The serial set of episodes on each episode of Masters of the Air is phenomenal!
@HerbertHistory kills it every day.

Surveys intended to understand the Army's recruiting problems found that young people don't see it as a safe place or good career path. Army leaders said few were deterred by “wokeness,” and that concerns about discrimination were seen as a bigger issue. apne.ws/tf4yyP8

Anyone who says (in any form) that your vote doesn't matter is engaging in voter suppression.
It may come from ignorance instead of evil, but it's still voter suppression.

Via @ProjRecover: For #UDel's Mark Moline, the search for MIAs adds a human connection to his work as an oceanographer that makes it even more enticing than making a scientific discovery alone. projectrecover.org/the-scien…
