How 'bout you?

Attempts at rewriting history bother you?

Mean, petty, childish but dangerous.

Find them to be vile and disgusting?

And scary?

The Revenge Tour has only just begun.

"After a recent change by the Trump administration, the federal government no longer explicitly prohibits contractors from having segregated restaurants, waiting rooms and drinking fountains.


The segregation clause is one of several identified in a public memo issued by the General Services Administration last month, affecting all civil federal agencies. The memo explains that it is making changes prompted by President Trump's executive order on diversity, equity and inclusion, which repealed an executive order signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965 regarding federal contractors and nondiscrimination. The memo also addresses Trump's executive order on gender identity."

Removal of Colin Powell and all other Black service members names from the Pentagon website, and from the Arlington National Cemetery list of those interred.


Confirmation:   https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/arlington-national-cemetery-veterans/ Black service members names from the Pentagon website Using archive.org's Wayback Machine, a website that archives pages from across the web, we verified the removal of links that Task & Purpose reported. The removed links included three pages from the "Notable Graves" section, six education "themes," two pages from the "History of Arlington National Cemetery" subsection and one page from the website's "Explore" tab. Therefore, we rate this claim true.

According to Task & Purpose, cemetery officials confirmed that they "unpublished" the pages in question in compliance with a Trump administration executive order on diversity, equity and inclusion and a resulting directive from U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth "targeting race and gender-related language and policies in the military."
