With shit like this going on, right-wingers who pretend it's the left censoring speech can fuck themselves sideways with a pineapple.
News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

**Schnerious
its time to use a jackfruit or durian instead.
“a loss of trust and confidence in her ability to command,”
Then why are you still using HER fucking pronouns if they're such a fucking problem??
and her bio says she’s the “Navy deputy medical director for transgender healthcare.”
Oh I think I found the real thing they have an issue with. They just want to remove anyone who gives a single shit about things like quality healthcare.
Totally agree.

These Nazis are scared of grammar.
They would be if they could read
And they wonder why people get shot in the neck.
Ironically, it was because Chuckie wasn't fascist enough.
Literal grammar Nazis
It's grammar vs nazis.
Americans are brutally embarrassing and stupid.
Which county that just had an anti-immigration parade are you in?
Every country has idiots. Not every country elects them power. Twice.
Whatabout whatabout whatabout whatabout?
free speech? what a joke
"Free speech absolutist" is a codeword for hypocrit radical authoritarian who will persecute outgroups.
it's absolutely fascinating how the current government does everything they possibly can to promote and reward literal witch hunts.
Lawsuit coming
Is that even possible for a military leader in this situation?
She wasn’t kicked out of the Navy, just removed from that command. As far as suits for wrongful discharge…all the folks kicked out under DADT show that the answer is a later administration can change the status of your discharge but you’ll likely never see any benefits
with so few navy doctors to begin with, her being very accomplished is only going to hurt the navy when they need doctors.
We better find out.
This is a terrible precedent, but I also think that this Medical Doctor will somehow land on her feet.
She’s still probably panicking.
If she’s fired, she could get discharged. If they force a dishonorable discharge on her, that’s a 20 year military pension that just went out the window. I’d be losing my shit if I lost a pension that I was already vested in.
Yep and the psychological impact will be devastating. The military becomes part of your identity, and she's devoted her life to it.
her resume is impressive, she wont have trouble getting a MD position in the private sector, which pays more anyways.
and now she doesn't have to work for the regime any longer, win/win
What a perverse world. Fired for being civil.
The left, those who promote inclusivity and acceptance, are accused of hate. How odd.
ZOMG! Not...pronouns! Will the scourge never end?!
When is somebody finally going to retaliate against Libs of TikTok?
Since they have no issue doxxing others I think we should know who they are
We do, it's Chaya Raichik, this is not particularly hidden information, she spoke at CPAC
My favorite retaliation so far is simply showing how stupid Chaya Raichik actually is. She didn't think any of this ideology through. An obvious grifter just saying random things she thinks conservatives want to hear. She has no idea what she's talking about at all
Guess they have plenty of doctors in the Navy. Fuck em, then.
Everyday we inch closer to handmaids tale irl.
The upside to all of this right-wing censorship is that every time they do it they sell a bit of their claim to being subversive rebels pushing against a stodgy set of norms around speech and independence. Which, like, is a large part of what they've built their base on.
We're quickly getting back to that 90s era status quo of the right being whining church groups who don't want to see anyone gay on TV or hear anyone say things that they don't like politically. The result being that the left gets to look cool and subversive again, which swings the pendulum toward our side.
The biggest strategic mistake we ever made on the left was coming off as scolding moral purists. This is an opportunity to walk that back, and to reframe the push for our rights as rebellion. "I don't care what you think, I'm doing what I want" is a much stronger position than "let me tell you why what you say and do is immoral".
