Summary
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reversed a 1965 policy barring segregation in defense contractor facilities, contradicting his confirmation claims of not being racist.
He has prioritized eliminating DEI initiatives, canceling military observances like MLK Day and Holocaust remembrances, and purging nonwhite male leaders.
The Pentagon’s anti-DEI campaign mistakenly flagged Enola Gay bomber photos for deletion because of the word “gay.”
Critics link Hegseth’s actions to his far-right Christian nationalist beliefs and hiring of 26-year-old Kingsley Wilson, who promotes neo-Nazi theories, as deputy press secretary.
It’s just so absolutely, patently absurd. The plane that ran one of the most crucial attacks missions in World War 2 - literally, a strategic turning point, simultaneously ushering in an entirely new era of warfare - is being censored, because one of the words they used in the name of the plane is now considered verboten. Like, holy fucking christ, Hesgeth. Reach into your purse and find your fucking balls, you fucking cunt (apologies - I know he lacks both the depth and warmth).
Republicans are dumber than dogshit. On top of that, they’re traitors. It is unreal that fucking idiots voted for this garbage. Enjoy your egg prices, cunts. Check your 401Ks if you have them, cunts.
My 401k is down 3 grand, even after I’ve put in $1000 in just the last month. Fuck everyone who voted for this asshole.
I thought “gay” was also a semi common surname lol
I think POTUS unlocked a cheat code for avoiding military service! We’re gonna have loads of rich people with this first name soon!
/s
Okay I must admit, seeing “Major General Gay” - was pretty funny 😅
is this why we stopped making more biplanes ?
And forget about a new transcontinental railroad

See, this is why I don’t read the news.
What a f__k stick. How come Al green got censored but not this guy?
al green spoke against the hegemony. pete hegseth seeks to maintain it
The word in this context is “censured” 💗
What do you expect when they forget half the letters in the word ‘fuck’?
Yeah this was mean I’m sorry I’m just fucking annoyed at algorithmically induced self censorship today.
But saying F__k and S__t displeases G-d!
I joke.
im reporting you for not swearing
You can swear on lemmy.
Dropping nukes is woke now
You mean that gay plane that dropped that gay bomb and now everybody’s gay? Yeah, sure.

It looks like republicans are afraid of gay planes. Better hope they don’t swarm if you anger them.
It’s actually because he’s against nuclear proliferation.
