Paul Krugman challenges Pete Hegseth’s “lethality” speech to military leaders, calling it regressive and out of touch with modern warfare. Emphasizing brute force and machismo, Hegseth overlooks innovation, tech, and diversity—key to Ukraine’s fight against Russia. This outdated mindset risks damaging U.S. military effectiveness and leadership.

@heidilifeldman Since Trump, the Guardian has a very good US-section - and it's out of reach of the wannabee-dictator.
It's so evil and ugly: We know that this regime is against #diversity. But this post at 17.55 CEST

#Trump & #Hegseth #military address🤬🧵

#Defense Secy #PeteHegseth addressed the gathering of military leaders earlier.

He assailed what he called "decades of #decay" caused by policies promoting #diversity & #inclusion in the #USmilitary.

"Foolish & reckless political leaders set the wrong compass heading & we lost our way. We became the 'Woke Department,'" Hegseth said as he kicked off the event in Quantico, Virginia.

"But not anymore," he said.

Now, #Democrats & #centrists were lining up to honor a man who promoted the same #GreatReplacementTheory that served as the rallying cry for that march. At a time when the president of the #US is using his power to go after #diversity efforts & engaging in a #MassDeportation project, some #progressives are arguing that #POC, #immigrants & members of other marginalized groups who felt dehumanized by #Kirk’s commentary, podcasts & debates have to find a way to locate common ground w/his followers.

If you have *first hand experience* of improving the diversity of a governance board of (currently all men) volunteers, I'd love to hear how you went about it, or resources which helped you, please.

What did you find helped make the role more attractive to a wider range of applicants to join?
