The US empire is so "progressive" it now has a Black leader of the military who will oversee genocidal wars of aggression against Black and Brown people all across West Asia and Africa, bombing civilian infrastructure, droning weddings, enforcing medieval blockades.
"Progress"!
"Progress"!

Ok I'll bite: It's telling how many radlibs who support police abolition would never, ever call for the same for the imperial US military.
This is just like celebrating police diversity.
The US war machine must be abolished, not made more representative
