What's next, the use of informants, surveillance, house searches, and brutal interrogation methods, including torture, to carry out investigations just like the Gestapo?
Never snitched on anyone for any reason in a 30 year Government career. There were people that did, though. Everybody knew who they were and hated them.
Why the hell is the NYTimes showing up in my Bluesky feed? I unsubscribed a year ago for a reason. I don’t want to read your BS reporting on anything. Your coverage on Biden, Transgender issues and the War in Gaza was as bad as or even worse than the Murdoch media empire covered.
I truly wonder if Rambunctious young Hackers will flood every reporting email address, and take every reporting hotline down as if it’s a challenge accepted?
What about reporting coworkers who implement Trump’s reverse DEI initiative?
Anyway, cute idea, Trump. Expanding upon the reporting of friends, neighbors, and acquaintances, as required by Texas’s abortion law. Or as implemented by Nazi Germany 85 years ago.
Creating the Surveillance State. Increase the division between Americans by incentivizing people to spy and report on their co-workers, neighbors and friends. The potential for wide scale abuse and victimization is enormous.
😆 Trump White House so white. Also so male and heterosexual. We’ve gone back in time to the 1950s. All we need is Joe McCarthy to make it complete. And yes, MAGA has no sense of decency. No shame either.
I tried telling the mice that they would suffer if they didn't report the ones who ate the cheese. It didn't work. The ones who sprung the trap also didn't talk. It's strange.
As usual, the Times buries the lede here, which is that “A” - accessibility has joined the DEI acronym to further expand the fast growing list of people the kooks openly want done away with.
Explain to me exactly what DEI efforts means. If I’m a federal employee and I hire a perfectly capable POC will I be accused of DEI hiring? What does this even mean?!?!
Welp there it is, it means nothing lmao literally just a vague blanket “rule” to ensure vile people have a lil racist sexist transphobic homophobic etc coupon they can cash in anytime they feel like it (spoiler they’ll feel like it a lot)
DEI efforts like hiring Pete Hegseth because he's white and "Christian"? Because, clearly, it's not his job qualifications that got him the nomination.
I want to point out that DEI does things like ensure stairs have visual edges so they don’t blend in and cause visually impaired people to fall down them. Republicans are pro falling down stairs.
Yep, this is venturing on scary, 1933 Germany territory. Trump is not only saying for federal employees to report on each other but also be putting their careers at risk 'if they fail to report.' What's next? Fed employees 'being reported for not reporting someone that even forgot to report?' Insane
Their definition of merit is that straight white men are the best at everything, and anyone else who wants equal treatment is asking for special rights.
Like RFK "not a doctor" Jr. for Health czar?
Like "Bribe Me" Bondi for AG?
Like "Russia talking point" Gabbard for Sec. of Intelligence?
Like "Another round! " Pete for Sec. of Defense?
DEI is an inefficient burocracy in US government. We already have affirmative action laws.
Another good move on cutting fat out of our budget.
Note: I voted for Biden and then for Harris.
I cried driving home from work today after I got a text from
The school district informing parents that the U.S. Dept. Of Immigration cam and will enter schools and churches to find and deport people. What a horrible place America has become. Terrible. 😭
Saying you don't think DEI initiatives are necessary is one thing. Asking people to snitch on co-workers that do want to include DEI factors in their teams and departments is a big step beyond that. And even more when you punish people for not snitching on colleagues.
They DID!
Every news outlet did but noone listened.
They could have reported that Trump has an underage sexslave in his bathroom, people would have kept looking in the other direction.
Noone is more blind than the one who does not want to see.
....to be fair, there was plenty of content about the possibilities of a trump govt.....I read the paper cover to cover everyday....so I disagree with you......
we all have opinions....I'm glad you are so strident in yours....maybe next time realise most of us couldn't give a shit what you think.....take care....
But half the Américains didn’t, though.
Of those who voted, he obtained just over 50%
But that was just over 31% of the total
So almost 70% did not vote for him.
This is the FAFO for all those feds who thought supporting him was a great idea. All those Blacks, Browns, Asians, Women for trump. We saw and heard you support him, and warned you what would happen. Here you are, Day 3. He'll want you in his army, though (except women).
Donald Trump is a Nazi. If you can’t call him a Nazi at least call him a fascist. But calling him Mr. Trump is gross. Allowing opinion writers to apologize for him is gross. Inviting other fascist to defend him which you will do in the future is also going to be gross.
Yet the New York Times keeps treating Trump as normal. Trump is a Nazi. The opinion writers, you have to constantly apologize for him, or also Nazis. But you can keep pretending they’re not.
That's right. Just because he's rounding up groups of marginalized people, discussing lebensraum in Panama and Greenland and Canada, freeing the brownshirts who attacked the capitol Jan 6th, controlling the media, coddling Leon, and establishing a Gestapo, there's nothing Nazi-like about him.
Aside from greed, the one thing Trump believes in is white supremacy. He’s a narcissistic nepo baby. He got to where he is bc his family & that we are unequal society. His insecurity, inherent in narcissism, would never let him recognize that, so he has to believe white men are just superior.
Elon Musk just endorsed the new Nazi party of Germany a month and three days ago. He did two Nazi salutes at a Trump rally. Go ahead and find your own word. Stick with fascist, frankly I don’t really care.
So wait? Does this means anyone of color, different nationality etc. can’t be hired at all anymore? Everyone that is not white and does not salute the Führer is DEI for them now!
“today class we have one of the J6 hostages here speaking to us and telling us how we saved the world from tyranny by adding some tyranny to the world, you make great city and country by destroying it , then you get to write your own pardons “
What is a DEI effort? I understand if you have a job and are not a white male then you are a DEI hire, but what is a DEI effort? Interviewing a black woman for a job?
🍒 Terrible consequences are foregone conclusions for the next 1463 days, with/without their help. I'll take the stick, thank you, if the only other option is explaining to my doctor how the carrot got there with a straight face.
The media need to start calling this psychopath sociopath Adjudicated Sexual Assaulter Convicted Felon what he Isa cruel soulless far white Satanic Hitler. This devil will destroy all of us but maybe the rich bro tech spoiled brats. There r more of anti Trump Hitler’s than the orange boy sycophants

What protections do Federal employees have against retaliation for failure to report this information, Union or Non-Union?
What type of retaliation could an employee face?
Tax the wealthy!
Like that?
In unrelated news, if anyone is looking for an online service to stress test sending large volumes of email to your account, this could be helpful

Chivato. Snitch. Rat.
Every culture has a word for it; it never means “hero.”

wtf does he care, though... he doesn't have to pay for it personally.
The school district informing parents that the U.S. Dept. Of Immigration cam and will enter schools and churches to find and deport people. What a horrible place America has become. Terrible. 😭
You know, instead of obsessing over Biden’s age or whatever.
Every news outlet did but noone listened.
They could have reported that Trump has an underage sexslave in his bathroom, people would have kept looking in the other direction.
Noone is more blind than the one who does not want to see.
The media is a business and outrage generates eyeballs.
It’s all the same tone as a corporate HR person policing language and emotion.
It’s not fit to wipe my ass.
Go back to reading just how you should cup your bosses’ balls.
Or, as Monty Python taught us, “It’s tattooed on the back of ‘is neck.”
Of those who voted, he obtained just over 50%
But that was just over 31% of the total

Or no... Snitch on your manager when they promote your female co-worker instead of you.
Where are HIS CONSEQUENCES!?
It’s is so loaded and Nazis were driven to destruction by ideology
Trump is more kleptocratic and authoritarian. Maybe a kleptofascist
At his core I think he still wants to scam and steal and believes very little
Now it's going to be way harder to fix this.
🍊💩🖕
Of course they will.
