This is crazy. They are crazy. I am very worried about what happens when they finish ruining web sites and realize that the libraries in this country still have all this information available.

That's when the rest of us will realize that we are living in the Fahrenheit 451 universe.
My spouse applied for an FOID card yesterday.

They were on a white washing tear, but got pushback from the Pentagon and others and a lot, if not all of it, has been restored.
Military Times
The Defense Department removed articles about Navajo Code Talkers from its websites amid an ongoing campaign to rid the military of diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
Many links that previously took viewers to informational articles about the Native American service members who used their native language as an indecipherable code to help win World War I and II were no longer accessible as of Tuesday afternoon. A Pentagon spokesperson said the department was working to rectify the situation.

Materials on the Arlington National Cemetery website highlighting the graves of Black and female service members have vanished as the Trump administration purges government websites of references to diversity and inclusion.
Among the obscured pages are cemetery guides focused on Black soldiers, women’s military service and Civil War veterans. Some of the materials were still online Friday, but they were no longer easily accessible through the cemetery’s website.
A part of the site devoted to segregation and civil rights was largely scrubbed. That section once included a walking tour focused on Black soldiers and a lesson plan on reconstruction.
The cemetery, which is operated by the Army, said in a statement on Friday that it remained committed to “sharing the stories of military service and sacrifice to the nation with transparency and professionalism” and that it was working to restore links to the content.
...When questioned Monday about the removals of some pages honoring

Take it all down, and only put back the stuff that makes it to the headlines. When questioned later, you can point to what was restored for plausible deniability. See, we aren't racist! (Parts of) it is still there! Some of our best soldiers, etc....

Next step is to exhume the Women and the Black Veterans from Arlington.
