Bro, this dummy Pete Hegseth has Crusader tattoos and a new kafir ("infidel") tattoo? Good thing he's not in charge of the American military.

Whether you're a newspaper, a law firm, a university, a tech company, or anyone else, no amount of appeasement will prevent another, higher demand. He doesn't care about the subject matter of any agreement. He's a sociopath who will reassert dominance again and again until he is forcibly removed./

It’s very discouraging to watch our country slowly re-learn the lessons that led to the end of segregation, among them that people who think they’re racially superior are nearly universally incompetent fools unable to face up to their own deficiencies and putting them in charge is suicide

I was the first JAG assigned to the Navy Computers & Telecommunications Command Task Force on Network Security.
I got a TS clearance to hold that position.
My mind literally cannot get around the level of fuck up that Hegseth just pulled off.
The number of things that went wrong blows my mind.

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

MAGA thinks bullying Zelenskyy shows strength, and I think they're serious. They see reinforcing hierarchical relationships - the rightful authority smacking down the rebelling inferior - with bullying and violence as a Good Thing, which is why they embrace fascism in politics and abuse at home.

A senseless and cruel betrayal of those who have shown much more honor and commitment to this nation than those who have targeted them.

Transgender troops are being forced out of the military in roughly 2 months under new DoD policy. For trans service members I spoke to, that means an end to years-long careers, loss of benefits that help them and families, and a rushed adjustment to civilian life. taskandpurpose.com/military-lif...
Transgender troops say Pentagon is causing chaos with sudden policy reversal
Troops with decades of experience, including in critical areas, say they feel like the military is going back on promises made a decade ago.

Every JAG needs to think very carefully about their constitutional oath now. There won't be top cover.
But, God willing, there will one day be war crimes trials.

Hegseth says firing of top military lawyers was about making sure "they don't exist to be roadblocks to anything that happens."

NEW: On Section 504. "Attacks on any one group will be used as a wedge to attack all of us. You may not personally know any trans people, and you may even be uncomfortable with the idea ... but letting this attack go forward will eventually hurt you and the things you love, too." /1
Why are Republican states trying to overturn a pillar of disability rights?
They may not be successful in repealing Section 504 as part of the attack on treating gender dysphoria, but it begs the question of what they might come for next.
