So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

🥗 It seems disability is not worthy of study in any form in this administration. They prefer people without disabilities. Fits with their general hatred of everyone but themselves. Like everything else they're doing, this is incredibly short-sighted. Anyone could become disabled at any time.

If we live long enough, most if not all of us will become disabled. By age, pandemics, illness, climate catastrophes, organized abandonment, interpersonal or state violence, and working ourselves to injury/death. Disability injustice & defunding social support & healthcare are bad for you too.
