Summary
The Pentagon has removed web pages about Holocaust remembrance and other historical topics to comply with Trump’s order to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) content from federal government sites.
Taken-down pages include stories of Holocaust survivors and religious tolerance, as well as content about 9/11 and veterans’ issues.
The Defense Department used automated tools to identify and delete up to 24,000 pages.
Critics argue this erases significant historical narratives, while the Pentagon defends the move as necessary to end “Woke cultural Marxism.”
I have a hungry family. We need to eat. So I continue to go to my job and pretend this isn’t happening. The fuck else can I do? I am not going to stand up against them alone and be the first to throw my life away. Are you?
My therapist recently told me something that I think a lot of people need to hear: your biggest responsibility is to present the best version of yourself you can offer; if your best version can’t carry the weight of the world, it doesn’t help anyone to punish yourself.
Although, I’d like to append this with “but be ready to answer the call when you’re needed.”
