  8. Why Is the Department of Labor Posting White Nationalist Propaganda?

    This weekend, the agency posted a phrase similar to one that appeared on Hitler propaganda posters.

  9. "The very AI tools that are adding to today’s employment problems are being used by the Trump administration to chip away at reality, one white-supremacy meme and one fascistic propaganda video at a time."

  10. "Only a few of the images explicitly say. But their purpose is explained in the accompanying captions: They’re promoting the department’s work on Project Firewall, meant to restore 'pathways to the American Dream by ensuring American Jobs go to American Workers.'"

  11. "It’s that these pictures, released by the Department of Labor social-media accounts and bearing the department’s seal, are uncomfortably reminiscent of posters from the 1930s. To be more specific: the ‘Heroic Realism’ of Nazi propaganda posters and the similarly stylized patriotic posters later produced in the United States.

    Why is this style being used now, and what are these images for?"

  12. "A social-media ad campaign from the Department of Labor is going viral for featuring a dozen or more images of young, blond, white men with strong jawlines and cleft chins, in blue-collared workmen’s shirts and jeans—such great jeans. ...

    It’s not the use of AI that’s giving everyone pause, of course."

  13. Named a loyalist to run the department

    When last month’s jobs report showed unexpected weakness in the labor market, President Trump fired the head of the agency that produces the data and named a loyalist to run the department that produces those numbers.

  17. "Thomas Shedd, the 28 year-old ex-Tesla engineer and DOGE official installed as the head of the federal government’s Technology Transformation Services, has quietly—and perhaps illegally—become the Chief Information Officer at the Department of Labor, too. Shedd is the official who made waves for announcing that DOGE would be implementing an “AI-first strategy” across the government as it orchestrated the firing of tens of thousands of federal workers. Now he’s in charge of the US labor department’s technology.

    “It’s probably illegal and it’s definitely terrible for both organizations,” a federal employee who works at one of them tells me.

    The move has alarming implications. For one thing, it appears to violate federal law dictating the number of positions an official can hold. More concerningly, it puts Shedd in a position to influence how the government administers federal labor law—laws enshrined to protect workers from wage theft, discrimination and wrongful termination—at a time when his agency is eliminating jobs en masse. And, not to mention sometimes doing so mistakenly and illegally, while rolling out dubious workplace AI and automation programs."
