Trump Wants Snitches to Report on DEI. There’s Just One Problem.

Donald Trump wants people to expose diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in the federal government. The idea is already flopping.

The threat was loud and clear: Report your so-called “DEI” employees or else. What exactly “DEIA or similar ideologies” means is up in the air, but the message was out there. And so was the email address of the DEIA snitching hotline. Fake emails quickly started to roll in. ‘I don’t care, fuck these McCarthyite bastards,” one BlueSky user said, with an screenshot attached of an email to the hotline where he ironically reported Donald Trump and JD Vance for being “put in their positions solely because of their race and/or gender despite the fact that they are wholly unqualified for their jobs and, in some cases, have criminal records.” “Anyone have a script to fire off a billion e-mails an hour??” another user asked in the replies. “Anyone can email anything of any size even if it crashes the site,” one X user noted. The scope and effectiveness of this latest phase of Trump’s anti-DEI crusade remains to be seen.

Remember, everyone, we still have a system in place and the Constitution still exists. We are not in a full dictatorship, yet. We can not give in to despair at every single thing this new administration does, because those checks still exist.

And until they don't - and that's a big if - we must keep our heads about us. Do not panic. Do not fall into apathy. Do not do anything irreversible.

The system will not save us, but it can protect us from the worst possible outcome for now.

And we will continue to fight even once it can't or won't.

I love being transgender and I'll never stop

Today was scary but raising 3k with my sister and being with my girlfriend filled me with hope. I love being transgender and I'll never stop.

part of the reason i could never take being against intersex transfems who are "too female" seriously is just... people do this all the time? people insist that the multiply marginalised in their community aren't really "one of them" all the time, and i mean ALL THE TIME.

when it's intersex transfems they're not male enough or have easier transitions. when it's black transfems they're too manly and aggressive. when it's muslim transfems they're not really queer because all muslims are evil misogynists. when it's disabled transfems they're just not intelligent enough to make those decisions about their own bodies. when it's transfems from the global south they're homophobic savages and couldn't possibly know what a queer person is.

but conveniently it's the white, perisex, raised christian, abled, western trans people who NEVER have to prove that they deserve a place in the community. do you people think you're being subtle?

Trump is gonna level gaza so isn't donating just a waste of time at this point? We're simply not going to make it. There is no hope

can you shut the fuck up
