You may disagree with DEI as a practice, but for Trump to go around firing people who were hired with it as a factor and threatening people who don’t turn others in - as though it’s some kind of crime - harkens back to some very dark days.

First it will be DEI. Get them used to reporting that. Next will be finding out who voted Democrat. People will balk, but they won't get super mad. Last will be who is non-white and male. By that time they've been through two rounds of purging already. No one will bat an eye out of fear.
I'm pretty sure at my last job I was a DEI hire. It was a remote job, and it allowed me to work from home with my child. I also learned the job fairly quickly. If not for that, I would have been working a more intense job in office and not spending as much time with my child when he was an infant.
Now you’re getting it.
That’s what America chose 11/5/2024.
74 million of us are just “collateral damage” against the 170 million people that chose fascism.🤦♂️
30% of the federal workforce are DEI hires. That is 2 million employees representing 1 DEI category.
Veterans, those who served & fought for our country are DEI hires & Trump wants to punish veterans and not reward them for serving America. He is a disgrace to the office of the president
Anyone non-white or male will be called a diversity hire if they don't follow the party line exactly, or maybe even if they do. Maybe if you see this kind of thing, burn down your office building once everyone leaves for the day. That way there can be no worry about DEI.
We need those wrongful termination lawsuits coming through folks…….taxpayers will have to pay for Trump’s reckless actions but worth it to put an end to this madness
We also need to push back on people disagreeing with DEI as a practice. This country is diverse. Diverse teams deliver better results. Equity means fairness and inclusion means “don’t be an asshole to folks who are different.”
It’s a purge with no regard for any consequences that may happen. The end justifies the means. Beyond that there is no plan and certaintly no concern for the damage this will do to lives, the country and of course the government itself.
Why did they have to be fired . If they were so unqualified bc of the color of their skin or bc they were woman then why not reassign. Instead they were fired. I would guess most post will be filled with less qualified white men.
My family were #Holocaust survivors. Ratting out friends and family for not following the regime's wishes is straight out of the Nazi playbook.
I wrote "Resilience" to warn about what was coming. But there are many lessons of #resistance, #kindness and survival, too. Pls see https://drjudystone.com
Yeah...usually found in Russia, CCP and Schicklgruber's Germany.
He's 💯 proving that the only book he ever read & studied is the Dictator's Guide to One Man in Control 24-7-365.
It won't matter if DEI was actually a factor or not, this is going to be used as a thinly veiled excuse to fire (or threaten to) anyone that isn't a straight, white male, regardless of their competence or performance.
Qualifying things to appeal to idiots so they might consider the consequences of his actions is folly & undermines a common sense approach to governance based on the actual history of our country. Quit legitimizing their hate. You can’t appeal to logic to bring them along with you. It doesn’t work.
Felon 47,according to MAGA's way of thinking,would be a DEI hire because he certainly isn't qualified to run this country!
Can we report him on that .gov website?
Whites have always effectively had their own DEI program, hired because of family and school connections, and no one blocking them because of their skin colour. There never has been a level playing field.
My son (white, cis) had plenty of part time jobs as he was growing up, and was hired immediately after he graduated from college. I asked him if he thought any of that would have happened if he wasn’t white. He said absolutely not.
sadly true. i know a couple, both recruiters. Progressive except they hate DEI. Their son is not bright and not living up to their expectations. Without the team White advantage, he will have to learn a trade (gasp). Why middleclass secretly votes Trump
And none of it will stick...the DEI personnel appear to be WH installed positions in agencies so they are at the discretion of the WH. As for Executive Orders, they only apply to Executive staff/entities and Military. NOONE in the civil service will comply with nazi type orders...
Stasi already, Brownshirts already, shutting down intelligensia public institutions already, threatening the media and business to pay homage already take over senior judiciary (dark money did that), demonize the 'other'..sure looks like the Fascism 101 playbook...face facts it is, thanks GOP scum🫡
A DEI employee according to Republicans/MAGA is revealed by color, LGBTQ, women in general, religion and will probably add immigration status, citizen status, political party and state residency as identifiers. Fascism is a slippery slope. Dems next slogan should be
Make Our Country Free Again!
All of you were warned by trump himself. I am sorry your wife is devastated however, why didn’t you know he was going after Veterans Affairs when he repeated his intent over and over again. He has never supported our war veterans. He has called them losers, were you not listening.
Sounds like they fucked around and found out. I don’t feel sorry for them. They voted for this.
I feel bad only for those that knew better and voted against Trump.
Go to https://Whitehouse.gov and look for the send a message link. I wouldn’t expect much if you are thinking Trump is going to call them up. Good luck anyway. Maybe your wife can look for work in Austin. We always need nurses here.
Let’s not forget - Donald Trump got his start by discriminating against black and brown people refusing to rent to them. No one, and I mean no one, including his supporters, should be surprised. We can be angry about what’s happening, but no one should be surprised. Donate to the ACLU.
(Right now at least) the employees being targeted are those assigned to agencies' DEI offices, not employees "hired with" DEI. Still just as horrible all around.
The DEI is having a DUI. DEI is so maligned (coming from a het white male). Your workforce should reflect your population. If you can't find qualified AA people it's not because they don't exist, it's because you're not trying.
America is already there I'm afraid. Ya'll need to start ACTIVELY and LOUDLY campaigning against Trump and his fascist chums. Dems in Congress need to be enjoined, and fast.
Threatening people to inform and report co-workers is new, but the anti-DEI garbage is a pretext to go around firing anyone that isn't a cisgender white male.
At the rate things are going, we're not far off from the "Whites Only, Blacks Need Not Apply" signs in shopfront windows coming back.
DEI as a practice makes sure that white males don't get jobs over equally qualified or more qualified non-whites or women. If you disagree with it, you're part of the problem.
Not only that, but people fail to realize it’ll impact them. You’re a white male over 50? Too old and too expensive bucko. You’re fired! You need viagra? That’s gender affirming care my guy!!!
What he’s saying is you must turn someone in or you will be placed under a cloud of suspicion - whether you know someone or not even involved with DEI. And by the way, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH DEI!!!!! When they say they don’t like DEI, what they mean is they don’t like POC, women, or LGBTQ.
What can you do to about companies dropping DEI policies? Use your wallet!
- Getting a new car? Only buy from a minority employee.
- Buying new carpet? Use a minority-owned company.
- Research products & companies BEFORE you buy from them.
Seek out minorities for EVERY purchase moving forward!
Comrade tRump has felt threatened when systems and opportunities are deliberately opened up to everyone - which reduces his opportunities in favor of more qualified, competent people.

Back then it was turn in any Jews

You'd be fighting for Uniformity, Unfairness, and Exclusivity. It sounds like a freaking cartoon villain plot. Or a KKK one.

Of course, once no one is working to fight racism/sexism/discrimination anymore, the net result will eventually be the same. But accuracy still impt.

Creating a workplace culture on a foundation of a Hostile Work Environment is detrimental to every organization.
It absolutely should not be the foundation for the federal government.
