Pete Hegseth ordered the cancellation of celebrations for Martin Luther King Jr. Day and removes Black History Month from any mention by the DoD.

And not just MLK Day and Black History Month. Women, Asians, Hispanics, and those with Disabilities were also thrown out.

you mean actually doing their job instead of just being a propaganda win for his reality fascist show.

How Christian of him.

scaredykathy48.bsky.social•33 days ago

What the hell? Hegseth lied about who he is. Yup. Now we know why Trump chose him.

hrryan.bsky.social•33 days ago

And there are other groups involved, such as women, who make up half the human race.

hrryan.bsky.social•33 days ago

Yeah, what is the MSM saying about this? I don't consume any TV anymore and precious little news from "print"/websites.

At this point they'll probably just say it's because he's Black.

Hey Hegseth Don't Fuck with General Milley.

They’ll just say they’ve never heard of it.

Arseholes Incorporated.

I saw a memo that cancelled all of the special emphasis months…women, Native American, Hispanic, mlk, disability, etc.

Roughly equal womanizer to Hegseth.

Hegseth dishonors America!

And will there still be Presidents Day and Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples day?

Come on, you know what's being deleted from that list.

That man is a monarchist. 🤴🏼🦞

I think we can imagine why he is trying to cancel MLK.

Now let’s imagine our way out from under these slaver Tories & enact our freedom.

We shall overcome.

They all already go after dreamers

If we had a free press they would be. MSM is too busy kissing the ring...

headasploding.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yes, but I think this is also a challenge for ordinary Americans to celebrate these holidays in a positive, uplifting way. Don't rely on outsourcing Black History Month celebrations to the government (especially one as shameful as our current one)! We can be leaders not just social media critics.

brettmonnard.bsky.social•33 days ago

To be fair, Grassley voted against the MLK holiday the first time, so at least he's consistent.

Every person of color and woman should leave. Then let’s see how what Hegseth thinks s out DEI.
