Exactly. If they're going to be ugly ass racist, at least own what you say and do. Don't make up lies to cover it up. Own that shit with your full black, evil heart! I don't think I've hated anything as much as I hate Maga and Trump, and it's so exhausting, hating someone so much.

Thanks to NPR for bringing us this story. BUT it's a legitimate point that your writer said that the "website removed" the information. No website removed it. A human being made the choice to remove it (by coding). NPR is guilty of normal-washing Trump, covering for him.

White supremacists are not Americans. These bastards might live here, but that don't make them American. In fact, they stand for the opposite of everything America is about. They force their shit on us. When it comes, we need to put them on the elimination list... ..

PUT THE PART ABOUT THE BLATANT RACISM IN THE HEADLINE. We live in a world of 140 characters where virtually no one reads the article. It's your responsibility to write headlines that reflect the pure evil coming from this regime.

I’d put money on any mentions of the words: black, brown, diverse, African, inclusive, native, indigenous, trans, color, woman, and anything else that sounds “woke.”

I assume the process was: - target pages matching DEI keywords - prefix url with “dei” to group them alphabetically in the admin panel - unpublish page - system auto-generated redirect that wasn’t accounted for Are there other pages affected that show “dei” prefixed to them?

“Fuck it. Release them all.” that’s the thought process employed in every action they take. 'fuck it. Just do it. I don’t give a shit who I hurt or what happens. I’m good. Maybe we’ll fix it if we fuck it up. Maybe not. I don’t care.’

It is very disturbing to see this administration "cleaning up" federal agencies' websites. Rewriting the narratives and removing words you don't want to see is NOT free speech. Unfortunately it seems that this administration can do whatever it wants with no effective checks and balances. Disturbing.

We're supposed to be okay with the notion that the 'auto removal process' just picked African Americans out of the files and deleted them because anything involved Blacks was deemed DEI? And what about the Navajo code talkers that were deleted? How was that considered DEI?

So, yet another "mistake." It's almost as if the hacks ripping apart our government don't know, or care, about the actual damage they're causing and have no sense of responsibility to get things right. Even Musk just shrugs and says, "Mistakes will happen." Treasonous AND wrecklessly incompetent.

Interesting that every shady deed of this administration is an accident, oversight, computer error etc etc etc. This department of govt efficiency certainly has a lot of mishaps. One might think they are intentional. (but only if one had an ounce of intelligence)

The pattern seems to be if people notice and draw attention to shitty stuff like this, they backflip almost instantly. So really important that citizen surveillance continues 🫡

How is it we accept the lame excuses made by this rogue government whose sole purpose is making up lies upon lies. "Sorry, now that someone noticed, while we were randomly erasing the history of everyone who isn't a white male if you serfs get upset enough we can blame it on the software we wrote."

Unfortunately there doesn't seems to be anyway to denounce and push back using expected governmental processes - every review agency as well as AG's have been neutralized or removed. All of us citizens as well as the media denouncing feels like shouting at the wind = forced acceptance.

Websites don't remove things. People remove things from websites. Stop coddling fascists -- they're going to try and destroy you anyway (especially you, NPR). At least put up a fight ffs

Government by Stereotype. Prez Elon/Trump/MAGA were clear this is what they intend to do. I assume by the time they are finished, vigilante justice will norm. The bound weighted woman drown, so she must have been a witch.

Let's b clear that bonehead defense dude Hegseth is a CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER 2 THE MINORITIES WHO SERVED OUR COUNTRY N HONOR BCOZ IT'S ABOUT WHITE POWER OR THE KKK N CONTROL. TRUMP IS A FCKN FELON RACIST ALONG WITH HIS CABINET. THEY R ALL PINCHY GAVACHOS. YES I'M A MEXICAN BORN N AMERICA, SO WHAT?

As a veteran I am appalled. Not one person serving our nation either living or having sacrificed should have their story removed because of their race, gender, religion etc. I do know of some people whose story needs erasing…heel spurs.

It was intentional, & people rightfully called it out. It’s part of their 2025 playbook to rewrite history & erase the role of POC & women. This isn’t just racist and misogynistic, it’s sinister. They'll use AI to control the narrative, push America back to white male supremacy & keep it that way.

Kakistocracy in inaction These DOGE tools think their homeschooling and tech savvy are all they need. No critical thinking or social engagement, just malicious algorithms

We are NOT a racist or homophobic nation - only trump and Elon are This is why Trump is destroying our country and he will not last. We demand equality, freedom of choice, kindness, empathy, a clean environment, public schools that are safe, truth being taught and spoken 💙🇺🇸💙🌺
