The Pentagon deleted webpages on the Holocaust, on Medal of Honor recipient SGT Henry Johnson, and on Jackie Robinson.
Now they’re banning books on the Holocaust, Maya Angelou’s autobiography, and American history.
It’s despicable.

Some of you thought I made a mathematical error in my PROOF report on the new international slave trade Donald Trump and Nayib Bukele have agreed upon.
I didn’t.
Both The Conversation and FT report that U.S. inmates—a majority with no criminal record—will have “less than two feet of living space.”

dismissed class early so I wouldn't miss Booker breaking Thurmond's record in real time. (As a person who grew up in and whose family is from SC, this one's personal for me. Thurmond was in office when my grandparents were in college AND when my ass was in college)

Already there have been government workers "just doing their jobs" removing Black people, LGBTQ people and women from websites, memorials and other spaces of public memory.
Where are the stories of people refusing to hit the "delete" button?
Not enough. What's to stop people from doing worse?

I don’t disagree, I would say everyone who can stand up should stand up. This is very much an us vs them. They are purging POC from jobs and trying to erase them from history. This is only going to get worse. They are brazen and ignore the laws.
