An article on the Defense Department website devoted to Jackie Robinson’s military career disappeared and then reappeared, generating significant backlash. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/03/21/baseball/mlb/jackie-robinson-bio-deleted/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #baseball #mlb #jackierobinson #usmilitary #us #donaldtrump #losangelesdodgers #race

They fought in WWI too!

So the 4chan trolls #MAGA sadists have put in charge of the #DoD website have gone after #JackieRobinson
People with more than 2 braincells knew attacking #DEI was just a stand in for simple #racism all along
So now what. Now that #bigots are just openly bigots and no one with even 1 braincell can deny it without being laughed at, now what
We just let our honored heroes be pissed on by MAGA turds and we shrug? Forget about it? Accept it?
This country is a fucking joke
@GottaLaff This is the webpage on Jackie Robinson that was removed and then restored. I tried to pick out a snippet to quote but, honestly, it's just ALL good.
Please visit the page, then share widely.
Sports Heroes Who Served: Baseball Great Jackie Robinson Was WWII Soldier

@GottaLaff I have been a Mets fan since I was nine years old. (That’s more than half a century, in case you were curious.)
My Dad was a Brooklyn Dodgers fan. Mom visited relatives in Montreal in 1946 and they took her to a Royals game. (She wasn't a baseball fan yet. That happened after she met Dad. But she was there.)
This is the hill on which I will die.
