Summary
Federal employees have been directed to report colleagues in diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) roles within 10 days or face unspecified “adverse consequences.”
The directive follows a Trump executive order eliminating DEIA programs in federal agencies, which the administration claims “divided Americans by race.”
Employees were warned about disguised DEIA roles using "coded or imprecise language.”
This screams illegal to me too. Like hey email to this weird government email the names of ‘collaborators’ so we can punish them. Tell us first and you’re good. Hide it and we’re coming after you.
Sounds like Germany 1939 or something.
Don’t name anyone. Or better, name known fascist placeholders.
My favorite part is the US government, with its massive intelligence agencies, is trying to shake down its employees to discover their own org chart.
You’re missing that this is a loyalty test.
It’s not about finding out this info. It’s about finding out who is willing to be the Reek in all the new House Bolton-style fiefdoms. That’s why people only have 10 days to rat out colleagues, they want lists of trustworthy loyalists by the time mid-tier appointees get into the office.
Says a bit about the potency of those intelligence agencies, maybe? Or the vigor with which these policies will be pursued - or lack thereof. I dunno.
Good ol “communist” tactics. Snitch on your neighbours, snitch on your family. Loyalty to the party.
A certain expression comes to mind: “They hate us cuz they ain’t us”.
Starting to make sense nowadays…
They hate you because you’re poor
Well, actually, the Nazis called it “Machtergreifung” and this is exactly the playbook Trump follows.
Bro, they don’t even know who they are angry with. Isn’t the whole idea that DEI hires underperform.
That’s just to cover up their obvious racism. If you interrogate them the right way, they eventually spit it out, although in a less coded way.
apparently there some person named donald trump, whose trying to use DEI policies to turn me into a woman. we should probably report him
Just use it to sign up for as many shit spam newsletters as possible. Maybe considering disabling that adblocker (or maybe spin up a vm) and enter it into all the ad popups you can find.
In unrelated news: if you want to test how good a spamfilter you have set up for your self, you can test it with https://mailbait.info/
Did you see something? No you didn’t.
Just tell them you’re colorblind
Joke’s on the republican’s because I’m a gay man and use the men’s room all the time. I know what republican men do in there.
He just had a wide stance!
Heh heh heh. Awww yeah. Memories.
Beautiful … let’s let everyone fight endlessly and be angry, afraid, anxious and distracted by everything and anything but the things that actually matter to people.
By the time four years rolls around, the US will be an organizational mess and completely chaotic as the climate crisis takes over everything and everyone.
I mean, it kind of already is an organizational mess that’s completely chaotic.
Hmm… “My department is fortunate that we didn’t need to make any DEI hires” Seems an easy enough response when questioned.
Is this about DEI hires or workers whose jobs are to ensure their hiring practices promote diversity, equality, and inclucivity? I took it to mean that if Susie in HR has a job description that includes anything about diversity in hiring, federal workers are supposed to rat on Susie or face consequences. Not on the folks who maybe arguably were hired because their presence increase diversity, equality, and/or inclucivity.
