Pete Hegseth just blocked the promotions of seven senior Navy officers — five of whom are women or people of color — to two-star admiral rank.
For the first time in more than a decade, no female active-duty naval officers are likely to be promoted to admiral this year. https://t.co/RTCUIjTLTx

Someone called the police on a little boy in Hapeville, Georgia last week.
A neighbor had dialed 911 to report a kid going door to door in the neighborhood. Officer Colleran from the Hapeville Police Department was dispatched to handle the "disturbance."
When he arrived, he found a young boy, politely knocking on doors, hat in hand, asking if anyone needed their weeds pulled, their grass cut, or their hedges trimmed.
He wasn't begging. He wasn't causing trouble.
He was working.
Officer Colleran asked the boy what he was saving up for.
"A PlayStation 5, sir. But I don't want anyone to just give it to me. I want to earn it."
Let that sink in for a second. A child out in the summer heat, going door to door with a work ethic most adults would envy, because he wanted to earn what he wanted. Not ask for it. Not expect it. Earn it.
Officer Colleran, a gamer himself, knew exactly how much a PS5 meant to that kid. And he also knew something else, he was looking at a boy with more character than most people twice his age.
So he made some calls.
He reached out to a few friends, they pooled their money, and together they showed up with a brand new PlayStation 5 and a gift card for an online membership.
The boy who someone wanted removed from the neighborhood went home that day with more than a console.
He went home knowing that the right people are paying attention.
Police violently arrest Black pregnant woman—threaten to shoot her with taser.
"That's my little sister," her brother yells.
"She's pregnant!"
"You're doing this because of that mother-f'er in the White House!"
Pregnant should always be handcuffed in front—never behind back like law enforcement did here.
Being shot with a Taser can endanger both her and the fetus—the electrical shock and sudden muscle contraction can trigger serious injury or pregnancy complications.
Incident occurred in Cleveland, Ohio.

Cooper: I've seen governments and dictators rise and fall, people and places torn apart by lies and hate and war. And I've seen people do things and heard them say things that I could never have imagined. I've seen what we humans are capable of when everything else is stripped away. Yes, great acts of barbarism and brutality. But we are also capable of remarkable acts of heroism and kindness. It's a choice, and the choice is up to us
Let's hope 50 years from now, someone standing here or somewhere on the eve of the 300th anniversary of this republic will look back and say of us: they didn’t know if they would make it through but they did.
America is a constant work in progress. Every generation must take up the unfinished work of the last and carry it further—protecting what’s right, fixing what’s wrong, and making our union a little more perfect. 250 years later, that’s more important than ever.
