This is Debra Chew

You've probably never heard of Debra Chew

Nobody elected Debra Chew

But she is responsible for more DEI policy in the U.S. government than any other bureaucrat. What she does is called "Policy Entrepreneurship," and it's how activists subvert democrcy🧵 Image
2/
This letter from at the time Director Francis Collins outlines the extent the which Chew was able to build a huge apparatus of DEI withing the National Institutes of Health.

The sheer volume of DEI infrastructure she created has to be seen to be believed👇 Image
3/
-Debra championed a change to the NIH mission statement
-she led the effort to re-engineer the former NIH Office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity Management.
-Through her advocacy for the Sexual and Gender Minority (SGM) population at the NIH, Debra launched a Safe Zone Training (a form of safe space training)
-. She also led the trans-NIH committee effort to standardize workforce categories for diversity. Beyond NIH
-Debra launched a new, centralized Reasonable Accommodation Program for the NIH
-Debra’s team drafted and finalized NIH Reasonable Accommodation procedures,
-She recruited a team of Accessibility Consultants were to provide technical guidance.

All of this was done in the service of EDI programming at the NIH
4/
But it gets worse, because Debra left the NIH, and when over to the Federal Housing Finance Agency where she has been building the Division of Inclusivity, Culture, and Equity.

In doing so she brough with her Treava Hopkins-Laboy and Erin Foxworth, from the NIH Image
5/
As I pointed out yesterday, the NIH has been entirely captured by DEI and woke activists. They operate at every lever, and Debra Chew is a huge reason why. Now that NIH is captured, she is doing the same policy making over at FHFA
6/
This process, of getting into institutions and then creating new policy and advocating for policy changes is called "Policy Entrepreneurship."

Policy Entrepreneurship is when the civil service membership attempts to make and implement policy of their own accord.
7/
Sometimes this is good. For example, Radon Gas (which gets into houses through basements) causes more cancer than smoking, so governments have policy dealing with it. Since most average people don't know about Radon gas, almost all radon gas policy starts in the bureaucracy.
8/
Usually such regulations are part of the building code.

This is an example of policy entrepreneurship: it's the civil service taking initiative to stop a problem most people don't know about.

The problem is that this exact same process is open to abuse by activists.
9/
Activists can get into the bureaucracy and government agencies and then, rather then doing policy entrepreneurship to solve the problems the agency was created to solve, they instead to policy entrepreneurship to advance their ideology and political agenda.
10/
When this happens, government agencies stop being institutional servants of the people, and instead become vehicles that advance the political goals and agenda of the unelected policy entrepreneurs that have taken over those institutions.

This is the subversion of democracy.
11/
When institutions cease to be servants of the people through accountibility to elected officials, we end up with an administrative apparatus that has the power to regulate the lives of people according to the political agenda of unelected bureaucrats.

It's already happening.
12/
We are seeing the fruit of this in California, where regulators are blocking @elonmusk from launching rockets because they do not like his politics.

They're using their control of the policy to stop him from succeeding.

This is policy entrepreneurship that's gone haywire Image
13/
The sheer volume of DEI initiatives, requirements, and policies that were put into place by Debra Chew is incredible. I have never seen anyone else be so effective in policy entrepreneurship.

She ised DEI policy to transform the entire NIH. It's stunning.
14/
The problem is the American people don't like DEI, but they have have no way to stop people lile Debra Chew from implementing DEI anyway

If we want to put an end to this, we need to find a way to reign in the abusive and undemocratic forms of Policy Entrepreneurship.

The National Institutes of Health is racially segregating employee communications.

This article, "A Note For Employees of Color," is about 'code switching' and "creating a psychologically safe space" for people of color.

The NIH is captured by DEI administrators,

A Thread🧵 Image

The article is written by Kiana Atkins, the Principle Strategist for the Black Employment Portfolio, and Patricia Sauceda Kramer who is that Principle Hispanic Portfolio Employment Strategist.

These DEI administrators write employee communications for people based on race. Image

This sort of Critical Social Justice/woke oriented DEI writing is all over the place at the NIH.

Zulekha Sayyed, Program Analyst at the National Cancer Institute, who contributed to the NIH a blog post about her experience with "microagressions."

This is official NIH work Image

I can actually explain this:

Male physical intervention into conflict escalates the conflict. The man she refers to was being rude and such, if a man intervenes to stop him, the subway harasser likely becomes *violent*

These women do not understand what that means....Image
Image
2/
There is no "margine for error." Almost nobody (save for pro UFC fighters) has the strength, power, and skill set to easily subdue someone. A man who becomes criminally violent will often not stop until he is stopped by being knocked unconscious or severely wounded. And...
3/
The man who tries to stop a violent criminal may be killed if he doesn't use enough force and is overpowered by the criminal

And the gap between "getting killed because you didn't use enough force to stop the criminial" and "using so much force the criminal dies" is small...

There's a huge story behind @realchrisrufo's plagiarism investigations people have missed:

The integrity of America's elite institutions has been destroyed by fraud, lying, low standards, and political corruption.

It's just like the 2007 housing market.

I'll explain🧵 Image
2/
To understand what's happening today we need to understand how the 2007 housing crisis happened.
Once we do that I'll show you how what's going on in America's elite institutions today perfectly mirrors what happened in the housing market during 2007

Let's begin

To begin, we need to know what a Mortgage-Backed Security (MBS) is.

The bank take mortgages from different markets, packages them together, and then sell them. The buyer makes money collecting the mortgage payments the bank makes a profit selling mortgages.

That's the idea

A common move used by "Critical Social Justice" (woke) activists is that hide their views behind superfluous complexity.

This tactic is deployed in 2 ways. The first way it to ask bring up minute and irrelevant details, then dismiss anyone who doesn't know them as "ignorant"
2/
You see this in debates about gender where an activist will claim that if you cannot describe all of the biological mechanisms related to DNA, Chromosomes, and the devlopment of sex characteristics, you don't know what a woman is.

This is nonsense.
3/
I don't need to understand the intricacies of DNA to know what a woman is just lile I don't need to understand the detailed engineering principles at work in the construction of internal combustion engines to know what a car is.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture says land management, greenspace, and Science are corrupted by Structural Racism, and the solution is (of course) *DEI*

Understanding what the woke mean by Structural Racism is key to decoding woke ideology

So, Structural Racism

A Thread🧵Image

2/
The woke have a different idea of what racism is than most people

Most people think racism is "prejudice against a person or group because of their race," and thus racism is a matter of peoples' conscious attitudes and beliefs.

This is *NOT* how the woke think about racism
3/
What the woke care most about is who gets to have power in society, and whose interests that power serves.

As such the woke typically use 2 definitions of racism:

1. Racism = prejudice + Power
2. Racism = Privilege + Power

Note: you can only be "racist" if you have *power*

Gender Ideology is taking over your Churches, and it's worse than you think

This pastor and his wife say gender transition is "choose your own adventure" and discuss blocking their son's puberty and giving him estrogen

So, let's talk about Gender Ideology and the Church

A🧵
2/
The average Christian does not realize how bad things are.

Activists pushing Gender Ideology are brining it into Christian services (video 1), Christian leadership and Clergy (pic 2) and into the seminaries that train your pastors (pic 3)

It's everywhere in Christian circles
Image

3/
As former "trans-kid" Chloe Cole explains here, the entire youth culture is soaked ing Gender ideology. It's in music, T.V. video games, and in Schools.

Going to church and sending the kids to Bible camp won't protect your kids from the influence of Gender Ideology.
