Now I know why GANGSTERS OF CAPTIALISM was so cheap on Amazon! They’re trying to undercut Indie Bookstore Day. Screw them. Support your local independent and learn the forgotten imperial history of the USA as it comes home (again) as fascism. @indiebound.bsky.social bookshop.org/p/books/gang...

Mina Kimes knows how DEI strengthens subjects with qualified people who haven't been considered. Beginning her career in the male-dominated world of Karl Havoc halloween costumes, Mina broke the mask barrier to win the Turbo Team Karl Havoc of the year 2021, which led to a high profile job at ESPN.

I have gotten confirmation from sources inside the Coast Guard that this is in fact true and happened in Key West. ICE went into military housing and took the spouse of a USCG member who is currently out to sea.

Previous owner reportedly completed a "spark plug" service right before we purchased the car. I should have done due diligence. After feeling what I believed was intermittent misfires, my mechanic found non-OEM quality plugs and that only two coils had been replaced. FFS.

Guys, help me out. If my child goes off to fight in a war for a foreign power that has a demonstrated animus toward my government and national security interests, does this qualify as a "close and/or continuing contact" requiring disclosure on my SF-86?

"To the midshipmen at Annapolis: Keep reading. Keep thinking. Challenge ideas—even your own. That’s not disloyalty. That’s courage. That’s leadership. And to the Naval Academy: Don’t fear discomfort.

The King Hall Sunday morning harsh browns and fried eggs. No, this was nothing special, objectively, but that food will forever be tied to a unique calm that can only be felt in the context to constant stresses of that environment.

Right about now I want to say, as I’ve said a million times, that all American music is African-American music. All American music is also diaspora music traveling through Latin America and the Caribbean. All music everywhere is a commingling of elements. Thank you!

Mmmmmmmm if DoD is truly now unilaterally operating deportation flights without any DHS involvement (and this isn't just more attempts by DoJ to get sanctioned for lying) then that is a) extremely newsworthy and b) something several USAF GOs should get hauled up to the Hill to be yelled at about

I held lots of bad opinions about what we categorized as “engineering controls.” Automated speed cameras, roundabouts, trees, road narrowing, etc. Then I lived in Germany where they were prolific and thoughtfully applied and realized how great it was to separate cars from life.

It’s really hard to explain to someone who has never served the public the difference between a normal contractual exchange between employer/employee in private life vs “faithfully discharge(ing) the duties of the office” in which you serve. uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?r...

One of the most fulfilling moments of my career was leading a funeral detail while posted with a small Marine Reserve detachment prior to onboarded at TBS. It helped me understand the the privilege and responsibility I was about to assume.

SCOOP — The US sent Iraqi refugee Omar Ameen to Rwanda via new diplomatic relationship in which they've agreed to act as a "third country" for deportees unable to be safely returned to their country of origin, per cables reviewed by me. This is first reported instance. Cable indicates more to come.
