported, the #EEOC even moved to dismiss its own active lawsuits against companies that had been credibly accused of discriminating against #trans & #nonbinary workers. Seawright’s complaint says that the EEOC’s internal non-discrimination & inclusion policy regarding gender identity & sexual orientation, which has existed since at least 2009, was also rescinded by Lucas.
-
“The conditions of my employment have continued to deteriorate & I expect they will become worse as Acting Chair Lucas takes further steps to discriminate against #transgender employees,” his complaint said.
Meanwhile, elsewhere at the agency, #EEOC staff were instructed to stop processing complaints from workers alleging #LBGTQ+ #discrimination.
-
Seawright’s complaint is not only about what he was instructed to do at work, but also about what he was prevented from doing amid the #EEOC’s efforts to “marginalize me & my role.” Among other things, he says he was booted from network systems he needed to do his job & left off meeting invitations about initiatives he was supposed to be leading.
-
The same month, #EEOC staff were instructed that any recognition of #transgender & #nonbinary people needed to be “systematically erased” in both the EEOC’s internal & external materials, Seawright explained in a formal complaint against the agency in March, before his resignation.
“What made it more disturbing,” he wrote, “was my forced involvement in making it happen.”

Before his resignation, the information technology specialist had spent the last 8 years working on projects that enabled the #EEOC to carry out its core mission: preventing & fighting workplace #discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy status, disability, & genetic information….

Under #Trump, Federal #Workplace Anti-Discrimination Agency Engaged in…Workplace #Discrimination
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (#EEOC) was established by the 1964 #CivilRights Act to enforce anti-discrimination laws in workplaces across the country. But under Trump, the federal agency tasked with helping workers who experienced hostile work environments became a hostile work environment itself, acc/to one judge’s recent ruling.

I think I agree with almost every proposal stated in this text:
"With regards to information, the challenge is to design intellectual property laws that restrict the right of private parties with proprietary knowledge to extort the rest of society and stifle innovation in the process. This means shortening the life of patents and increasing the requirements for awarding one. At least in certain critical fields of knowledge production, such as life-saving medicine, a strong case can even be made for scrapping patents altogether in favor of a fixed number of payments to inventors of new drugs and treatments. Financing open-source platforms, coding languages, and hardware is another avenue for democratizing control over information.
Under the umbrella of predistribution, we can also place policies that significantly affect the broader economic environment. Antitrust laws are one example. By aggressively curtailing anticompetitive practices, regulators prevent the dominant firms in any given sector from calcifying their power on the market over sellers and buyers alike.
Another example of a predistributive policy is the much-debated national job guarantee. Such a policy would force the private sector to contract on terms that are at least as desirable as those found outside of it — or face a drying up of applicants.
Now, it is not my intent to offer a full-throated defense of these policies, some of which recommend themselves better than others. My aim is rather to draw attention to the thread that is common to all of them. By recognizing that the market rewards relative scarcity, predistribution acts to shift the power that accrues to asset holders in societies characterized by highly unequal ownership."

#DOJPride, an #LGBTQ employee resource group at the #DOJ, shut down in late Jan, <10 days after #Trump signed an EO seeking to root out all #DEI measures from the federal govt.
“In this time of uncertainty & concern, we have taken the extraordinary measure of ceasing operations of DOJ Pride,” DOJ Pride's board wrote in an email sent to members at the time. “We have made this decision in the interest & for the protection of all members.”

When #Trump was weeks away from inauguration in January, #FBI agents & #DOJ prosecutors were warning one another to be careful about displaying information revealing their own #SexualOrientation or support for #LGBTQRights. After the inauguration, one person said, FBI agents warned colleagues that they heard new pro-Trump appointees installed at the FBI were combing through internal employee files to find lists that identified employees as #LGBTQ.

The agent trainee, who had most recently been assigned to the #FBI Academy in #Quantico, won an Attorney General’s #Award in 2022 in recognition of his work, according to a #DOJ news release.
News of the trainee’s firing spurred some agents in the FBI’s Washington field office to scour their work stations & social media accounts for signs or comments—anything that could be viewed as offensive to #Trump, his top appointees & #MAGA….
