So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

PORTLAND: Tesla will be exhibiting vehicles at the Oregon International Auto Show, starting today and running through the end of the weekend.

I think a big problem news orgs have with describing Nazi salutes is that it puts two conventions in conflict one: Nazis are Bad this is basically the only thing news orgs are allowed to describe as unequivocally Bad two: you are not allowed to describe either side as Good or Bad, just conflicted

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.
