Getting women and minority groups to pursue careers in firefighting at higher rates is a good thing actually. We need more firefighters.
But over in the right-wing X echo chamber, the angry NPCs are screaming about DEI initiatives because the LAFD Chief is...a highly-qualified woman.

Checked in on the other place. It's of course flooded with people loudly defending all of the insane nonsense Trump said yesterday about annexing Canada, vaccines, trade, deporting people in mixed status families, ending birthright citizenship, etc.

Fun fact of the day: With the election of Nick Begich III as the next Congressman from Alaska, four members of the Begich family across three generations have served in elected office in Alaska. Nick Sr., two of his sons (Tom and Mark), and now his grandson Nick Begich III.
