The great erasure continues, and it’s looking more and more like an attempt to rewrite erase factual history. A snippet from the report at CNN (emphasis added):
At least half a dozen articles already removed are about the Holocaust and now have the word “DEI” in their URL.
Those include an article about Holocaust survivor Kitty Saks, which remembers the Holocaust as “the state-sponsored, systemic persecution and annihilation of European Jewry”; an article about Holocaust Remembrance Week; and an article titled “A Cadet’s Perspective: Holocaust Days of Remembrance.”

Market Farces, Reprise 0

Lies and Lying Liars 0
David dissects Elon Musk’s lies, at least, the ones he told in this interview. (Warning: Short promo at the end.)
Afterthought:
The sad–and frightening–thing is, I think Musk believes his lies, because he wants them to be truths, just as some persons believe the Confederacy was a noble cause and slaveholders were indeed the “Southern gentlemen” they fancied themselves to be.

The Fifth Columnist, Reprise 0
Mary Trump, niece of Donald Trump and holder of a doctorate in clinical psychology, minces no words in discussing how Donald Trump and his Trumpettes treated President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine.

Congressional Republicans are designing a poke for their pig.
Much more at the link.
Vaccine Nation 0
In an article at the Washington Monthly, Bill Scher admits that he is less than sanguine about the Republican Party’s decision to abandon medical science. Here’s a tiny bit of his article (emphasis added):
Fears that the Kennedy appointment will lead to dire public health consequences ratcheted up this week with the abrupt cancellation of an annual Food and Drug Administration meeting necessary to select strains for the next flu season vaccine.
Sabotaging the flu vaccine will kill people.
