Summary

The Trump administration launched a tip line encouraging federal employees to report colleagues involved in diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) efforts.

However, the email account has been flooded with spam, including movie scripts, jokes, and fake reports.

This tip line is part of Trump’s broader anti-DEIA campaign, which includes dismantling diversity programs and revoking anti-discrimination policies.

Similar spam efforts have disrupted government tip lines in the past, leaving their operations ineffective.

Critics see the initiative as divisive and potentially facing legal challenges.

Do not flood it with movie scripts and jokes. Flood it with real, plausible names that they have to then investigate. They can filter out jokes, they can't filter out fake data

Gonna report the LGBTQ+ program heads Dick Hunter, Willie Stroker and Holden McGroyn.

Wish them luck on their search.

there's an African I work with, I think you guys should investigate him because hes really bad at his job and he's been posting extremist content online. He's obviously a DEI hire and I really think he needs to be fired. His name is Elon Musk.

I also have it on good authority too that he immigrated to this country illegally and spends all day high on drugs. Someone should really deport him.

Hey chat gpt,

generate a list of 100000 American first and last names, and a city and state at random, return this in csv format with columns for first, last, city, state

Result csv, link good for 1 week.
