Pete Hegseth removed Colin Powell’s name from a list of notable Americans, buried at Arlington National Cemetery. Hegseth also removed the names of every person of color and every woman on the same list. Only white men were left in place.

Pete Hegseth's actions aren't just some small error; this was intentional.
We've seen this before, from Trump to his followers-an outright erasure of people of color, all walks of life, and anyone who doesn't fit their narrow view.
As a white person, I've never panicked about being erased because of my color. But here I am, fighting for what's right because it's just wrong. fukk this shyt.
We can't go backwards, we need to move forward. This fight isn't just for people of color; it's for all of us. Racism must be rejected by everyone. We can't let history repeat itself.
We must stand up, make our voices heard, and fight to protect what's right.

It’s infuriatingly one of the many consequences of putting a white supremacist in the Oval Office.

Thank you for monitoring this. They are scrubbing all these names and then waiting until someone notices and tells on them to restore them

What happened at Arlington National Cemetery’s website is flat-out wrong. There’s no sugarcoating it. Yanking down pages that celebrate the sacrifices of African Americans, Hispanics, and women, like Colin Powell and the Tuskegee Airmen, all because of some half-baked anti-DEI crusade, is a disgraceful slap in the face to their memory. These aren’t random diversity hires. They’re American heroes who bled for this country, and burying their stories under a pile of bureaucratic nonsense is indefensible. It’s not just a technical tweak. It’s a deliberate choice to dim the spotlight on people who’ve earned their place in history, all to appease a political tantrum. Wrong doesn’t even begin to cover it. It’s a betrayal of what Arlington stands for.
And then there’s Pete Hegseth, our illustrious Secretary of Defense, sitting on his hands while this mess festers. What’s he doing about it? Nothing, apparently. He’s just twiddling his thumbs while the cemetery scrambles to “restore content” in a way that kisses the ring of Trump’s executive order. Oh, Pete, you brave warrior of the culture wars, too busy polishing your Fox News talking points to fix this travesty! You’d think a guy who loves to play tough guy on TV would have the guts to say, “Hey, maybe we shouldn’t trash the legacy of our war dead over this.” But no, he’s letting it ride, probably hoping nobody notices the stench. Pathetic. Step up, Hegseth. Clean up your mess, or at least pretend you care about the graves you’re supposed to honor.

Tell the truth. It didn’t remove their names it removed anything notating race or gender because it simply doesn’t matter.

I have no idea if this is true. But didn't Colin Powell wittingly lie us into the Iraq war?

How/where can we verify this? MAGAs don't believe these things are happening because it is not verifiable and their networks (Fox and NewsMax) don't tell about it. How can people access this to see the names that have been removed?
