Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

For all you who continually whine “I’m not racist, I just think we need to have standards,” this is absorb this.No Black man could become head of the Joint Chiefs without meeting the standard. What they want is to harden a system of affirmative action for white guys.They what their grandfathers had.

This is a shameful way to treat our fellow citizens who are public servants. This doesn’t make America great.

Sometimes I forget that our own military has long been obsessed with Nazi Germany. That's a good thing if the leader tries to do all the exact same Hitler stuff. They're actually vaccinated against it.

We just won a court order stopping DOGE and unauthorized, unelected, and unvetted individuals like Elon Musk from accessing people's private data and blocking federal funds. We will keep fighting to protect all Americans from this administration’s destruction.

If you're too scared to do what's right, quit. There's a lot of good Americans who have the courage you lack.

OREGON: “The house & senate are totally abdicating their responsibilities.” @RepBentz (R) is the latest Republican to get confronted by constituents at a town hall. (Tennessee folks— town halls are these things where senators/reps show up and you can talk to them in person)

Reshaping the Federal Government by removing women, people of any colour other than white so basically anyone who actually worked to get their job. It isn't healthy to have so much hate and rage but JFC Republicans deserve all our wrath. Outrageous traitors to America!!!

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

Fellow veterans, former coworkers, former clients, my kid's best friend's dad, childhood friends, the girl that sat next to me during driver's ed...all federal employees - dedicated civil servants - all lost their jobs over the past 10 days at the whim of the richest man in the world.
