George Takei 
🏳️🌈🖖🏽Yes. That is in fact what just happened.
DaMan_AB@georgetakei Straight from the dictator playbook, rewrite history and deny the facts.
DarcyThis DEI bullshit is gone far enough. Someone, anyone needs to stand up and say something in congress!!!!
Soozcat@georgetakei YELL THIS LOUD. I'm not Native American, but my niece is a registered member of the Navajo Nation and learning about this key segment of World War II history gave her such pride in her ancestry.
The same people who bridled at taking down Confederate statues because "mah heritage" and "you cain't erase history" are now literally trying to erase history.
YELL. THIS. LOUD.
zemsgram@georgetakei We are fully into 1984 territory now. But keep fighting.
Stephen Elliott~BuckleyIf it drives a #SwastiCar like a #nazi and #siegheil's like a nazi...
If you're in #mairikkka, you too can go elbows up hey!
Terrie@georgetakei just when I think they cant stoop any lower. Our federal government is in full racist fascist
LiveByReasonNext year, 2026, is the 250 year anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Let's take back patriotism from the MAGA fascists:

#TheNewColossusChallenge Next year, is 2026. 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The MAGAs will absolutely want to own the narrative and define patriotrism in America. Our Job: Don't let them. Don't let them define American Values and American Ideals. As part of this, I want to throw out a challenge to all the musicians of America: The poem on the Statue of Liberty, is called "The New Colossus". It has long been a statement of American values and patriotism. It is the poem with those famous words, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free." It is Public Domain, because it is so old. Nobody owns it. You don't need permission to use it. So I hereby propose #TheNewColossusChallenge :
thecampbell@georgetakei insane. Reality has gotten so warped it's looking at back of its own head.
samiamsamrepublicans are assholes
McDyer@georgetakei
I am starting to think they're trying to goad us into the streets so they can justify martial law.

RationizedInsanity🏳️🌈🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱🇵🇸@georgetakei As someone half Native, this makes me VERY angry.
We get disrespected in history enough, and now this shit?
derptron@georgetakei I know it's besides the point but I am curious.
I thought the Navajo were used in the Pacific theater, which largely happened after Hitler was defeated.
KanaMaunaTrump barely knows what a computer is and is probably functionally illiterate. These purges are being done by racists who were already there, just biding their time.
Deborah Sampson@georgetakei
They fought in WWI too!
We just keep taking.
We’ve become the “Aliens” in “Independence Day”!
Stripping the planet of is resources & moving on to the next planet…
Isn’t that right, #elonmusk ?

@georgetakei Unluckily the nazi defeat was only temporary :(
@liberoseleni @georgetakei Obviously the: "never" in: "never again" stands for "eighty years or less".
Earsmeardius@georgetakei It all makes sense now.
Sue is Writing Solarpunk 🌞🌱The erasure is horrific & of course they're trying to erase *people* not just history on websites: they want trans people to disappear from public life, women & people of color to disappear from the workplace, immigrants&dissidents to disappear into murder prisons.
We fight them or they destroy us.
