Summary

Federal health workers are alarmed after the “DEI Watch List” website published names, photos, and salaries of employees, mainly Black, labeling them “targets” for involvement in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

The conservative American Accountability Foundation runs the site, which has sparked fears of doxxing and intimidation.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently issued memos demanding an end to DEI-related work, escalating paranoia. Some staff have been placed on leave.

    Nothing like Hitler’s rise to power. Both sides. Blah blah blah.

    Clinton and Obama over saw two massive economic recoveries, and trump and Bush have birth to absolute dumpster fire economies… But sure vote for conservative “for the economy.”

    Every conservative in office is a nazi supporting piece of shit.

      For anyone who isn’t white for the next four(ty) years, I’m really sorry.

              Perhaps. White women aren’t going to be happy. Poor white men are getting and are going to get fucked. Racial purity has more to do with status and wealth this time.

                  As long as the neo-Nazis find you ‘hot’, you’ll be as well off as the white women

                They will love it because it’s their people fucking them. Hold the lube? No problem.

      Also, things under Biden were at nearly record levels for so many indicators - in good directions.

      There are just a lot of very stupid people.

      And YES I’m blaming the voters. And a big fucking thanks to the “liberal media” that kept talking down the economy, FFS.

        Unfortunately for Biden a healthy economy didn’t translate to money in the pockets of people who needed it.

        Giving subsidies to green energy and supporting our allies is good policy, but it doesn’t fix the overinflated price of goods and human needs. And that’s what Americans working like slaves care about.

            When we judge our success off of GDP and the S&P, when the vast majority of stocks are owned by the rich and most Americans don’t own businesses, then yeah, economic success has almost no correlation with median wealth or income.

    This is so terrifying and it’s all happening at break neck speed. I feel so helpless. It’s like some nightmare version of whack-a-mole.

    People are looking the other way as this is happening. What if camps are built to more efficiently process those involved, will anyone oppose it? I do not know if it will happen again but what this all shows is how it could and how readily people fall in line.

    This anti-DEI push is literally just an attempt at re-segregating the country. That’s why these lists heavily target minorities. Their only goal is for their workplaces and government to be whites only again.

    The conservative superpower is declaring somebody an enemy randomly and then making it true by being terrible to them, and avoiding the five seconds of attention it would take to realize they don’t actually hate them.

    “I don’t know what the intention of the list is for,” the person said.

    Yes you do, it’s for Trump’s brownshirts
