Amid β€˜DEI’ purge, Pentagon removes webpage on Iwo Jima flag-raiser Pages celebrating Navajo code talkers and other minority service members were also erased.

You can’t make this up. The Trump admin is erasing images of one of the servicemembers who raised the flag at Iwo Jima.

What an outrageous act of disrespect to one of America’s heroes. His name is Pfc. Ira Hayes, and he deserves to be honored.

This is a coup! U.S. Institute for Peace called the DC police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the DC police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.

We do not know who these deportees are, why deported, if they have criminal histories. Tattoos aren’t evidence of a crime. Trump says they’re all criminals but without due process we simply do not know. Based on Trump’s illegal deportations of others, I believe he’s lying #Voices4Victory #Fascism

It’s unreal - the DOD deleted its page for Charles Calvin Rodgers, a Medal of Honor recipient who was wounded three times while defending against three assaults on his base in Vietnam. Now the URL includes β€œDEI Medal of Honor.” There’s something about Rodgers I don’t even have to tell you

Trump White House has asked U.S. military to develop options for the Panama Canal, officials say Potential plans range from partnering more closely with Panamanian security forces to a less likely option of U.S. troops seizing the canal by force, U.S. officials told NBC News.

"The White House has directed the military to draw up options for increasing the US troop presence in Panama to achieve Trump’s goal of 'reclaiming' the Panama Canal"

And *yes*, this does include:

the "option of U.S. troops seizing the Panama Canal by force"

This. Shout this from the rooftops. Add in the propaganda that tricks voters into thinking this is the American way and you’ve got the MAGA playbook.

The House just voted that β€œeach day for the remainder of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day for purposes of section 202 of the National Emergencies Act.” A day is not a day. Lewis Carroll, George Orwell, and Franz Kafka must all be chuckling β€” or weeping.

The co-president says speaking against Putin’s interests is akin to treason.

This affidavit, filed by a former Social Security employee in one of the DOGE cases, reveals a shocking exposure of personal info to DOGE operatives & possible compromise of parts of the system. Everyone should read this. Start at para 9. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:

At 5 pm Fri, the Social Security Admin announced that it will withhold the *entire* Social Security benefits of overpaid seniors & people w/disabilities, even if not their faultβ€”reversing a Biden-era reform that limited repayment to 10% of the monthly benefit.

This will cause needless suffering.

Felonius’ EO targeting the law firm Perkins Coie

Felonius’ EO targeting the law firm Perkins Coie

An Executive Order targeting a particular law firm?

Because they represented Hillary Clinton at one time?

Yep, we live in the dumbest timeline possible.

The Iowa GOP advanced a bill making it a misdemeanor for a healthcare provider to administer a Covid vaccine.

Even when a person has requested a Covid vaccine.

Will you find some peace today? In chaos, take moments for your brain to recover. Breathe and refocus. It is so hard to see the good right now, but it's still out there, waiting to be found. If you can't find it, be it. πŸ’œ
