I hope he starts with all his stupid ass kids who don’t deserve to be anywhere near government.

(I know he won’t.)

Feel free to report ANY violations of people trying to obscure their DEI work to DEIAtruth@opm.gov

Seriously, like any at ALL not real not not fake incidents that you have seen!

How does he know who's there for DEI

My understanding is that he is cutting the people who promote/enforce DEI in the goverment and not those who were hired because of it.

Also he can't actuall cut them, so instead they will be in indefinite paid leave.

Wish I was a DEI worker right now TBH...
