Kevin BeaumontThe US Government has issued an executive order demanding employees snitch on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility initiatives by emailing: [email protected]
Just in case you wanted an email address for paywalls, mailing lists etc.
tiny_m@GossiTheDog I googled that and found this https://www.chcoc.gov/content/initial-guidance-regarding-deia-executive-orders which is pretty chilling stuff tbh.

@betalars I don't think until I read that , that I'd fully understood how scary the new administration is. I'm from the UK and I've never lived abroad. Our govt does some shady stuff but we do also have a fairly reliable legal system that would prevent this sort of stuff, so its really hard to imagine what it's like being in a country where you don't have that sort of protection for civil rights.
edit: you can all stop replying about the EHCR now. That wasn't the point of what I was getting at
David-TWe still have the protection of the ECHR! It's separate from the EU.
Despite the Tories (and the gutter press) making noises about leaving (repeatedly), they never did.
@yadt yeah I guess the point I was making was we have a lot of legal barriers that would prevent something like this happening where we live. I'm pretty sure if you tried to put an entire department on garden leave because their job involved preventing employment discrimination that's pretty strong grounds for constructive dismissal or calling your union to discuss a tribunal hearing. Especially for the civil service
