Navajo Marine Ira Hayes helped raise the American flag over Iwo Jima in WW2.

Today Trump had him removed from military websites because his bravery in action is considered “DEI.”

Trump never served. Ira Hayes was a hero. Agree?

[🇺🇸Jerry Mander🇺🇦 @realpublicius]

They removed the web page for Ira Hayes, one of the Marines who raised the flag on Iwo Jima.

This is Colonel Nicole Malachowski. A 21-year veteran of the Air Force, she is the first woman to fly with the Thunderbirds and flew 26 missions in Iraq. Trump has removed all mention of her from federal websites.

RETWEET if you stand with @RealMalachowski against Trump!

Answer to Vance: Zelenskyy has thanked our country over and over again both privately and publicly.
And our country thanks HIM and the Ukrainian patriots who have stood up to a dictator, buried their own & stopped Putin from marching right into the rest of Europe. Shame on you.

[Anna @AnnaDeMilanese]

Europe
French President Macron with a clear message to American President Trump:

"The Ukrainian president was elected in free elections, this does not apply to Putin,
who murders his political opponents and manipulates elections."

I don't know why the basic idea of defending one's home from invaders is so hard for him to grasp. But for the slow learners in the back: We were invaded, and our soldiers on the frontline are defending their homes and families from invaders notorious for murdering civilians.

I am old enough to remember when we were told Biden didn’t even have the power to fire USPS boss and Trump appointee Louis DeJoy.

[Ms Madwoman @amsmadwoman]

Naw, Republicans in Congress need to stand up. Enough of this mess. USPS is written into our constitution.

If Republicans fear upholding constitution then they should resign.

Can't wait to end up losing my job because of this clown. He wants to control the postal service so he can stop mail in voting. If anyone is paying attention at all we need to #SaveUSPS

5 years ago when DeJoy was dismantling USPS we suspected he was planning to privatize it. Now, Trump states that is exactly what he plans to do. Ben Franklin proposed a postal service as a way to make the mail available to all, a quaint concept under this authoritarian regime.

🚨🚨ANOTHER TRUMP ATTACK ON VETERANS!

The Postal Service is one of the largest employers of Veterans in the country. Hundreds of thousands of Veterans rely on USPS to deliver medications, benefits, and critical information.

We won’t stand by and let this happen. We WILL fight this!

When they privatize everything, it isn’t regular people who win. It’s their friends and whoever does what they want.

@cornishboyart @CedarsDeby @Denise10231976 Eliminating the student loan interest tax deduction would cost the taxpayer money, just as eliminating the mortgage interest deduction. Eliminating student loan INTEREST would enable people to pay off the loan sooner and would SAVE money. She's right.

@Denise10231976 It's not all so the wealthy can get tax breaks. This is the long term plan of Russia, to destroy the dollar, to destroy the US from the inside without a shot fired.

In any other country, a billionaire donor like Musk installing loyalists to seize federal agencies, access private citizen data and information about his competitors, and gut working class policies to fund his own tax cut would be called a coup.

[Emoluments Clause @Emolclause]

#BREAKING: Rep Raskin to #Maddow: "What I see are all the tell tale signs of a COUP. A coup is a seizure of state power by UNELECTED actors, who work to take over the critical infrastructure of government outside of the rule of law, and that's what I see as going on right now."
