I was OUT when you started with 'Cougar' - Didn't even wait to hear whether the reference was human or animal. (Black) Bears around here start running when humans are around. A Mountain Lion sees you and calculates how it can come out on top. Only a javalina worries me worse.

I served with men that had 'no shave' waivers - It's a non-issue that doesn't affect their readiness and capability but seems to be used as a horrendous method to start purging Blacks from the military.

It's even ironic that Meta *doesn't* use AI to identify the thousands of "AGENT LINDA SMITH" profiles - These "Tech Bros" can't use AI where it would actually be useful.

All while she besmirches veterans fired from Federal service as "not fit to have a job" - If that was true, it means the VA owes them disability compensation.

Both he and Senator Heinrich voted to confirm Doug Collins as the Secretary of the VA - Collins announced plans today to fire another 72,000 VA employees (a 15% cut in personnel). Alina Habba, Trump's lawyer, is saying fired veterans weren't "fit to have a job" - So they get disability compensation?

I missed this being posted by USCIS a couple of days ago; "Aliens" of any age that have not been fingerprinted and registered during a visa process are now have that requirement, by an Executive Order from Trump. Link to the USCIS page in the lead comment.

Well, I'm in the ER on my phone - The electrolyte drink that was here is a little bitter too; I only was able to take a couple of swigs before they grabbed it away from me. P.S., I'm having to type with my middle finger because of the oximeter on my index.

Since the change from the Biden administration to Trump's 2nd term, the USCIS page on Facebook is making posts about immigration fraud and pushing on advertising H-1B Visas. Do you want to know what they aren't posting about now? Naturalization ceremonies - including those about immigrants serving.

So an immigrant from a specific country wants to change our immigration laws to make it easier for other countrymen can immigrate? - Isn't that what they project on to Latinos?

He didn't understand the civic policies of the country he immigrated to - and wants to change our immigration laws to be based on race and country of origin (isn't that what is projected at Hispanic immigrants?); White South Africans can immigrate "legally", as if that is so easy for everyone else:

Why does Musk want to change our immigration policies back to being by nationality *and* race factors? We left that shit behind sixty years ago. Here's the phrase for (white) South Africans to immigrate: "Do it legally." If Musk and other MAGA think it is easy for others to do, that is the path...

This is a post from USCIS *last year* that came up on my "Memories" today (I liked sharing the images of all the naturalization ceremonies, including for servicemembers) - USCIS isn't doing that this year (there haven't been any posts about naturalizations either). Sad.
