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.”
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…
Well, actually, the Nazis called it “Machtergreifung” and this is exactly the playbook Trump follows.
They hate you because you’re poor
They’ll hate me even if I was rich, instead they’ll love my money.
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.
Yeah you’re correct
And every agency got this, not just NASA. It’s high visibility politics saying “guys, we’re in charge here.”
Politically, it’s their only real quick, easy win, to say “we ended wokeness in the Deep State” by sidelining at most a couple hundred staff and a few million in funding.
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.
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.
It’s only illegal if they don’t have the courts on their side.
The SCOTUS can “interpret” a challenged Jay walking law as “well this clearly says the President can order the killing of all the minorities with abandon” and that’s it, no recourse short of physically fighting and dying to them.
And that’s where we’re at. The Federalist Society that began under Reagan was a slow moving coup.
The framers slept in on Checks on the Judicial day. An impossibly high senate impeachment bar. For that reason and more, our constitution needs to collapse and we need a new one, one that treats practiced greed, ie pursuing many times more than what your fellow citizens live on, as the central threat to society that it is.
The only recourse within the system is impeachment.
Don’t name anyone. Or better, name known fascist placeholders.
That’s what I was thinking. Have them chase each other or some ghost.
fuckin make me
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.
By current policy, it is the role of everyone in an organization to implement and support DEIA. So every single employee should report every other employee in their org.
I’ll begin reporting people who work for Dale Earnhardt Inc (DEI). They have a neat museum in North Carolina.
How would they even know? Isn’t that protected information?
