Federal health workers terrified after 'DEI' website publishes list of 'targets'

The site calls out workers who have been involved with DEI initiatives. A majority are Black.

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.

        Personally, I think you have to realize that you cannot singlehandedly fight every battle. Then pick one cause that is important to you and go fight for that. Get past the overwhelm and take action on something.

        Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

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

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