US wireless carrier AT&T said in a letter to the US telecoms regulator that it had committed to ending diversity, equity and inclusion programs, a move that comes as it seeks approval from the Trump administration to buy wireless spectrum assets.

    So att wants only white straight cis people. Pretty fucking disgusting if you ask me. Especially considering they prey on all of us equally.

    Damn, now I need to cancel. Not like it would take much, but now I need to deal with it.

    Edit: Fuck. They’re all shitty. Best option is Mint (except now it’s apparently owned by T-mobile), which isn’t an option if you leave the country at all.

      T Mobile is the company that hired Corey Lewandowski as a consultant during their merge with Sprint. T-Mobile is the service provider for “Trump Mobile” and they killed their DEI programs more than a year ago. If anything, AT&T is the last of the big carriers to do this.

      What makes you say that? We have Mint and leave the country all the time. The Minternational Pass option is one of the main reasons we signed on with Mint.

    I mean, AT&T owns OANN and has always been against anything equality or progressive related.
