Trump's chaotic racism hits the Air Force
An order from President Donald Trump to cease government programs and initiatives meant to advance civil rights and increase diversity led to the Air Force temporarily pulling a training video referencing the legacy of the legendary Tuskegee Airmen.
The video showcased the airmen—who were Black pioneers of flight and helped the Allies win World War II against fascism—along with the Women Airforce Service Pilots, who performed flying duties during the war.
Air Force personnel were instructed to pull classes featuring the videos “immediately” in compliance with Trump’s orders. The order also halted an Air Force program meant to mentor minorities and women to rise in the ranks of the service.
After early reports emerged that the video had been pulled, Republican Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama complained that it had been a case of “malicious compliance” and that Trump and his administration “will continue to deeply respect and elevate the Tuskegee Airmen’s legacy.”

Malicious compliance? That's a new one.
