LOOKING FOR NATIVES FOR UPCOMING PROJECT

For the sake of this specific project, I am looking for NATIVE AMERICAN volunteers. Specifically Natives from tribes/communities in the United States.

This is in response to the Trump administration's DEI purge of their military websites that honor the BIPOC and women in military history, including the Navajo Code Talkers, Ira Hayes, and all the non-white men and women at Arlington Cemetery.

If you are interested in being in my video please let me know.

Please send me a picture or a video of you holding a sign or saying aloud "MY _____ IS A VETERAN" or "I AM A VETERAN".

If you are not a veteran or don't have veterans/active military in your family, feel free to send pictures/videos of you saying "HONOR THE CODE TALKERS" I would really appreciate all of your help.

NASA appears to be the latest government website to purge its LGBTQ+ content amid Trump’s crackdown on DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) programmes, after several resources and blogs were taken down. Archives of NASA’s official government website sent to PinkNews revealed that several pages have either been modified or taken down completely to remove mentions of the LGBTQ+ community, Women’s History Month, Black History Month, or DEI initiatives. One page, formerly called the “Diversity at NASA” news section, has had its name changed to “special observations,” while several DEI resources appear to have been removed completely from its news list, including interviews with Black and female NASA employees.

ANNOUNCEMENT IF YOUR NIH FUNDING HAS BEEN PULLED

I don't usually do announcements but this one is very important!! If your NIH research funding has been pulled, and you are a member of APHA (American Public Health Association) or the UAW union (which covers a bunch of different schools), you may be able to get your research funding back. A judge issued an initial ruling that these funding cuts are illegal, but even if that's upheld in court, they may only take action on grants for association/union members who filled out this survey BY TOMORROW, JUNE 20:

I wish the best for all of you! I'm so sorry... it's been awful watching my friends lose the opportunity to do research like this, and I hope many of them are able to get that chance back.

Please like and rb to get this out! I have no idea how to reach people ;_;

Shameful to veterans

The Pentagon said Wednesday“rare cases”re cases" it may have deliberately or mistakenly removed some webpages in efforts to remove diversity, equity and inclusion content after a tribute to Jackie Robinson's Army service was suddenly scrubbed from a Department of Defense's website. A DOD official told ABC News that the Robinson webpage, among other content recently removed from Pentagon websites, was “mistakenly removed” due to the search terms used to scrub DEI terms from platforms. The official said Robinson's page and others that were unpublished, including content honoring the Tuskegee Airmen, the Enola Gay, the Navajo Code Talkers, history-making female fighter pilots and the Marines at Iwo Jima, would be republished. As of Wednesday afternoon, the webpage for Robinson, which was headlined “Sports Heroes Who Served: Baseball Great Jackie Robinson Was WWII Soldier,” had been restored and seemed to be identical to its original version, which included language noting the “racial abuse” he faced and that he was “the first Black person to serve as a vice president of a major U.S. corporation.”

You just know they just put in words like “black”, “Native American”, “woman”, etc etc, into a search engine.

Okay so we have this huge problem with forgetting about everything that’s happened by the time the next election rolls around so I’d like to keep a running list of things as they’re happening to help remind us when the 2026 midterms roll around. And please add to this if I’ve missed anything.

Roughly 400 Books Removed From Library at US Naval Academy, Where Officers of the US Navy and US Marine Corps Are Educated.

WASHINGTON -- Books on the Holocaust, histories of feminism, civil rights and racism, and Maya Angelou's famous autobiography, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," were among the nearly 400 volumes removed from the U.S. Naval Academy's library this week after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's office ordered the school to get rid of ones that promote diversity, equity and inclusion.

The Navy late Friday provided the list of 381 books that have been taken out of its library. The move marks another step in the Trump administration's far-reaching effort to purge so-called DEI content from federal agencies, including policies, programs, online and social media postings and curriculum at schools.

In addition to Angelou's award-winning tome, the list includes "Memorializing the Holocaust," which deals with Holocaust memorials; "Half American," about African Americans in World War II; "A Respectable Woman," about the public roles of African American women in 19th century New York; and "Pursuing Trayvon Martin," about the 2012 shooting of the Black 17-year-old in Florida that raised questions about racial profiling.

Other books clearly deal with subjects that have been stridently targeted by the Trump administration, including gender identity, sexuality and transgender issues. A wide array of books on race and gender were targeted, dealing with such topics as African American women poets, entertainers who wore blackface and the treatment of women in Islamic countries.

Also on the list were historical books on racism, the Ku Klux Klan and the treatment of women, gender and race in art and literature.

Mind-blowingly good video from Nick Wright on why DEI policy is good. I really feel like he is striking at the heart of this issue.
