Trump Wages All Out War On DEI

As recently as a few months ago, a purge like this seemed very difficult to imagine.

For those who are fans of DEI, yesterday will go down in infamy. It was, you might say, the DEI Pearl Harbor. At 5:00pm, all DEI offices within the federal government closed down. Employees were put on leave, as the first step towards mass-layoffs. The DEI section of every major federal website went offline. The heads of every DEI office in the federal government were rounded up, chained to giant boulders, and tossed into the sea. That last part didn’t happen, but a man can dream.

Back in reality, however, the Office of Personnel Management sent out a notice to the head of every federal agency, instructing them to ask employees, “if they know of any efforts to disguise” DEI programs or personnel in the federal government. Employees have 10 days to disclose any disguised DEI programs or personnel that they’re aware of. Almost immediately, one of these disguises became pretty apparent. It was visible to anyone who checked out the Leadership page of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
