#OTD in 1945, FDR died. One month later, USS Coral Sea was renamed in his honor. In 1950, USS Franklin D. Roosevelt became the first carrier to take nuclear weapons to sea. The weapons would have been delivered by P2V Neptune bombers launched with "Jet-assisted take-off" (JATO).

You know what would be amazing, if Vance can negotiate an agreement where Iran doesn't enrich above 3.67% (far below weapons grade); gets rid of 98% of its stockpile of uranium; has weekly inspections by the IAEA; and commits to all of this for at 10 years. Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

Today is National Submarine Day. During WWII, 263 U.S. Navy submarines deployed on war patrols. This image of 52 submarines in the Pacific Reserve Fleet at Mare Island in 1946 represents the same number of subs that went on eternal patrol after being lost in the war.

Hey, @kenwhite.bsky.social , I will contribute to a fund that enables you to get a CWS Pope hat.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

Serendipitous juxtaposition in my Bluesky feed @radiofreetom.bsky.social

Way too little trash talk in curling, imo.

Short corners are an abomination.

Non-masked MN National Guard are out handing out hot chocolate, coffee and donuts to protesters. One simple act has de-escalated the situation and helped gain the trust of people. See the difference between professional soldiers and the pretend tough guys in CBP and ICE?

I can still remember when white men took automatic weapons to statehouses in 2020 to protest Covid lockdowns. Basically armed militias occupying state legislatures. All with the support and cooperation of police. Not one of them was shot down. Not one of them was detained.

Our highest loyalty doesn't belong to people or parties. It belongs to principles. If you wouldn't accept it from your opponents, you shouldn't accept it from your allies. Integrity is standing by your values even when your own group violates them.

Don’t know who made this but….😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Surgeon General Recommends Adding Cancer Warning To All Nuclear Bombs https://theonion.com/surgeon-general-recommends-adding-cancer-warning-to-all-nuclear-bombs/

The fanatic right has lost the plot with this ever-expanding ludicrous concept of "doxxing." Life is not a video game forum. Identities of public figures, public servants, tax payer funded state actors, and those involved in events that rise to international level news interest are not "doxxing."

We're presently in an increasingly authoritarian state. Trump and his minions are fascists and would love to turn the US into a fascist state, and they're trying hard to achieve that, but we're not there yet. Voting is *still* the most effective way to stop this. People need to show up in November.

You won't see this on Pluribus, @radiofreetom.bsky.social , (even if you were still watching) but ABQ airport just opened a really beautiful new cell phone lot.

"Enlisted personnel obey lawful orders; officers ensure the orders that reach them are lawful. The real constitutional failsafe...is the officer corps, obligated to the Constitution alone." @markhertling.bsky.social on the military and illegal orders: www.thebulwark.com/p/what-ameri...

Wellness check, @annabower.bsky.social

For what it’s worth, as a commander and officer it was my duty, moral obligation, and legal requirement to first question and then to not obey any illegal order I was given. The same is true for everyone who swear their oath. Hope that clears things up.

I could have used this information earlier in life...
