Be a shame if the hotline for reporting anyone related to DEI got enrolled to every spam newsletter under the sun.
A real shame.

Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

It's such a weirdly unserious email address too. Like apart from the .gov aspect, this sounds like a blog username, not a actual government process. Theoretically if this was just boring government policy now, you don't need some special email address, you'd just email your supervisor or some sort of general oversight email address like any other violation of policy.
It's such a weirdly unserious email address too.
Because all the Facebook boomers just took over our government. Expect this kind of "official" language from now on, complete with random capitalizations and unfounded conspiracy theories thrown in.
Also OPM was that Heaven is a Halfpipe band.
If I die before I wake/ at least in heaven I can skate/ 'cause right now on Earth I can't do shit/ without the man fucking with it.
"We are aware of efforts by some in government to disguise these programs by using coded or imprecise language," she wrote. "If you are aware of a change in any contract description or personnel position description since November 5, 2024 to obscure the connection between the contract and DEIA or similar ideologies, please report all facts and circumstances."
Don't forget to report your colleagues if you suspect them of harboring radical ideologies like not believing in white supremacism.
My understanding is that this message went out to all federal employees, not just NASA.
I doubt the face of NASA being compliant will reflect the reality. NASA leads diversity in aerospace.
35% women, 11% black, 2.2% LGBTQ. Keep in mind the diversity of their hiring pool is not 1:1 with the US population's diversity. 14% of aerospace engineers are women, 5.7% are black, 8% are LGBTQ. NASA ain't gonna change their hiring habits because they are looking for the best and brightest and DGAF about who they are.
My favorite part of these, like his executive orders, are the rambling nonsense explanations they're giving for them, as if people are supposed to go, "huh, yeah, that makes sense, glad I know that now!" As if it weren't a pure propaganda plot.
Yes report your neighbor for reeducation.
I have submitted a DEIA role report to DEIAtruth@opm.gov giving my feelings about how DEIA roles are useful, and I'd encourage everyone to do the same. To help ensure it gets read, pick a subject that makes it hard to tell if it is a report of a person vs your feelings.
Better yet, report things that are obscure, no longer exist, or programs that Trump likes, make them waste even more time and piss off the wrong people. Or just report local PD and say they're you saw government workers at (PD address) recruiting minorities
Chasing down dead end leads takes time and destroys morale. Government programs live and die on metrics and headcount, and it's politics all the way down.
If this program works well, they can just claim they got a tip off and use it to replace people at will. If it's a trainwreck that is annoying instead of effective, Trump will just claim success and cut them loose
That’s not very Starfleet of them
We're in the Terran Empire timeline
This is so fucking dumb.
It is extremely shitty. I think NASA also agrees it’s shitty. NASA is owned by the government, and thus has to comply with this executive order. So while they may be rolling over, they HAVE to whether we like it or not.
Fortunately we have alternatives to NASA, like Space X /s
"Do you see any black or latinos or women? Report them asap"
The stun lock continues.
It's good the US is finally leaving the space race to allow more efficient programs to advance humanity forward.
They're going to give all that NASA money to space-x
