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.

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 hours 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.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago (1 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 minutes ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 minutes ago

Sure, just as well off... like all the women in concentration camps the original lot took as "mistresses" before murdering them anyway.

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

Okay.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours 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] 35 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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.

Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

This feels like it should be a federal crime.
