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.

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.

For anyone who isn't white for the next four(ty) years, I'm really sorry.

[–] [email protected] 73 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Hey, plenty of white women and white poor people will get fucked as well.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Which is why my wife and I are desperately trying to move to Canada. I'm so sick of the US.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Can you tell me how you're doing it? It seems really difficult.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

True. Those aren't the 'pure' whites though.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

To be fair, non-white people will undoubtedly have it worse.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

White women will be in a utopia compared to black women, who are already at the bottom in American society.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (17 children)

As long as the neo-Nazis find you 'hot', you'll be as well off as the white women

Anyone who isn’t a white able bodied straight man who is middle - upper class and isn’t a leftist.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

There are a lot of whites that are going to be harmed as well. Believe that.

Also, things under Biden were at nearly record levels for so many indicators - in good directions.

There are just a lot of very stupid people.

And YES I'm blaming the voters. And a big fucking thanks to the "liberal media" that kept talking down the economy, FFS.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Unfortunately for Biden a healthy economy didn't translate to money in the pockets of people who needed it.

Giving subsidies to green energy and supporting our allies is good policy, but it doesn't fix the overinflated price of goods and human needs. And that's what Americans working like slaves care about.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It’s almost like the economy doesn’t account for most Americans.

But doxxing the folks working for Elon in the Treasury department is a crime?

Okay.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

This is the "law and order" the qons so very much crave.

Law and order will be applied to all of YOU - meaning the others, the peasants, etc...law and order does not apply to ME - meaning those considered part of the in-group.

Naturally a lot of peasant dumbass qons think they'll be part of the in-group. 🤣

[–] [email protected] 57 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago (5 children)

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.

The second amendment gives us the right to bear arms against a tyrannical government.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The laws of physics give tyrannical governments the power to turn me into a cloud of pink mist the moment I get too uppity.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

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.

This feels like it should be a federal crime.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It is, but laws don't apply to president Musk and his dog.

They're admitting to us that we can't remove them from power legally

Here's their tip line. It would be a shame if people started flooding the site with nonsense tips.

This anti-DEI push is literally just an attempt at re-segregating the country. That's why these lists heavily target minorities. Their only goal is for their workplaces and government to be whites only again.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

The conservative superpower is declaring somebody an enemy randomly and then making it true by being terrible to them, and avoiding the five seconds of attention it would take to realize they don't actually hate them.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Conservative Accountability? lol

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

That’s an oxymoron if ever I saw one.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

“I don’t know what the intention of the list is for,” the person said.

Yes you do, it's for Trump's brownshirts

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I think I've had enough internet for a few months.

I just feel so despairing and helpless. I'm not even American.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Wonder where they are getting their information. Wonder if it's legal.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

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.
