So do you think there was anything …ANYTHING AT ALL you might have done prior to the election that might have stopped this from happening?? Too little, way way too late.
Stop calling it DEI! They’re attacking 60s era civil rights. They call it DEI to whip up their base. It’s human rights they’re targeting but certainly civil rights like equal opportunity employment and women’s rights. Agree with above as well—don’t legitimize the crypto department.
This isn’t a war on DEI… it’s a war on diversity. Erasing identity holidays has nothing to do with hiring or DEI. DOGE was supposed to target fraud, not purge the country of minorities, women and gay people.
So much talent and potential will be squashed so a bunch of insecure and incompetent white men can strut about and harass others freely again at work. And raise their sons to do the same. And unfortunately a lot of this msg gets absorbed by white women/girls too.
JFC WaPo, this is exactly what you wanted! You were never "neutral" in this election. In the contest between Fascism and democracy you refused to take a stand. That wasn't neutrality, that was an endorsement of racism. homophobia, and misogyny.
i am having a hard time believing all the thousands of folks being fired or are on the chopping block were DEI hires or have anything at all to do with DEI or woke.
This is not shocking at all. We it’s brains knew this was going on it’s all the others stupid assholes that seem surprised. Trump lied about 2025 like he lies about every other fucking thing. He opens his asshole shooed mouth & says nothing but fucking lies.
They’re not concerned that POC have lesser abilities. They are getting rid of DEI, so that they can hire lesser qualified white people. That is their intention. Because they know the loyalists are mostly white. Most important thing, is to get in a loyalist, and it doesn’t matter if they’re clueless.
Not to mention the level of inefficiency this actually creates. Hiring new people versus vetting who you could reskill towards a new position is not an efficient business practice and they know this. Throwing out capable people is waste all in itself.
This had become clear long before the election, it was called Project 2025. You do your readers a disservice by reporting on it after the fact as if it's suddenly a surprise. Everyone saw this coming, including WAPO. #complicit
When the white supremacists (Trump, Musk, Vance, MAGAs) tell you a thing is evil and needs to go, that is enough to tell you it should probably not go. Or if you think it should be modified, it should not be by the hands and evil of the white supremacists.
Enjoy your freedom of speech and a free press while you still can
Our civil rights & democracy are quickly unraveling
Our self-righteous belief in American exceptionalism and our sanctimonious belief in our infallible denocracy are exposed as fraud due to our inability to hold Trump accountable
Your Nazi owner ditched DEI day one for Amazon. You in trouble now, this article seems woke, what will your evil oligarch think of you obtaining documents to support a story that’s been obvious to the rest of us for some time. Pssst see Project 2025 for details.
Face to face I say thanks very much, that's such a nice compliment to receive. Online i tell them I'm not from their country, we don't use that word like that here and ask them to explain it's meaning. It's great fun, try it
So with abandonment of initiatives relating to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (or DEI for those looking for the boogeyman), does this mean we get to go back to hiring/promoting those with a more unqualified, timeworn and vanilla appearance?

MAGA is living proof .
Stop pretending to be unbiased.
By the way, was Bezos out of earshot when somebody greenlighted this piece?

The appointment of unqualified sycophants such as Pete Hegseth (and there are many examples) attests to this.
Democracy is dying in the darkness.
Oligarch undertaxed wealth:
💰Musk’s $402 billion
💰Zuckerberg's $252 billion
💰Bezos' $249 billion
Workers:
🛠️60% live paycheck to paycheck
🛠️ 85 million uninsured or underinsured
🛠️ 800k homeless⁰

Can anyone name something bad that Hitler did in 1933, where Trump is not currently attempting something similar?
