The USAF has reversed itself "after uproar." We must continue to pay attention. We must continue to preserve & share the stories of the Tuskegee Airmen & the Women Airforce Service Pilots. I promised them I would always tell their stories. You can too. Knowledge is power! www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...
Copy of book "The Women With Silver Wings: The Inspiring True Story of the Women Airforce Service Pilots of World War II," by Katherine Sharp Landdeck, Ph.D.. The cover is a black and white photo of four women walking between two rows of airplanes while wearing dark blue pants and light blue or white shirts, holding parachutes over their shoulders. The letters of the title are bright blue - representing a bold, sunny sky. A color picture of Katherine Sharp Landdeck, arm and arm with WASP of WWII Mary Regalbutto Jones. They are in Oshkosh, Wisconsin in the summer of 1997 and standing in front of a banner made by WASP Shutsy Reynolds saying Oshkosh 1997, having the symbol of the Women Military Aviators, and filled with signatures of everyone who had entered the WASP tent that week. Kate had interviewed Mary, they had become fast friends, and Kate had promised Mary to tell her story and the story of her fellow WASPs far and wide for the rest of her days.

Pretty impressive that the guy who wants to — and probably will be —SECDEF can’t name a single ASEAN country.

Absolute clown show.

Duckworth: How many nations are in ASEAN?

Hegseth: We have allies in South Korea, Japan, and Australia

NEW: Meta has quietly dismantled the system that prevented misinformation from spreading in the United States. Machine-learning classifiers that once identified viral hoaxes and limited their reach have now been switched off, Platformer has learned www.platformer.news/meta-ends-mi...
Behind the scenes, the company was also quietly dismantling a system to prevent the spread of misinformation. When the company announced on Jan. 7 that it would end its fact-checking partnerships, the company also instructed teams responsible for ranking content in the company’s apps to stop penalizing misinformation, according to sources and an internal document obtained by Platformer. The result is that the sort of viral hoaxes that ran roughshod over the platform during the 2016 US presidential election — “Pope Francis endorses Trump,” Pizzagate, and all the rest — are now just as eligible for free amplification on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads as true stories.
