The memo, headed with the subject line “ENDING ILLEGAL DEI AND DEIA DISCRIMINATION AND PREFERENCES,”

Ofcourse its in full caps... just like his silly tweets.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

that has to be a stage name, right?

[–] banshee@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

This inherently conflicts with Trump's instruction to challenge anti-christian bias.

[–] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

This sounds... Efficient?

So your going to file charges against companies if they adhere to something that had been law/government policy for the last decade or more? I would love to hear exactly what charges you're planning on filing...

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The charge? You very much hurt my feelings and I'm forever butthurt over you being decent to others, that's the charge!

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

They are claiming that DEI is discriminatory.

“I can hurt your feelings, but you can’t hurt mine”.

Doesn't matter. If they have a sympathetic court, they can convict on anything.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

Defying the will of the Dear Leader. That is the only crime now.

[–] hansolo@lemm.ee 8 points 2 days ago

This is a level of shit that despotic African nations don't sink to.

We need to start calling it “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.” I know it’s a few extra syllables, but if we can adopt that language and the press can adopt it, then we can press these fucking idiots on which part of it they find criminal.

[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 13 points 2 days ago

This is also why I was never a fan of the Antifa abbreviation. If you're gonna say you're anti-anti-fascist, I want you to fully say it.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

It also makes it obvious how stupid a phrase like "do DEI" is.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

They'll just argue that whatever we name it, its name is unrelated to what it actually does. I can easily see them saying "Just because you call it Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, doesn't mean it actually does those things."

"Criminally Investigate"

Investigate in a criminal manner

Yes, sounds about right.

Rudy should've called Saul.
