Morning Bluesky.
Seymour Johnson Air Force Base has removed articles about the first female Thunderbird pilot, Col Nicole Malachowski, because of Trumpβs anti-DEI policies.
βOne of the top MS-13 membersβ?
This woman is an officer of the court and the Attorney General of the United States.
She knows that she wields immense power and responsibility.
Yet here she is on national TV, making baseless claims about a guy her boss wrongly sent to a gulag in El Salvador.
Oh.

The Violence Against Women Act has been there for survivors for more than 30 years.
Negating the hard-fought progress of three decades is flat out wrong and cruel.
It certainly looks like Elon Muskβs henchmen stole all the data from the agency which protects workers rights, tried to cover it up, and then threatened to kill the guy who blew the whistle on it.
