This is what they do. They erase.
Arlington National Cemetery has scrubbed information about prominent Black, Hispanic and female service members and topics such as the Civil War from its website, part of an effort across the Defense Department to remove all references to diversity, equity and inclusion from its online presence.

Seattle pals take a moment, be brave, and call Senator Patty Murray's office 206-553-5545 - Seattle, WA, and tell the aide you are "outraged and disgusted over Elon's unlawful and undemocratic takeover of the federal government, and the Senate Dems should refuse to cooperate with DOGE/Trump period"🙏

I did this last week. It’s easy and very illuminating. Highly recommend. Ssa.gov
If you haven't yet, make an account with Social Security dot gov. See how much you've paid into SS over your lifetime. It's YOUR money that you've loaned to the government until your retirement. It's not a fucking "entitlement" beyond the fact that only YOU are entitled to it. Elon Musk is not.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out.
Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal.
Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home.
That.

Incredible news!
