White Employee’s Hostile Work Environment Claim Arising From City’s Race-Based DEI Programming Is Revived

Diemert v. City of Seattle , 2026 WL 2903699 (9th Cir. 2026) Joshua Diemert, a white man who worked in the City of Seattle’s Human Services Department, challenged the City’s Race and Social Justice Initiative, which required employees to participate in racial justice trainings and events, some of which were limited to employees of particular races; the Initiative also sponsored racially-aligned affinity groups or caucuses. Diemert alleged that the Initiative, together with a series of offensive remarks from coworkers and supervisors, created a racially hostile work environment. After Diemert resigned, he sued the City for violation of the Equal Protection Clause, hostile work environment, constructive discharge, disparate treatment, and retaliation under Title VII and the Washington Law Against Discrimination. The district court granted summary judgment to the City on all claims. The Ninth Circuit reversed as to the hostile work environment claims, holding that the workplace incidents at issue were “sufficiently numerous, frequent, and severe” to create a triable issue of fact. However, the Court affirmed summary judgment on the constructive discharge, disparate treatment, and retaliation claims, and it affirmed dismissal of the equal protection claim on the ground that Diemert lacked Article III standing because he failed to show

Seattle council upholds mayor’s veto on homeless RV permitting

(The Center Square) - The Seattle City Council rejected a vote on Thursday to override a mayoral veto of an RV permitting system for homeless individuals that the dais had passed just a few weeks earlier. Councilmember Rob Saka joined Councilmembers Alexis Mercedes Rinck, Eddie Lin and Dionne Foster in opposing the override after voting for the bill last month. Mayor Katie Wilson vetoed Councilmember Dan Strauss’ program last week with Saka’s support despite his criticism of her proposed budget cuts. When asked Tuesday why they were holding the vote, Rinck said the council believed it must act on a veto within 30 days under the city charter, regardless of the outcome. Councilmember Bob Kettle, the public safety chair, argued Thursday that they must address the impact of RVs on the community. “Voting to sustain the veto is voting for the status quo; it's voting to plan for a plan, and a vote to delay taking action,” Strauss said before the override failed to meet the required six-vote threshold. The bill Wilson vetoed was just one of six that made up Strauss’ Vehicle Resident Assistance Program. Wilson signed the other parts of VRAP, but the one she rejected included most

American socialists are having their best year since 1912. In last week's midterms, six socialists were elected to Congress, and three were elected mayor, which means New York, L.A., Washington, D.C., Seattle, Ann Arbor and Providence are now led by democratic socialists. But socialism means different things to different people. Terry Gross talks with Pulitzer Prize-winning Harvard historian and New Yorker staff writer Jill Lepore about these victories and the history of American socialism.
