Adding into that, a lot of smaller commands in basically every service will fabricate a reason to separate that is pretty openly targeting a trans member.

Before we run to congratulate them, I personally know at least 3 trans troops that were kicked out by the navy. As much as this stuff is stopped at higher leadership levels, the actual treatment really comes down to local leadership.

This. I was a swabbie, but the same general thing applied: if you were awesome at your job and had a good attitude, nobody cared about your lifestyle off duty. Bashing was nipped in the bud if it existed.

Woah - boards of service in the Marines and the Navy are ignoring Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth's order to purge transgender troops from the military. "Navy and Marine Corps boards have voted to retain trans members in nine of 12 cases." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

i really do think that a successful impeachment and removal of hegseth is a live possibility if dems win the senate. he is a genuine disaster.

Man, Hegseth's Department of War is even more buffoonish than everything else. Kinda amazed how the US military didn't just have some basic war plans they could activate. Their lack of preparedness is astonishing. meidasnews.com/news/so-much...

The Executive Branch has no authority to regulate states’ election decisions as to candidate qualifications, and the choice to file a lawsuit like this just days before an election speaks volumes about the political corruption festering at the top levels of the DOJ.

NEWS — The Trump administration sued Alaska over Dan J. Sullivan’s Senate candidacy, arguing voter confusion could affect the race between Sen. Dan S. Sullivan and Democrat Mary Peltola, per Courthouse News.

zenosAnalytic reposted

yeah, i think this is right. legally this is an absurd lawsuit. but as a speech act it works to alert republican voters to the existence of two dan sullivans on the ballot

I feel like people are underrating a fairly obvious theory for this (and the previous laughably stupid lawsuits that the SCOTAK struck): the point is just getting the word out that this situation exists so their voters realize it and vote for the incumbent Dan Sullivan over the other Dan Sullivan

zenosAnalytic reposted

I understand the freakout here but honestly this one reads as a sign of weakness to me a) peltola is going to win by more than the second dan sullivan's margin b) this argument is pathetic, and if their strategy is 'throw pathetic shit at the wall and hope something sticks' I'm less worried

Large French Trade-Unions, like the CGT, often employ their own security service, not to necessarily protect union members, or others, from the police but to often violently police anyone that gets out of line in their State-sanctioned parades. Anarchos often antagonize them, so this tracks.

Emmanuel Macron warned that the government will ban protests that are not organised by legitimate groups such as unions to prevent a repeat of the rioting and looting that erupted across France last weekend. ft.trib.al/yybAmUz

2. The other nicest thing I can say is that, whether you know it or not, if you watched last night, her estate was clearly not involved in the production of the tribute.
