Instead, the Army's 250th birthday been hijacked and eclipsed by a megalomaniac. And that genuinely sucks, in ways that maybe hadn't entirely registered until right now. It's not fair

And there's been bravery worth celebrating. There's been heroism and camaraderie in the Army even as our politicians sent us into shit situations for shit reasons

The Army has traditions worth celebrating

We have spent decades fighting garbage wars that leveled countries and killed at least a million. That's on the politicians. People mostly join the Army to escape a bad situation, go to college, and/or because they believe in the goodness of America

Moving forward, there are already other - and better and, hey, transparent - initiatives as it comes to sharing critical data: NCBI, of course, which should be used by _all_ tax-payer funded research, but also @pathoplexus.org, which should become the replacement for GISAID - and I'm sure it will.

Pretty clearly what happened here is news orgs didn’t hit this very hard 10d ago because they thought the WH was offering some sort of gang intelligence analysis by superimposing text on the man’s tattoos, but that’s not what it was to Trump. bsky.app/profile/esgh...
I had to upload the clip here because it's frankly insane. Possibly the most insane trump clip yet. His brain is pudding

It’s an awful case in a lot of ways, holding that the Fugitive Slave Act precluded a PA law protecting black residents from being taken out of the state into slavery.

But it established the principle that states and local magistrates don’t have to cooperate with federal law enforcement.
