Federal health workers terrified after 'DEI' website publishes list of 'targets'

Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them at one point as “targets.”

It’s unclear when the website, which lists mostly Black employees who work in agencies primarily within the Department of Health and Human Services, first appeared.

“Offenses” for the workers listed on the website include working on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, donating to Democrats and using pronouns in their bios.

The website, a government worker said, is being circulated among multiple private group chats of federal health workers across agencies, as well as through social media links.

The site also reached Dr. Georges Benjamin, the executive director of the American Public Health Association, who learned about it Tuesday evening when a federal health worker sent it to him.

The site lists workers’ salaries along with what it describes as “DEI offenses,” including political donations, screenshots of social media posts, snippets from websites describing their work, or being a part of a DEI initiative that has been scrubbed from a federal website.

Benjamin suggested the acts of online harassment are criminal. “Law enforcement should look into them.”


I honestly thought this was an exaggeration at first. But this is seriously Gestapo level shit.

Such as being nice to other people? This right out how to be a Facsist handbook.

The bottom line is that Musk and Trump are rooted in racism, sexism, and going after
“the other people” such as immigrants.

I think everyone underestimated this because Chump was so inept in his first term.

Apparently all the hard rightwing, religious, libertarian, billionaires got together and made a blueprint.

1. This blitzkrieg will disable so many safeguards and side rails that we the people will be too stunned to do anything (yet).

2. This will fail spectacularly in part by internal chaos between Musk/Chump/GOP/Puppet Masters.

I'm hoping this Lightning War and the unintended consequences not thought about by the dunces in charge will zap a massive number of MAGA and just plain R's to stand up with us.

16. How "they" did it.

On the front end over 3.5 million voters were removed from the voting rolls prior
to the election (I think it is a lot more) and Musk and the GRU were into the vote
data on the back end.

Trump, Musk is very good at controlling those vote counting computers aka central tabulators.

Getting rid of the CIA is a must for Trump because they know he is Russian dirty and acted
as a check on him during his 1st term.

Trump gave up the names of all of our intelligence agents and their contacts to Putin
after he met with him in Helsinki.

The lazy golfer who cheats is just one more flunky employee of the oligarchs. They gave him Get Out of Jail Cards and taxpayer funded security, travel, living expenses, and made it so he gets the attention he craves. But he ain't in charge and deep down, he knows he's just the guy who flips on the office lights now.

Just a wretched cosmic alignment of all the wrong people with all the money and power.

This will not end peacefully or easily.

Hopefully they will implode from the weight of their hate.

today I would not be responsible for my actions. Normally I can control myself, but the pressure is building. I need to think up some inobvious way of beating someone's face in.

8. American Accountability Foundation a conservative watchdog group.
Wed Feb 5, 2025, 11:23 AM
Feb 2025

A note at the bottom of the website says, “A project of the American Accountability Foundation.” which is a conservative watchdog group.

I searched for the group on the internets. Discovered:

AAF is led by Tom Jones.
he served as the Legislative Director for Senator Ron Johnson, ran the opposition research program for Cruz for President, and previously as a Senior Policy Advisor to Senator Jim DeMint.

What a bunch of fascist clowns.

I could not find a physical address for these Nazis. Just a PO Box in Iowa

Charity Navigator PO Box 4009. Harlan, IA 51593.

Shit connected to Iowa might be part of the nazi Dorr brothers? Burned books belonging to the Orange City library.

If somebody can find a physical address, maybe some protestors can surround them and call them out as the Nazi clowns they are.

PHYSICAL ADDRESS according to charity navigator site:

AMERICANACCOUNTABILITYFOUNDATION.COM
300 INDEPENDENCE AVE SE
WASHINGTON DC 20003-1021
202-495-0720
