Summary

Boy Scouts of America is changing its name to be more “inclusive,” the governor of Maine signs an executive order creating affirmative action for women in the construction industry, and New York announces a $2.3B tax-funded grant to non-white or women-owned businesses to renovate JFK. Plus Bumble changes its foundational feature, an Asian TikToker catches heat for ‘blackface,’ and a bill to require U.S. citizenship for voting is introduced in Congress.
