The Daily Beast reports:
A photo from the FBI’s training academy in Quantico, Virginia, has gone viral as a grave symbol of the Trump administration’s push to strip diversity, equity, and inclusion values from all facets of the federal government.
The image, which has racked up millions of views on social media, shows a man painting solid gray over a colorful mural that highlighted the agency’s core values, such as “diversity,”“fairness,” “compassion,” and “integrity.”
The photo was obtained by The New York Times and posted to X by pastor Zach W. Lambert.
Read the full article. At this writing the photo has 11 million views and thousands of celebratory replies by the cult. Lambert is tangling with a number of them, saying that many of the words painted over exemplify the teachings of Jesus. The cult is responding with mockery.
This photograph was taken two days ago at the FBI Academy in Quantico and submitted to the NYT under the condition of anonymity.
If a picture is usually worth a thousand words, this one is worth millions. pic.twitter.com/kovky9buxs

FBI academy, Quantico, VA, 2025.
Donald Trump, literally graywashing the values out of America.
