Read this deeply reported piece on immigration, the military and one family's journey.

Important story here by @gregjaffe@bsky.social on the Army’s struggle to catch up to drone warfare. Will its innovators be able to bring along establishment ground pounders, who’ve always been slow to grasp new battlefield realities, from WW2 thru Vietnam, Afghanistan & Iraq?
The Army’s Race to Catch Up in a World of Deadly Drones. Terrific photos and video from Meridith Kohut.

@GregJaffe: These are dangerous times for the U.S. military. A war, a divisive domestic mission and a force in grave danger of being politicized.

>一部の教授たちは、陸軍士官学校側が教育プログラムを擁護すると考えていた。しかしアカデミーの幹部は、人種、性別、アメリカ史の暗い側面に焦点を当てた教材を排除を全校的に求める方針を進めた。

英語と歴史の2つの授業がこの新方針に従わなかったため、学期の途中で中止された。

U.S:Hegseth blocks promotions of seven Navy officers, five of them women or people of color, a highly unusual move that means that for the first time in more than a decade no female active-duty naval officers are likely to be promoted to admiral.

@GregJaffe This article is really about two defendants separated by almost ten years, both cases involving a mix of crime, grace, and mercy. No matter your view of either crime, it's a beautiful picture of how hard criminal sentencing is in every case.
November 20, 2024 at 2:57 PM
I've been struck by this @GregJaffe article about one of the January 6 defendants and how hard it is to decide what sentence would be fair. Each defendant is far more than the one terrible event bringing them into court, but how do you balance everything? https://wapo.st/3QsDKxx

Disney is ALL FACADE like so many other publicly traded corporations with a major customer facing presence. They treat their workers (cast members) belying the "friendliest place on earth" bullshit and pay most of them as little as possible. Double whammy for many now.
