Using our “global strength” to force an invaded country into concessions with an invader makes us complicit with the invader. It’s like returning an abuse victim to the abuser’s home. Shameful. Wrong. Un-American.
Tweet from Secretary Marco Rubio ( @marcorubio ): "Took an important step forward today to establish enduring peace between Russia and Ukraine. We are using our global strength to unite countries. The United States wants peace. We want the killing to stop. Thanks to Saudi Arabia and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for hosting."

yep — commemorations of the Holocaust, MLK, and the Emancipation Proclamation are now considered “Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs"

Intelligence officials are starting to leak to me now too. Here’s a memo Defense Intelligence Agency personnel received instructing them to suspend observances including:
- Holocaust Remembrance Day
- MLK Day
- Juneteenth

this is straightforwardly an effort to try to re-segregate the officer corps

Trump and his Secretary of Defense nominee have proposed purging military officers they view as too "woke."
A Heritage funded group is proposing names: offers who served on a DEI panel, or written about race, or sought to recruit at a historically Black college.
apnews.com/article/hegs...
Another female Air Force officer was on the list because she “served as a panelist for a diversity, equity and inclusion” discussion in 2021. An Air Force colonel, who is white, was called out for an opinion piece he wrote following the death of George Floyd, saying, “Dear white colonel, we must address our blind spots about race.” A female Air Force officer was targeted because of “multiple woke posts” on her X feed, including a tweet about LGBTQ rights, one about “whiteness” and another about honoring the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on a stamp. The list names an Army officer who traveled to 14 historically Black colleges to expand the military’s intelligence recruitment efforts, and an Air Force officer partly because he co-chairs the Asian-Pacific Islander subgroup of the service’s diversity task force.
