A recently leaked list of pages marked for deletion on military websites includes…the #EnolaGay, …the B-29 bomber that nuked Hiroshima.
Oblivion menaces every scrap of #information that doesn’t spark joy in the Oval Office. “It’s gone,” #Trump said of “wokeness,” during his address to Congress, in almost motherly tones. “And we feel so much better for it, don’t we? Don’t we feel better?” But on this front, at least, Trump is facing well-organized resistance.
By now you have all read about what is going on w/ #Trump’s #Defense Dept’s anti-#DEI initiative, in which nefarious policies are birthing hilarious results. Namely, as the Associated Press reported last week, somebody at the #Pentagon produced a database flagging images depicting #diversity, #equity & #inclusion. And some dutiful search-&-replace function suggested that #military websites should jettison images of the #EnolaGay. Because, Enola “Gay.”

Don’t say (Enola) Gay
The #Trump admini’s #DEI purge has gotten truly #weird.
In the late 1930s, a young man named Paul Tibbets decided he wanted to fly airplanes for the US Army, which his…father disapproved of but his mother encouraged—“Paul, if you want to go fly airplanes, you’re going to be all right,”…& yrs later, when he piloted the drop of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima that ushered in the horrible end of WWII, he did so in a plane he named after his…mom: #EnolaGay.

@BrianJopek At least his name isn't #EnolaGay
Selbstverständlich, #EnolaGay war der Bomber, mit dem der "Little Boy" über Hiroshima abgeworfen wurde.

« #RachelMaddow shared #AP reporting on a list of forbidden material that the #DepartmentOfDefence under #DonaldTrump intends to delete in furtherance of eliminating #DiversityAndInclusion in the federal government...not taking into consideration that banning the word "gay" would also result in eliminating the history of the #EnolaGay »
I wouldn't name a bomber after my mother, especially one dropping a nuclear bomb on people, it's like "thanks Son?" 
If the #FascistUSA is banning pictures of the aircraft that made warfare even more horrific ( #EnolaGay ) just because of one word, does that mean that Drag Racing will be banned, too?
Don't say gay in Trump's America — even if you're just referring to the name of a plane. @AssociatedPress reports on how the Defense Department is purging diversity, equity and inclusion content from its website. So far, 26,000 images have been marked for deletion including a photo of the Enola Gay (the plane that dropped an atomic bomb on Japan) and a picture of a group of engineers, one of whom had the last name Gay.
'Bonkers': Hegseth ridiculed as Enola Gay photos swept up in DEI purge over word 'gay'
if you choose clowns then you get a circus.
how much longer can American citizens continue to watch this degrading spectacle? A once great nation becomes the laughing stock of the world.
We Queers have noticed the way the American government is literally erasing us from society and nobody is Power is giving a single fuck about us.
Are the Dems going to hold up props to remind America we exist or is Gavin Newsome stopping all that because Queers cost the Dems the election, according to him?
The thing is, we always knew Power would look away when it mattered, we've always been alone, never a part of your societies.
USA is just removing its history willy nilly pictures of Enola Gay are slated for removal since it so DEI to have "GAY" in there.
