Summary

Federal health workers are alarmed after the “DEI Watch List” website published names, photos, and salaries of employees, mainly Black, labeling them “targets” for involvement in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

The conservative American Accountability Foundation runs the site, which has sparked fears of doxxing and intimidation.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently issued memos demanding an end to DEI-related work, escalating paranoia. Some staff have been placed on leave.

    This is so terrifying and it’s all happening at break neck speed. I feel so helpless. It’s like some nightmare version of whack-a-mole.

      Their states strategy is to overwhelm the system so it/we cannot cope. I haven’t heard of a good strategy to counter this, but we’ll need to find one.

        It will come to people arming up and then violence as they begin to shoot people out of fear for their lives.

      Info about fed employees’ names, job titles, and salaries is publicly available info, bc the government is actually more transparent than the slack-jawed yokels will have you believe. Kinda like how your political party affiliation and whether you voted is publicly available.

      There unfortunately are legal ways to get such information (and much more) with a bit of money, but I somehow doubt they are smart enough for that. I suspect they have someone leaking internal information, which could be illegal.

    Nothing like Hitler’s rise to power. Both sides. Blah blah blah.

    Clinton and Obama over saw two massive economic recoveries, and trump and Bush have birth to absolute dumpster fire economies… But sure vote for conservative “for the economy.”

    Every conservative in office is a nazi supporting piece of shit.

              It is difficult. Basically you have to apply. Prove you can contribute to their country/society . Apply and wait. It can take several months to get denied.

              Trying to apply for jobs and get sponsored for a work visa. I don’t have a degree, so it’s kind of my only option.

              Perhaps. White women aren’t going to be happy. Poor white men are getting and are going to get fucked. Racial purity has more to do with status and wealth this time.

      Either those people are illegally in the Treasury systems and should be identified or they’re legitimate government employees and their public has a right to know who they are.

      Okay.

    People are looking the other way as this is happening. What if camps are built to more efficiently process those involved, will anyone oppose it? I do not know if it will happen again but what this all shows is how it could and how readily people fall in line.

      Every single post or mention I see that’s critical of Trump’s mass deportation actions is followed immediately with ‘‘they are criminals, they broke the law’’ they are ready for all levels of genocide and there’s plenty of sensible kick the can democrats who are ALSO ready to not care when this happens. After all. They broke the law.

          They view this comment as they view their Bible they closely hold to their heart as they spew hate and ignorance across the entire populace.

            I believe you could make an argument that those words are the highest ever spoken by humanity, the closest we have come to the Divine. I would not want those that felt that then to know how we speak today.
