What a load of bullshit. Sailors are doing fine with beards right now, every day. You can wear a helmet and a gas mask with a beard. I hope there are lawsuits about this because it’s so clearly designed to drive Black sailors out. Just another dumb self-own by this regime of racist idiots.
“The operational success of the US Navy demands the readiness of all sailors. Mission accomplishment hinges on stringent compliance with standards and ensuring policies are clear, unambiguous, and compliant with law and regulations, “ the memo reads. “Grooming standards add to sailor and mission safety and ensure the safe and proper utilization of protective equipment in
All naval environments and operational conditions.”

Israel’s position today, I would argue, has more to do with Bibi going all in on Trump than it does with Gaza. The trend of drop in support for Israelis happens well before 2023. He’s inextricably tied Israel to one of the most hated human beings on the planet.

Anne Frank died of typhus in the concentration camp
Screenshot of a skeet. Text reads incidentally the Franks were a German refugee family who fled to the Netherlands in 1934 the moral challenges facing their Dutch neighbors were not entirely similar to those facing Americans over whether to help a newly anti-refugee government deport Somalis or Venezuelans to unsafe countries.

Can anyone give me a reasonable explanation for why there was a dude wearing a pith helmet, suit, and cravat in the lobby of a downtown office building at 8:45 am on a Wednesday? Like, it’s giving Thurston Howell III.

Get back to me when you read about Israel’s numerous offers to return land outside the 1967 borders. The Kartoum Resolution is a good place to start. Screen cap is from Wikipedia but you can read about it widely

I think you missed my second sentence. I was making the same point you were that there is space to keep Jewish students safe without ICE involvement.
That being said this whole illegal rendition and trampling of due process is obscene and horrifying.
