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.”

    I’ll begin reporting people who work for Dale Earnhardt Inc (DEI). They have a neat museum in North Carolina.

    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.

    They’ll just start firing minorities next. In fact, they’ll start now, I’m guessing. This is what the idiots and biggots voted for.

    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.

    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.

          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.

          what the fuck is a deia contract. Do they just want a list of scapegoats they can be racist, sexist, and bigoted to?

      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…

    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.

      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.

      Ah I found a mistake

      (b) Telegraph

      (1) Delay the transmission and delivery of telegrams to enemy destinations.

      (2) Garble telegrams to enemy destinations so that another telegram will have to be sent or a long distance call will have to be made. Sometimes it will be possible to do this by changing a single letter in a word—for example, changing “minimum” to “maximum,” so that the person receiving the telegram will not know whether “minimum” or “maximum” is meant.

      Surely the intended word is “manimum” because it’s one letter from minimum and one letter from maximum.
