Talked to a friend who’s on a DEIA council. She got the email and said she was in tears

I don’t think people understand, these councils and many of these programs are tame. It’s like an auditor of sorts. They’re just there to ensure companies are diverse. When I was on a panel a few years back, i was the only black person. It is not specifically for black people. It didn’t even focus on black people. It’s not some secret cabal of black folk. We didn’t really ‘do’ anything substantial, it was basically just a working group

So for people to get THAT type of email, from the govt you work for, like you’re guilty of treason and need to report any communist friend, man this is CRAZY.
Yeah man, real shyt, there really ain't much that phases me but logging on and seeing that email officially hotshotted out to everybody agency wide is crazy.

Jan. 27 (UPI) -- Officials with Veterans Affairs announced on Monday that the department had completed the "initial implementation" of President Donald Trump's executive order to end DEI programs, putting 60 employees on leave.

The move comes a week after the Trump administration ordered all diversity, equity and inclusion federal employees to be placed on paid leave. Trump has promoted ending DEI initiatives and programs at the federal level and in general.
In a release, VA officials said the combined annual salary -- which it identified as base pay, locality pay and additional earnings -- of the affected employees totals more than $8 million.
The department said it also has targeted "several contracts for DEI-related trainings, materials and other consulting services" that it is trying to cancel, saying those contracts total more than $6.1 million

"Under President Trump, VA is laser-focused on providing the best possible care and benefits to veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors. We are proud to have abandoned the divisive DEI policies of the past and pivot back to VA's core mission. We look forward to reallocating the millions of dollars the department was spending on DEI programs and personnel to better serve the men and women who have bravely served our nation," said VA Director of Media Affairs Morgan Ackley.




Additionally, VA officials said the department is taking down "a variety of DEI-related media from its various digital properties."


The move comes as political conservatives continue to oppose DEI efforts in public and private arenas.

Later on Monday, according to reports, Trump is expected to sign several executive orders -- one ending DEI in military programs, and one that bans transgender people from serving in the military
