    I really enjoyed reading the Doris A. Paul book The Navajo Code Talkers, parts that have stuck with me:

    • They couldn’t swim very well during seals training so they walked across the bottom of the pool
    • Desert ranger training was a fucking joke to them
    • They actually preferred the older radio models because it could block bullets
    • They thought the white men would respect their service when they returned home. Sadly, that was far too optimistic, this was before even the civil rights movements after all.

    It’s in Anna’s Archive

    I can only hope that the pettiness of these actions, and the subsequent attention it is drawing to what small people the perpetrators are, does more to harm their racist agenda than it ever could to bolster it.

      I hope all this BS is just hiding content that can be restored easily when this dumbass is gone.

      Thanks to those who archive it though.

        Iirc there are people forming GitHub repos that the government uses with the goal of restoring them when a better candidate comes into office.

        But even that is not a guarantee
