Last week offered a sobering reminder of how Hegseth's bigotry blitz isn't just symbolic, but will harm real people. The Defense Department reversed a 1965 policy that bars defense contractors from using segregation at their facilities.

In Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s quest to nix all diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) content, some photos on the department’s website and online posts appear to be marked for deletion just because they include the word “gay”—regardless of what the context is.

Thousands of military images online either have been or are set to be removed following Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's order to remove content showcasing diversity efforts within the military, including images of B-29 bomber Enola Gay due to having the word 'gay' in it.
