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.

When you erase the history of the code talkers, you are erasing the history of the Second World War.

On the upside, he probably isn’t smart enough to do all this stuff himself, and his minions are not immune. Time to start arresting the minions.

They’ve been fed a steady diet of Fox News on posts for years. I doubt they will resist.

I think we need people who exist outside of the beautiful shiny people variety. People who will never be a member of the rich sexual predator club because they don’t fit the mold.

Why not run to replace them instead?

That seems like a real obsession of yours. Weird.

The racial profiling has begun in central CA. Picking up young people driving while brown, then not accepting their drivers licenses as ID. Not believing them when they say they belong to the local Native American rancheria.

Seems like we should be organizing ways to support and protect immigrants, pregnant women, trans kids and anyone else losing their civil rights. Although marches haven’t accomplished what we wanted, they could be a great way to network.

When Creek Fire burned, we had ash rain and sun blocked by smoke. Our schools could still play outdoor sports games because the air quality sensors said it was OK. Turns out that the particles were too big to fit in the sensors.

Or that’s what they wanted all along and now they can do it without resistance

Under the GOP's SAVE Act, Tribal IDs would NO LONGER be accepted as valid identification to register to vote.

This is a direct attack on the voting rights of Native American communities.

I’ve been weight bearing for 2.5 weeks, slowly walking farther each day. Today I annoyed a red-tailed hawk by walking under its acorn-filled telephone pole.

Curriculum is for the lessons. Libraries can be for much more, including learning to love reading. They are being defunded, books banned, and some have even been turned into detention rooms. No one is pushing sexual things on kids as part of lessons.

The libraries are under the same attacks. It isn’t part of a lesson, so she isn’t pushing it on anyone. Most of us who have classroom libraries have a wide variety, since different kids like different things.

Still rehabbing from knee surgery, so I’m not out on the trails. So here’s the view from my kitchen.

At the last race I did, a person giving out pickle juice started talking w/ me about the rattlesnakes we had come across on the trail. I showed him my ring I designed after having a rattlesnake pop up between my feet. He showed me the tattoo he got where the head of the snake is where he got bit.

Living in a rural area means the grocery store and gas station are pretty random. I can buy an air soft gun, fried chicken, and the local church-run newspaper at the gas station. Or I can get popcorn on the cob at the grocery store..

The whole purpose of this shirt is to stir people up. It’s a distraction in the classroom.

I think she should, but she would need some people willing to play dirty in her team. Also, she would need to quit trying to appeal to the right. Just like Morning Joe, that tactic just costs her base voters.
