There is a black neighborhood in Columbus that as home to many #TuskegeeAirmen when they were stationed here on the base that now remains as part of DLA DSCC. The neighborhoods partially destroyed by the interstate and the DLA article about it has been removed web.archive.org/web/20230729...

#RemoteWork I like working at companies like my current one where we are growing and increasing our headcount and revenue, while also closing costly offices and leveraging the benefits of remote work for thousands of our the team with phenomenal collaboration, and great company loyalty and benefits.

Reuploading this video from Army Heritage Month 2021, where I talked about the importance of remembering the stories of those who came ahead of us. youtu.be/e72Fogw_WLk

Today, a broad coalition of scientific professional societies who represent over 92,000 scientists are speaking out against the politicization and demonization of Federally funded science and government scientist jobs. It was an honor to help the Union of Concerned Scientists with this! 🧪🌎

The Army deleted my “Why I served” video where I talked about how I decided I wanted to attend West Point/join the Army after one of the cadets my family used to sponsor died in combat. Probably deleted because she was the first black woman to be CSM at West Point.

BREAKING: U.S. President Donald Trump says his long-threatened trade war is going ahead with tariffs on Canadian goods set to take effect just after midnight and there's nothing Canada can do to stop them.

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book

Don’t buy today. Give the greedheads a taste of their own medicine.

Tom Homan can’t find enough illegal immigrants to deport because they fabricated the ‘crisis,’ so now he’s just gonna spend all his time attacking AOC.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

"Under no circumstances should any sane person take his health advice. Nor should any senator consent to give him authority over government agencies that regulate our food and medicines."

They are trying to erase us. They are trying to wipe us out. Do not let them.

👀 “I understand my duty as a prosecutor to mean enforcing the law impartially, and that includes prosecuting a validly returned indictment regardless whether its dismissal would be politically advantageous, to the defendant or to those who appointed me.” - Former Acting USA, SDNY Danielle Sassoon.

NEW: At least three more DOJ Public Integrity Unit senior officials have resigned after meeting with Emil Bove on the Eric Adams case. Five in Public Integrity overall. That’s six officials who resigned, triple the number that happened during the Saturday Night Massacre.

We are calling for a nationwide and international boycott of all Elon Musk-related products and services. Sell your Tesla shares, avoid buying Tesla vehicles, cancel Starlink, and delete your X accounts.

With both RFK Jr and Gabbard confirmed, two people who rose to prominence spreading conspiracy theories about public health and national intelligence will now run the U.S. government agencies in charge of those areas. For someone studying these conspiracy theories for a decade... this is nauseating.

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban. Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.

A national tragedy and the family has to hide the name of their honorably serving soldier to avoid political hatred. www.npr.org/2025/01/30/n... #DCAcrash

Well said, Pete Buttigieg

Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly has endorsed Mark Carney in the Liberal Party of Canada's leadership race, arguing the economist has a "clear vision" for the future.

The new website is already up. They've even got a section where you can send her a note, so I sent her a note saying how proud I am/we are to support her. kamalaharris.com

View on my last visit to Sherrod’s Senate office in Washington. So much change was coming for our country. But I heard our grandchildren’s laughter nearby and felt the hope in that. Life is never one thing. We are in this together, friends & kind strangers. Knowing that gives me so much strength.

I am disgusted and horrified.

Today I’m reminded of how often I seek out our flag. If there’s a thing that you’ve got to take out of my cold, dead hands it will be the American flag. It belongs to us all. Don’t give it away or let it represent a “side.” It represents an ideal, don’t let anyone take that ideal from you.

I understand there are other things going on in the world today but here at the Scalzi Compound this Monday is going to be about that last push to finish this novel I'm writing, which is so close to being done. Be kind to yourselves today, folks. See you soon.

It’s crazy to think 20 years ago I was in Iraq getting ready to get home to the stable and strong country I came from. The last year has really wonder the direction of that same country and how we lost our heart, and soul to be replaced with viciousness and a kakistocracy. #MLkJR
