Military to remove 'Enola Gay' photos for violating DEI rules (www.newsweek.com)

Images of "Enola Gay," the aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima in Japan are among those targeted by the U.S. military in an initiative to eliminate content related to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).

They are among a number of photos unrelated to DEI that have been mistakenly flagged, including those from an Army Corps of Engineers dredging project in California, seemingly because an engineer in the image had the last name "Gay."

I think there are multiple lawsuits going around targeting various shit the current admin is doing. They even got some preliminary injunctions stopping or cancelling a lot of it (e.g. mass layoffs). However, remember that the final instance is SCOTUS which currently has 3 conservatives, 2 fascists-lite and 4 fascists PRO MAX, and they have already given their fuhrer carte blanche to do any illegal shit without personal consequence, so the odds are not good.
