The Trump administration is firing hundreds and perhaps thousands of federal workers as part of a crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. Many of the fired weren't in DEI jobs.

It’s 1925. It’s white guys rule time. The Trumpsters and Muskrats’ criteria is, if you look DEI, you’re gone. They couldn’t care less how important your job is and apparently, the DOGE teenagers are making the call.
But that's not DEI or affirmative action. You've changed their definition to suit your argument.
Hence, your improper use of the word literally and my popular use of it.
A part of both DEI and affirmative action is taking race into consideration when making hiring or admission decisions. That’s a fact. It also takes other characteristics into account like sex (which is also wrong to discriminate based on).
He’s mostly targeting the white lesbian. I think he wants to make people straight by making women unhappy. I don’t think America is going to make it through conversation therapy.
If you're not a white male, you're considered DEI. This regime intends to make it so that only that demographic is allowed to have living-wage jobs, like it was in the not-so-distant-past.
STOP parroting & giving credence to the existence of DEI jobs being a thing.
It’s not a problem. Never was a problem.
It’s a racist, right-wing, fabricated issue.
These are ALL highly qualified professionals who are being fired because they are black, brown or Hispanic.
Pure racism under a guise.
Seems this admin wants to hobble all civic services, in order than privatization can occur. DEIA is just an excuse for purge that MAGAts can get behind
The goal has always been to crack down on the hiring of non-white, non-Christian men and women so that chaos and tensions would rise.
The oligarchs tearing apart our government and rights seek to create an environment where the poor attack each other, and the wealthy profit from the suffering.
It's all about racism within the entire administration as they remain all
Persons of Caucasian or white pure backgrounds and everyone of color or mixed race is forced out of the White House. If that isn't a racial inequality of representation, jus wait until the KKK, and Nazi members start showing
A civil society needs a centralized workforce to manage and perform all the essential services required to make the country run. In addition, to take care of infrastructure and the health and welfare of the most needy it requires taxes. trump is getting rid of both. What will we have left?
What percentage of those fired were women?
Despite being a majority of the population, women are considered DEIA hires as a "minority." (Which is super unfair to minorities.)
Maybe it's time to show these incels what "real women" can do when they're pissed.
We'll be Incel Containment Enforcers 😆
As my friend who always voted Republican said. These Republicans want to sit and watch my retirement die can be replaced in next year. He is not going to forget. He took his Trump sign and burned it!!! #TrumpTariffs #Trump #TrumpMarketCrash #RepublicanParty
Thank you NPR, for continuing to report on all of the casualties of this administration honestly. It’s a low bar for journalism and yet so few are clearing it these days.
You can just say he’s firing all of the women and black people and embracing segregation, NPR. You don’t need to embrace the administration’s narrative frame.
“Crackdown” is an interesting word choice given its usual association with something negative. Using it assumes the admin’s stance on DEI is true. Which isn’t the intent?
Make America smart again - they were fired because they are women, minorities, well educated, successful, and have friends, unlike MAGA anti-social morons.
Which part of the 8 years long warning that "immigrants are poisoning the blood of real Americans" and "all non-whites will be rounded up and deported" statements did you miss?
Maybe start writing the truth about what's going on, instead of paying lip-service to the orange fuhrer.
In the context of a federal job (or any government job, really), it's one with a dedicated unit that focuses on fair employment practices, often part of a larger HR agency. Many such units actually had "DEI" in their titles.
In addition, there's been a slew of staff that have focused, as part of their jobs, on things like community engagement, social supports, complaint investigation from the public in relation to things like discrimination and unfair treatment, etc.
If you are not white, if you are a woman, if you are gender non conforming, if you are queer, if your political leanings are liberal or leftist … *you* are on the chopping block. It was all outlined for us in Project2025 …
The use of the term "DEI jobs" here is misleading. These were people who, as the full article says, were not in DEI implementation offices. But they were apparently fired because someone above them in the bureaucracy decided for no defined reason that their jobs had something to do with DEI.
“DEI”, “CRT”, “groomer”, “Marxist”, “pedo”: labels to which Republicans and Rightwing media have conditioned their easily manipulated troglodyte audiences to respond, with no regard for relevance or meaning.
Pourvu que la providence le vire de la surface de la terre au plus vite. Lui et ses sbires. Trop de pollutions. À désintégrer en urgence 🫵🏽 Pour retrouver un climat vivable avant qu’il soit trop tard.
Maybe instead of using terms that lend credence to MADE UP RIGHT-WING PROPAGANDA, NPR, you could try running a story about all of the VETERANS fired by the Trump admin??
Just a thought that doesn't include uncritically parroting bullshit.

They're not perfect but better than NPR at times
It's easy to read up on things before speaking about them.
Give it a try some time.
You may think it’s an acceptable instance of race-based discrimination, but that doesn’t change the fact that that’s what it is.
Hence, your improper use of the word literally and my popular use of it.
But mr trump, you cannot take away DEI - it's my faith. 💖

Pure racism under a guise.
Please consider posting current, proactive pro-democracy solutions that are being carried out.

Really?
They’re just racist homophobes that believe any post filled by non white non straight is dei.
They have token cabinet appointments that are there b/c they just lick the boots of the DOTUS.

What the hell difference does that make? It doesn't even make sense? What's a DEI job?
I'm so glad I cancelled my annual membership. Do better!
