Woof, Woof! Interesting #USAID programs in Africa are devastated by Trump-Musk, reportedly #PowerAfrica will be defunded, #AFRICOM will be folded into EUCOM, and of course #CQBrown was fired. What's do these decisions have in common? They were made by the #GrandWizard in Chief. He is consistent!

Thank you, @tessbridgeman.bsky.social. I am really appalled by this situation. Do you have advice for how people can (a) support/stand with/show solidarity for #CQBrown, and/or (b) challenge the purge?

Gen #cqbrown would go on to become the chair of the #jointchiefs of Staff under President #biden, in an 83-11 Senate vote. For the first time in its history, the #pentagon was led by two #black men, with #lloydaustin III, Biden’s #defense secretary.

But in #Trump’s eyes, one Trump adviser said […]

Gen #cqbrown spoke of how most of his mentors could not relate to his experience as a #black man. He spoke of wondering whether airmen who have not had similar experiences “don’t see #racism as a problem because it doesn’t happen to them, or whether they’re empathetic.”

Gen Brown finished by […]

Gen #cqbrown limited his words to his own experience, & reflected on the other world in which he lived, the #black one. “I’m thinking about being a captain at the O Club w/my squadron, & being told by other African Americans that I wasn’t Black enough, since I was spending more time with my […]

Gen #cqbrown spoke of “living in 2 worlds, both w/their own perspectives & views.” He described what those worlds were like for him. He & his sister were the only #black children at his elementary school, he said, & they tried to fit in. In their HS, half of the students were Black & they still […]

For 4½ mins, Gen #cqbrown spoke, in stark terms, about his life as an African American fighter pilot.
“I’m thinking about how full I am with, with emotion, not just for #georgefloyd, but the many African Americans that suffered the same fate as George Floyd,” he said, a…tremor his voice. “I’m […]

Against a dark background, a solemn Gen #cqbrown, clad in fatigues, stared into the camera, & said this: “As the commander of Pacific Air Forces, & a senior leader in our #airforce, & an African American, many of you may be wondering what I’m thinking about the current events surrounding the […]

Gen #cqbrown would later say in an interview that one of his two sons asked him: “What is Pacific Air Forces going to say?” As the commander of #pacificairforces, Gen Brown said he knew that was code for “Dad, what are you going to say?”
