For all the dumbest reply guys, no this is not incitement to a coup, nor do you want one.

Trust me if you think the Woke Generals would run the country the way you want.

No not even close.

I mean ask a lot of people who claim Israel has no ties to MENA about the Israeli Black Panthers would be interesting.

Is there absolutely a large systemic issue with National Guard being incentivized against strictly enforcing the physical fitness standards due to recruiting and retention issues? Yes.

Will this reduce the manpower available in Chicago? No.

Is an invasion of Chicago the context we need? Also, no.

The Texas Military Department confirmed to @taskandpurpose.com it had replaced some of the 200 National Guard troops sent to Chicago for not being "in compliance" with validation standards. This came after photos of heavyset NG members were widely mocked. taskandpurpose.com/news/texas-n...

Some Texas National Guard troops replaced in Illinois after failing to meet standards

There’s been a lot of “they have to follow every order that’s not technically illegal so we’re fascists now” and “woke military coup now plz” on BlueSky.

I’m happy serious people are still taking things seriously.

I assume if this is accurate this is an original Dodd bow?

Probably worth the value of a car?

My friend Sascha is a professional musician and he's lost a viola bow on the way to Heathrow. Please signal boost to help him get it back.

Lost viola bow on the way from Honor Oak Station to Heathrow Terminal 2. The bow slid from its bow case somewhere along the way, possibly on the train. TFL contacted already.
It weighs 68.2 grams and has got a stamped DODD next to the frog. If any info on this, please pm me.

OOOPS! UPDATE: Two HHS officials tell me that disease detectives, measles response officers, global health officials and the MMWR staff were laid off by mistake and will be reinstated. But Washington office is still RIFed

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Trying to avoid going all “well acthually” about the minor differences in kit that would make it obvious who’s who.

That really doesn’t matter. The intersection of Military, Police, ‘Militia’ and ‘Operator’ has made it so they are indistinguishable by normal folks.

Time to end the warrior cop.

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 6h

The omniforce is accountable only to Trump: they ignore state and local guidance, or court decisions. Forget about knowing the identity of the official. Now you may not know which agency he works for, or even if he is an agent of the state.

two men wearing American flag facemasks and tactical gear.
Look at the picture above. One of these is a member of a private militia that supports the President and was involved in an violent effort to overturn the election, the other is an agent of the state. Can you tell the difference?

In hindsight the “one box that has your TV, Netflix, DVD, video games etc” was on point just terrible execution. Did the original box include the media remote? I don’t remember.

I wonder if autism diagnosis relies on much more than trains and ‘special interests’, especially in cultures and places that don’t have access to wealth, leisure, or consumption.

I imagine diagnosing someone in an Amish community looks different than the memes about Battletech?

Bad Medical Takes @badmedicaltakes.bsky.social · 7h

Twitter user jbazzrea: Old women cause autism, tylenol causes autism, vaccines cause autism. You know who has no autism? The Amish. "Old" men and women have kids and they have no autism. The Amish get no vaccines and take no medications. Let that sink in.

It’s an interesting to see the global homogenization of conservative culture to be defined by the American South through the lens of cowboy movies.

George Pearkes @peark.es · 8h

Funny trend I’m seeing on this trip: US brands coded as conservative being sold as chic over here. A Cabela’s hunting shirt being hawked at a Porto streetware thrift stall. A Stetson outlet in Chiado, Lisbon. All sorts of Carhartt logos, again as a fashion statement. It’s fascinating!

Great thread, read it and internalize what it means that this discussion is being applied to the US out of necessity.

🧵 I'm excited to share that my article "Democratic Backsliding and the Limits of Civilian Control of the Military" has been accepted @thejop.bsky.social.

It answers the question "how ought militaries act when civilian leaders turn on democratic institutions?"

Wargames Atlantic started a line of 32mm minis. First one is a LDS themed. Sadly it includes not a single weapon designed by John Moses Browning!

Looks like I’ll have to sacrifice a US Weapons sprue from Bolt Action to make it even better!

Dawg even if this was legal someone posted they’d pull from the WCF.

We now cashflow many WCF programs to keep them afloat because their input costs are higher then what they can charge.

What’s the second and third order effect if they get raided?

We gave them more than half their refined Aviation fuel for goodness sake!

Imagine fighting an air war without fuel!

Almost half of the aluminum used by the Soviet Union was lend lease.

“They moved their factories east of the Urals” because we sent them new machines to use in those factories!
