Here are the people Trump doesn’t want to exist
Abstract
When the Trump administration encounters a group it doesn’t respect or care for, oftentimes it just deletes them — specifically, the very record of their existence.
For example, when the Defense Department was asked to cull all DEI-related content from its websites, it removed approximately 26,000 images. A list of the deleted photos was given to the Associated Press. About 19,000 of them included descriptions, and our analysis found that 4 out of 5 depicted women, people in the LGBTQ+ community and racial minorities.
