who did this 😆😩

huh, I thought we were getting back to uniform standards and such, were we not

we did what

please, for the love of god, don't call it that

we plebians are gonna freeze to death in the dark this winter, aren't we "ERCOT now has 1,999 active generation interconnection requests—mostly solar and battery projects—totaling 432 gigawatts." #txlege

Today in 1979, Luv Ya Blue signs debut at the Houston Oilers versus the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Astrodome.

I just wish the cartoon villains running things were less…pathetic

this is the thing. this reflects not only on the grossly unqualified secdef or one ethically ambivalent admiral…it influences the public’s perception of the moral compass and integrity of *all* those who served in uniform…before, during, and after this shameful episode

"...one in four military members experiencing infertility due to a number of factors, including occupational hazards."

somebody’s grounded

Who has made this 🤣

nah, i think it's just that he's, like, super racist

denying entry of third world nationals but doing the bidding of a second world country #kompromat

such an absurd stretch to treat these guys on boats as 'combatants' and their alleged drugs as 'lethal weapons' that will inevitably make it to our shores. admiral bradley, a usna grad no less, should have known to push back, lest he be remembered as a lieutenant calley.

"Friends don’t let friends buy books on Amazon." - @bookshop.org

Every American who wore the uniform from Valley Forge to now took an oath against tyranny, making them textbook antifascists. The military's entire purpose is defending democracy from authoritarianism. Declaring antifa "domestic terrorism" means our founding principle is now a prosecutable offense.

this. this is service academy semester one, year one decision making. military leadership 101. west point plebes could have handled this better, ffs

why, thank you, kind sir! 🪑

Bradley is a scapegoat--Hegseth almost certainly gave that order, directly, intentionally, and knowingly. But Bradley still conveyed the order to his subordinates. Everyone from Bradley down to the guy who actually did the shooting is guilty of first degree murder and should be punished as such.

i’m starting to think they didn’t cover ucmj at cadet bonespurs’ military-themed boarding school

Mark Kelly: "My concern is with the service members -- we're gonna put these individuals in a really tough place. They may find our down the road that they did something that's illegal. It's not fair to them. That's why need presidents and secretaries of defense who understand the Constitution"

seems like a good time to re-up matthieu aikins' great 2021 nyt mag piece that discusses the cia's afghan 'zero units'

The 29-year-old suspect entered the U.S. in 2021 through a program that resettled thousands of Afghans after the U.S. withdrew from the country. Before that, he worked with the CIA. The guard members shot have been identified as Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20, and Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24.

We warned that a "manufactured war" on our streets would put troops at risk. Today, two WV Guardsmen were shot in DC. Escalating domestic militarization doesn't make us safer; it puts citizen soldiers in the crosshairs. Stop the stunts. Bring them home. #NoWarOnOurStreets https://bit.ly/484rFJr
