"Screenshot of an article by Erica L. Green, titled 'Federal workers were given 10 days to report on attempts to ‘disguise’ D.E.I. programs.' The article discusses the Trump administration's directive to federal employees to report colleagues who defy orders to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, with warnings of 'adverse consequences' for non-compliance. Employees were given a 10-day deadline to report violations via email without facing disciplinary action."

This is effectively a snitch on women, people of color, and LGBTQ folks policy. White men can just baselessly accuse any minority of being DEI and get them fired. They created a permission structure to bring back segregation as a matter of policy by calling it anti DEI.

The #FDA website had to remove all information that ensures that
- #women,
- people of diverse #ethnic backgrounds,
- #lgbtq people,
- people with #disabilities,
- #socially-disadvantaged people
are adequately included in #clinical #trials so that new drugs and therapies work for everyone.
