A female Navy officer was up for a historic title. Then Hegseth stepped in
There were just two women in the Navy Special Warfare combat crew as of the 2024 budget year
โThe decision has been widely criticized, w/ sources suggesting the cancellation was due to her gender and is now forcing her into retirement due to the Navy's โup or outโ policy. This officer was expected to become the first woman in the role and the first woman to command in Naval Special Warfareโ

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.
The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

I seem to recall from high school something Voltaire wrote about men from Jupiter and Saturn or the like flying to Earth via balloon? I'd think he's the first science fiction author?

We are headed toward martial law and the end of our democracy and I will never forgive the people in power who every step of the way told us it was all just fine and everything would work out swell as long as we kept pretending that nothing we have actually seen with our own two eyes was happening

While Trump murders people on boats for supposedly trafficking drugs, Jonathan Braun, a convicted drug trafficker serving a 10 year sentence he pardoned in 2021, will be sentenced in court today after he sexually assaulted a woman after Trump freed him from prison.
