The Trump administration’s war on woke has reached the Pentagon, with pictures of black service men and women being removed from its official website and, even more bizarrely, a picture of the Enola Gay, the B-29 Superfortress that dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima.
Its removal has little to do with sensitivities around the machine that killed an estimated 70,000 people in one go and much more to do with the fact that it has the word ‘gay’ written on it. Service personnel with that last name are also part of a database of 26,000 pictures that are marked to be deleted.
A photo of Army Corps biologists was on the list, apparently because it mentioned they were recording data about fish, including their weight, size, hatchery and gender.
'Would you guys knock it off?' - ex-official on 'crazy' DEI purge
Speaking on CNN, Van Jones, former Obama administration official, said: “It's terrible. The thing is, and I don't even think we should use their language. Their language is, oh, we're doing it because of DEI. No, you are removing black people, gay people and women from America's government's websites. That's wrong. That's wrong. In what world is that appropriate? If we said, after Obama got in, we're gonna take down all the pictures of the white boys. People would say, Are you crazy? Are you smoking something? That's terrible. It's anti American.
Delivering Consistent HR Services for Deskless Workers
Can HR truly reach every employee — whether office-based, hybrid or deskless?
Deskless workers represent ~80% of the global workforce, yet most HR systems were designed for desk-based employees.

Based on research conducted by Neocase with clients and stakeholders in the industrial sector, it highlights practical insights on:
Why deskless environments reveal structural gaps in HR service delivery
Why multichannel HR requires governance, not just more channels
How mobile-first access can transform frontline HR interactions
What you will learn from this eBook:
How to reach employees without desk access
How to structure HR service delivery across sites
How to reduce HR workload from employee requests
Real examples from large organizations
“So if you can say anything is anti woke, anti Dei, anti whatever you want to but if the end result is people are being erased because of the color of their skin, that is racist, it is wrong. And I would expect Republicans to stand up and say, Would you guys knock it off? We want high standards. We don't want history erased. We don't want people removed just because they're black or female or brown. That's wrong.”
Most of the Pentagon purge targets women and minorities, including notable milestones made in the military. And it also removes a large number of posts that mention various commemorative months, such as those for Black and Hispanic people and women.
What DEI really means?
“It's an insult to people's intelligence,” said Nina Turner, former Ohio State Sentor. “Think past the buzzwords on this. They can't even pass an audit. I mean, seven audits, the Pentagon, the Pentagon cannot pass an audit. Those are the things they should be focused on. And DEI is just a sub for the N word. It's just another word for Black. They are taking this country backwards to a time where the history of black people was not told, and other people too. And so we got to reckon with this president.
“Trump ran to be the president, as all presidents do, of all people. Let me just center black people right now. He enjoyed a larger share of the black vote than Republicans usually get. I'm old enough to remember during Black History Month, he was there celebrating black history. And then, on his watch, he allows people to run roughshod and use DEI in a way that is debilitating, that is dehumanizing, that is wrong, and he should put a stop to it, and stop listening to the people telling him that that some something is wrong with diversity, equity and inclusion.
“It's black. When it's woke, it's black. BLM, it's black. It is a slick way for them to then, not necessarily deal with the N word, not necessarily to deal with blackness, but they're doing it through DEI, and every other marginalized group is then hurt.”
The database of content to be deleted may be as large as 100,000 items, said one official.
