There's a very obvious reason why Whiskey Pete Hegset refuses to apologize for putting service members at risk bc he's incompetent. His ENTIRE CLAIM to authority is that white Christian men are competent, and women and Black men and trans people are not.

Disability is not a moral failing. It’s not a punishment. It’s simply part of being human. If you live long enough, you will likely experience some kind of disability. It’s one of the only minority groups you can join at any time. Stop treating us as less than & help us combat ableism!

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

WOW: @miamiherald.com reveals that a person imprisoned in El Salvador had LEGAL REFUGEE STATUS. He entered the USA legally in January and was detained because of his tattoos, EVEN THOUGH he had previously passed a full background check. Without warning, he was sent to El Salvador on March 15.
On Jan. 8, after they were finally granted the coveted refugee status, E.M., 29, and his girlfriend, Daniela Palma, 30, finally arrived in the United States, flying into Houston. Upon arrival, an immigration officer asked the young man the question that changed his life in moments. “Do you have any tattoos?” He had already been asked that by U.S. authorities in Colombia as part of an extensive background check, and he now gave the same answer

To give a sense of how much money this is: according to CBO in 2023, non-defense discretionary spending was $917B. So the cost of running the entire federal govt, aside from SocSec, Medicare, Medicaid & defense was $917B. And in six weeks DOGE lit $500B on fire.

The post from @johnamaechi.apsintel.com
John Amaechi OBE's Post 

I notice that the debate on the film Adolescence and the hand- wringing around the plight of young, working-class (White) men seems to have more compassionate energy than the conversations about the stories of aberrant behaviour of young men from other ethnic and racial minority communities. 

The former group is psychologised", and their behaviour is framed as part of a larger societal problem, whereas the latter group is criminalised, and their behaviour is framed as a pathology of their identity.

Trump called for taking over D.C. and clearing homeless encampments due to crime, but in an op-ed @eduardorferrer.bsky.social says the city is the safest it's been in decades. Keeping it that way, he adds, requires community-centered solutions, not punitive policies. 51st.news/opinion-trum...

Opinion: Trump is stoking fears about D.C.'s crime but the city is safer than it's been in decades.
In the past, fears about crime have produced regressive and punitive policies. Now is the time for D.C. to invest in preventative solutions.
