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.

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

          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.

        Don’t be naive and think this is actually about getting information and not a way to find out who’s willing to fuck over their coworkers and kiss Der Furher 's ass-ring
