Nonilex<p>A recently leaked list of pages marked for deletion on military websites includes…the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/EnolaGay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EnolaGay</span></a>, …the B-29 bomber that nuked Hiroshima.</p><p>Oblivion menaces every scrap of <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/information" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>information</span></a> that doesn’t spark joy in the Oval Office. “It’s gone,” <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> said of “wokeness,” during his address to Congress, in almost motherly tones. “And we feel so much better for it, don’t we? Don’t we feel better?” But on this front, at least, Trump is facing well-organized resistance.</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/DigitalBookBurning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalBookBurning</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/TrumpPurge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpPurge</span></a></p>
Nonilex<p>Racing to comply w/ <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a>’s executive orders banning “DEI” & “gender ideology extremism,” agencies have cut materials on everything from supporting transgender youth in school to teaching children about sickle-cell disease, which disproportionately affects people of African descent. But they have also axed records having little to do w/the Admin’s ideological priorities, seemingly assisted by AI tools that flag forbidden words w/o regard to context.</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/DigitalBookBurning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalBookBurning</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/TrumpPurge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpPurge</span></a></p>
