The Reich wing freaks out when we want to take down a statue of literal traitors who fought in the Confederacy for slavery and cry about "erasing history" but this is ok to them because of the word "gay?"

... truly a group with shit for brains who allow propagandists to do the thinking for them.

They're also deleting any photos or records of any black or female service members they deleted mentions of the Tuskeegee Airmen. They are just removing any records of black folks in the military ever, and archivist have already said their methods are 100% destructive, they are only retaining screen caps of much of this information, so it's never going to be restored, just a very low res copy of often a single image out of entire galleries. They're getting shit for deleting Enola Gay records, fucking NOTHING about how they're deleting every fucking record of black service members. Sickening shit.

I guess maybe no-one's surprised they're erasing women and people of color, but people are surprised they're deleting Enola Gay. Still sickening, though, as you say.
