This is quite concerning ….

'What country am I in?' Famed Black general slams Trump's DEI crusade. Lloyd W. Fig Newton is the seventh African American four-star general in U.S. history and a former pilot with the Air Force's Thunderbirds. He sees racism in DEI attacks. www.expressnews.com/news/article... via @expressnews

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

WATCH: One Air Force basic training video on the Tuskegee Airmen is still shelved at JBSA-Lackland. Why? It lauds 'diversity.' We compare and contrast the videos, but see them for yourself. This story is gifted. www.expressnews.com/news/article...

We're still dealing with the old crap regarding women writing about WWII. I keep reading that my friends are receiving hostile, sexist and angry comments. It's pathetic. Women writers are tackling new subjects with aplomb and revisiting old subjects with fresh ideas. Some upcoming shows on WW2TV

One Air Force training video on the Tuskegee Airmen is still shelved bc it lauds 'diversity.' The film depicts the World War II Black aviators as proof that racial diversity strengthens the military. Pulled from the basic training curriculum, it’s 'under review.' www.expressnews.com/news/article...

We grieve along with our fellow military and civilian aviators for those lost and their loved ones who are left behind.

We cherish the memories of our dear WASP and are oh so grateful for these founding ladies of WMA!

The USAF has reversed itself "after uproar." We must continue to pay attention. We must continue to preserve & share the stories of the Tuskegee Airmen & the Women Airforce Service Pilots. I promised them I would always tell their stories. You can too. Knowledge is power! www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

It pays to make noise. Thank you, @saddamscribe.bsky.social , for such excellent journalism.

AF removes videos on the WASP and Tuskegee Airmen from basic training curriculum.

Indeed.

The early 60s were a hotbed of record-setting by the US military. For example, on Jan 14, 1961, a B-58 crew from Carswell AFB, TX set a record of 1,284.73 mph over a 1,000-kilometer course. Why? It was during the Cold War, and the records sent a message to the Soviet Union.

WASP Elizabeth I. White Dybbro Flew West on 21 January 2025 at age 102. Blue Skies and Tailwinds, dear sister!

Seems appropriate for today

There are only 8 MTFs that offer #FertilityTreatments for military families. Many of these MTFs have grants to offer services at discounted rates, but many can't access them due to where they live. View the list at the link in our bio! #MilitaryInfertilty #BuildingMilitaryFamilies
