I'm sending this after dinner with your brother Smithson. It ran in the Asheville before we became conscious of the the extent of this outrage came out. Check this out.
The ignorance and meanness of Defense Secretary Hegseth and his minions is truly stunning. The page honoring the 442nd Regimental Combat
Team,the World War Two Japanese American unit mentioned above, has been partially restored after a public outcry.
For those who do not know their history, the 442nd, whose motto was “Go for Broke”, is the most highly decorated unit in the history of the
United States Army. In less than 3 years of combat in Europe, its soldiers were awarded 21 Medals of Honor. Among those soldiers was a young lieutenant
named Daniel K Inouye, who lost an arm in combat, but still went on to serve his home state of Hawaii as Governor, Congressman, and United States
I hope someone has a way to create a mirror site using archived webpages to recreate the tribute. I would donate to that effort.
I also hope someone will keep track of any companies that resegregate their facilities. I am on board to boycott those companies and their products. I am currently boycotting Target and Amazon and will participate in other boycotts.
I have downloaded the app "Goods Unite Us" and will make purchasing decisions using that knowledge. Unfortunately with so many companies bailing on DEI, it often comes down to the lesser of two (or more) evils.
I have cut way back on discretionary spending because as a retiree who knows how bad it will get?
But I am upping my donations (modest as they may be) to the local food bank and a crisis assistance group as well as supporting groups that help immigrants and unhoused youth. Here in the Bible Belt many of the these kids have been kicked out of their parents' house because they are LGBTQ and those sanctimonious b********ds think that God is telling them to do so. May they all rot in h*ll!
They even purged the posts about the Navajo Code Talkers and their contributions in Pacific during WWII. It's not just racism, as bad as that is, it's White Nationalism, aka American Nazis.

You correctly identified the intent of Trump's entire philosophy: he's a racist through and through to his core.
