MAGA - Morons Are Governing America.

Ignorance is not bliss, it is ignorance.

It seems his masculinity is somehow threatened by this literature.

Coward.

Banning books on the Holocaust=denying it ever happened. He is a Nazi.

jmax7.bsky.social•8 days ago

How does that work exactly? Did SecDef provide a list of books? Did he examine the library catalog for certain books? Can anyone get the list?

What they intend to do, for those who haven’t figured it out, is turn the esteemed military academies into MAGA training grounds.

He is a disgusting human.

Grotesque. What are they afraid of, really!

According to Trumpworld, the students and faculty are such weaklings that they have to be protected from any literature or history other than that from the far right. Where is the Rumpian version of the Little Red Book? Wait. Maybe some of Trump's own books even if he didn't write a word of any?

If you serve the country the Regime will white wash history for your kids.

We are Borg. You will be assimilated.

Well, Pete Hegseth is tattooed as a white nationalist. This is the biggest agenda of Trump and co.: erase history, erase people of color, purge anyone who is the “other”

One would think he had more pressing things to do.

"Our warfighter are the toughest sons of bitches in the world! Enemies will tremble with fear when they see us coming! That is why our soldiers must be protected from these pernicious ideas that any non straight white man ever contributed anything to our country."

Another attempt to convert our diverse country into a white, male MAGA world.........I for one, will not tolerate that transition and will protest and stand firm!! FDT

A nation that bans books will fail. A banned book is a book worth reading.
