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.”

    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.

    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.

    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…

      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.

    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.
