Proud of military families. These kids have more guts than big law firms and universities.

"Students held signs that read "Hands Off Our Library", "Academic Freedom = American Freedom" and "Unity In Diversity," according to photos shared on the Instagram page.

The students were protesting President Donald Trump's executive orders that have resulted in Department of Defense Education Activity schools removing books from their libraries and altering curricula related to minorities, women and LGBTQ+ people." #military #DOD military.com/daily-news/2025/0

Military.com · Hundreds of Students at Military Base Schools Walk Out to Protest Trump Administration’s Anti-Diversity PoliciesThe walkouts, which included about a dozen schools on U.S. military bases in Europe, Asia and at least one stateside, represent the biggest collective action military children have taken since the start of the Trump administration.

She did her job to promote unity on the installation but I would have advised her to word it differently if she wanted to keep the job. Being fired for this was 100% predictable and I'm sure she understood that and did it anyway. It's a bad time to be a commander. #military #DOD #Greenland military.com/daily-news/2025/0

"Vice Adm Shoshana Chatfield has been fired. She was the first woman to lead the US Naval War College in Newport, RI. Her tenure made her a target of conservative advocacy, claiming she was overly concerned with DEI.

Chatfield served as America’s rep to the NATO MIL CMTE, the alliance’s group of top uniformed officials. The body advises NATO’s two most senior military leaders & helps guide LT strategy.

A shameful #firing.

…no longer a need for Clearview to pretend to be apolitical. Lambert…new co-CEO, is already in business with both #ElonMusk’s #SpaceX and #DoD…and he has made no secret of his desire to deploy #Clearview as an instrument of #MAGA rule.

Clearview’s business model is based on “weaponizing our own images against us without a license, without consent, without permission,” says Albert Fox Cahn, executive director of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project @STOPSpying

Mother JonesThe shocking far-right agenda behind the surveillance tech used by ICE and the FBIClearview AI’s founders always intended to target immigrants and the political left. Now their digital dragnet is in the hands of the Trump administration.

Trump's firing of U.S. Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield is being referred to as an "expanding national security purge" but let's be honest. This isn't about national security any more than firing Gen CQ Brown & Adm Lisa Franchetti was. This is about fucking over women and POC who are the best of the best. This is an expanding attack on women and POC. It's not "national security" anything...except weakening it. As always, Putin is thrilled. #military #DOD
