Horrible

Trump is laughing saying “see I told you the liberals wouldn’t do a damn thing but cry on Bluesky” everyday he will get more deplorable until he literally shoots people in the street he doesn’t like and his MAGA idiots will cheer him on.

More than 44,000 Native Americans served throughout the U.S. military between 1941 and 1945 represent more than ten percent of the American Indian population at that time
A third of Native men between the ages of 18 and 50 served. Some tribes had as high as 70 percent participation in the war effort

The DoD will erase all mention of WWII since discussing defeating Nazis and fascists is like attacking Trump.

They really can't make it any more clear that they are fucking racist assholes

noonehereitsjustme.bsky.social•17 days ago

Those people elected a man too scared to fight for your country who is so ego-ridden that he can't stand seeing people with a better tan than his get credit for doing the things he was too afraid to do! Think about that! Patriot liars! Please stop showing your flags. It's all lies!

Nothing can take away their story. Certainly not that mingin spewin orange waister. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0245562/

tjluvspets.bsky.social•17 days ago

It takes a particularly small and petty man to commit such a crime against heroes simply because they are neither orange-faced nor white.

miniraawr.bsky.social•17 days ago

I suppose the code talkers would be a blemish on their neo Nazi agenda...

Anyway,+- the military knows how to take care of its own.

Everyday something else to be shocked about. How many other atrocious things going on unnoticed as well …..

jungledoc.bsky.social•17 days ago

Such a great piece. The Codetalkers are heroes.

Thank you so much. It was something I had to write.

What does this idiotic administration think they are going to accomplish when history is written on countless books and websites? Other than being blatantly racist.

Got to meet a code talker in Old Town Albuquerque NM.

mrpsmith.bsky.social•17 days ago

Without the code talkers, Bone Spurs et al. might be speaking Nazi... oh, wait. Fuck.

thearmoredass.bsky.social•17 days ago

33 tribes contributed Code Talkers in WWII. Each tribe used its native tongue. None of their codes were broken.

Coed Talkers from the Hopi and Navajo served in the Pacific. The Hope were US Army. The Navajo were Marine.

The other 31 were in Europe with the Army.

Sry John I've been following you but this is the first time I've actually stalked your time line ✌🏼🤣

Trump will never know courage and honor like this. Imagine growing up knowing the country you live in treated your people so badly that your ancestors lost everything they held sacred and dear. Then when that nation called you were able to set all that aside for the greater good of the world

fusciacat.bsky.social•17 days ago

This saddens me so much. You can’t erase true history. These were truly significant heroes.

Shameful, sickening

nickcyclingchemist.bsky.social•17 days ago

Am I the only one, or shouldn’t all of the American heroes be celebrated equally?! This country is great because of the sacrifices of ALL PEOPLES!

crashcorse.bsky.social•17 days ago

Being, as many Americans profess, at least part Native American, the code talkers should never be forgotten! Neither should the Tuskeegee airmen, nor the 442nd. That said, the things tRump and mUsk are doing are mere distractions from what their handlers are doing behind the scenes.

jessicahess.bsky.social•17 days ago

Trump dishonored them last time he was in office, bringing up the Pocahontas beef he had with Elizabeth Warren. These amazing men deserve so much more honor and respect than what this administration has given them.

standup2fascism.bsky.social•17 days ago

Everything these bastards do, we will put back when they are gone. What we cannot do is to forget what these fascists did to our country.

Thanks for being on the Tesla takedown call tonight, John. Your words definitely resonated.

terryintransit.bsky.social•17 days ago

Great to see you on the #teslatakedown call. Thanks for all your work!

samota.bsky.social•17 days ago

Good news. Navajo President, family members and public pushback worked. Website reinstated.

That is wonderful news. Congratulations.

Let me add that the Internet Archive has been preserving govt. sites since 04 through the "End of Term", web archive. They have over 500 Terabytes set aside for 2024, so nothing has been lost.

I'm not them, they have my stuff. Keep up the good fight.

livingstonfan.bsky.social•17 days ago

And when the Code Talkers traveled to the White House in Trump’s earlier “presidency,” no doubt at some physical cost to their elderly bodies, he disrespected them with his stupid Pocahontas insult regarding Senator Elizabeth Warren. He is loathesome.

Proof that it's not about DEI...

Makes me weep.

rmarg.bsky.social•17 days ago

My father served in WWII and I recall taking him to an event honoring the code talkers. They were an important part of our history and deserve remembrance and commemoration.

clint710.bsky.social•17 days ago

Everything this regime touches turns to disgust~

incandenzak.bsky.social•17 days ago

Are we going to try to stop this

incandenzak.bsky.social•17 days ago

Yet it keeps going

annsuthard.bsky.social•17 days ago

What the hell is wrong with this regime? Oh wait. I know. They are racist bigots.
