Military recruiters have pulled out of recruiting at the Black Engineer of the Year Awards, afraid it's too "diverse." The same recruiting unit went to an NRA event last week. Tell me again how this has to do with merit?

All of this is intentional. He puts out loads of EOs in a short amount of time, hoping that things will be missed in all the chaos, and that people and systems will be overwhelmed (shock and awe). Then they wait to see what the reaction is.

NYT reported that the number of potentially affected agents is as high as 6k. The bureau has about 13.7k agents total
What a hideous headline. Folks calling the shots here are just corrupt banana republic trash.

They said they were going after hardened criminals. The MAGA following have since moved the goal posts, deciding that deporting pregnant women and children is fine because they are criminals for just being here. This sort of bait and switch doesn't seem familiar at all, nope...

Why are my tax dollars funding $300 million worth of erectile dysfunction treatments? In fact, let's stop all medical research into the issue and divert it to women's health research. You know, since we're protecting women now.

Trans rights matter
Trump issues order to ban transgender troops from serving openly in the military
The executive order speaks of transgender identity in sweeping and dismissive terms and sets the stage for a policy that is more restrictive and punitive than the ban from Trump's first term.

They said the quiet part out loud again. It's not about protecting children, it's about protecting their fertility. Predatory language from adults if I've ever heard it.

Trans rights matter.

This is the type of "DEI" and "affirmative action" that needs to go. And to know there are still career fields where attending one of these universities gets people a leg up...

Is anyone surprised that of all his executive orders, the one about lowering prices has the least amount of specific language in terms of a plan? Even my 9th grade students were better at writing goals/plans. How did he run businesses again? Oh, into the ground.

Something that needs to be discussed more:

Donald Trump, Elon Musk and many of his other cronies would never be able to get a security clearance of any kind, let alone the TS/SCI clearance requiring a full scope polygraph.

First post! Never got into the other platform that shall go unnamed, but I'm going to give this a try as an outlet for my thoughts that I wouldn't post elsewhere.
