2:39p	Gov't historical, DEI, material deleted The US air force deleted material about the Tuskegee airmen and acceptance of women as pilots. Why cover this up? To end the explicit policy of DEI does not by itself entail hushing up historic facts. To have a reason to delete those, the government would need to have a policy in favor of discrimination, exclusion and injustice. It would not surprise me if that's what the bully demands.

2:39p	Censorship at Washington Post Bezos, the owner of amazon.com, is imposing strict censorship of political opinions on the Washington Post. We can punish Bezos for this and other hostility to human rights by boycotting amazon.com, at the same time as we protect ourselves from the way the company's mistreatment described here .

2:39p	Budget bill US citizens: phone your congresscritter, whether perse Democrat or Republican, and call on per to vote against the Republican cut-the-poor budget bill. Call a Republican because it's their bill. Call a Democrat because there is a danger that some Democrats will yield to pressure to vote for it. Please make sure perse does not. People for the American Way reports: If Republicans get their way, this bill will: Delay Social Security checks for millions of seniors who rely on them to make ends meet. Reduce FEMA resources, leaving communities vulnerable in the face of natural disasters. Cut cancer research funding, putting lifesaving treatments on the chopping block. Make air travel less safe, cutting staff who ensure aviation safety. Slash $23 billion in veterans' benefits, betraying those who served our country by gutting healthcare and assistance programs. I did not make a link to their page because it suggests using a nonfree program. It is against my principles to legitimize that. I think the same bill would also attack Medicaid. (Comment on this)
2:39p	Urgent: Release Mahmoud Khalil now US citizens: phone your congresscritter and call on per to demand that the government release Mahmoud Khalil and then respect his human rights. If you phone, please spread the word! Main Switchboard: +1-202-224-3121 (Comment on this)
2:39p	Freedom of speech hit The wrecker's regime is directly attacking freedom of speech in the US, by deporting Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil who was a negotiator for the protest movement at Columbia University in 2024. Khalil is not a Columbia student nowadays because he has graduated since then, but he remains a lawful permanent resident of the US. And anyone in the US has the right of freedom of speech. When the wrecker claims the authority to arbitrarily jail any non-citizen for deportation, he is trying to abolish constitutional rights, not only in practice but in principle. The legal right to freedom of speech means that no official can arbitrarily decide which views to "tolerate", and repress other views. The article explains at length what US law actually says about "support for HAMAS" &mash; not that you should trust what the wrecker or his agents say about anyone's supposed "support for HAMAS", because they commonly stretch the law on that question. See what I recently posted about about how the US ought to determine whether an organization is terrorist or not. (Comment on this)
2:39p	Teacher training funding * Judge blocks [the wrecker's] plan to cut millions for teacher training.* (Comment on this)
2:39p	The gangster pushing Tesla The wrecker said that the boycott of Tesla is illegal. That is impossible, in the US legal system. But I don't know whether the real laws can prevail over the magat prosecutors' fake laws. (Comment on this)
