Quote:In some cases, photos seemed to be flagged for removal simply because their file included the word ”gay,” including service members with that last name and an image of the B-29 aircraft Enola Gay, which dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, during World War II.Incredible...
Quote:He noted that Hegseth has declared that “DEI is dead” and that efforts to put one group ahead of another through DEI programs erodes camaraderie and threatens mission execution.He could try doing something to combat sexual assault if he was serious about camaraderie. "Fairness is dead! Murica!"
Quote:In some cases, the removal was partial. The main page in a post titled “Women’s History Month: All-female crew supports warfighters” was removed. But at least one of the photos in that collection about an all-female C-17 crew could still be accessed. A shot from the Army Corps of Engineers titled “Engineering pioneer remembered during Black History Month” was deleted."And the hoooooooome of theeeeeeee braaaaaaaa- but not if you're a woman or minority -aaaaaaaaaave!" 🇺🇸
Other photos flagged in the database but still visible Thursday included images of the World War II Women Air Service Pilots and one of U.S. Air Force Col. Jeannie Leavitt, the country’s first female fighter pilot.

("If I don't laugh, I'll cry" moment.)
It is becoming increasingly obvious that "DEI" for them just stands for "anyone who isn't a straight white man." They want only straight white men to be praised and revered. Anyone else should be cast in the shadows. Any oppressed groups should not be recognized (because it makes straight white men feel bad 🥺 and might make them realize they were/are artificially propped up in society by their own actions as oppressors).

(Mar 7 2025, 11:48 AM)CloverThere’s a video from Mary Trump talking about how essentially everything trump does is to protect his ego. Fairly obvious assertion but it’s interesting from her perspective and definitely relates a bit to what you’re saying. https://youtu.be/aAzk1hp73J0?si=H9npa1IyB3DwbqkjQuote:In some cases, photos seemed to be flagged for removal simply because their file included the word ”gay,” including service members with that last name and an image of the B-29 aircraft Enola Gay, which dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, during World War II.lol, lmao even.
