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.”
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.
