My friends in gov are experiencing this stuff. Emails telling them to report all DEI contracts or face consequences. Shits real.

Can confirm from people I know as well. Lots of McCarthy-style “rat out your coworkers.”

Right? I work in a company that has a lot of government contracts, I'm just a janitor, but it's known I'm trans... do I count as a "DEI Hire" ?

Yes. Anyone not a white cishet Christian male is a DEI hire. There will be some exceptions for straight Christian women for a little while, but they’ll be targeted soon enough and put to pasture with the other breeding stock. Moo.
