A scramble to rebuild depleted ranks at the FBI and Justice Department
The FBI and Justice Department are scrambling to rebuild a depleted workforce after a wave of departures over the last year. In response, leaders are easing hiring requirements and accelerating recruitment in ways that some current and former officials see as a lowering of long-accepted standards. The FBI has turned to social media campaigns to attract applicants, while also condensing training for candidates from other federal agencies and relaxing internal requirements for support staff seeking to be agents. The Justice Department has opened the door to hiring prosecutors right out of law school to help fill vacancies in U.S. attorney’s offices.

As I walk along the marvelous Fifth Avenue in marvelous New York City I pass many souvenir stores selling Tshirts, coffee mugs, baseball caps and so on. I was always surprised to see so much anti-American Trump crap. I mean come on can’t they buy that MAGA crap back home in Alabama? I am pleased to report that nearly all that stuff is gone. Things are changing for the better!
geekystevenAntifa isn't an organization, but if it was, I'd join.
It's not funded by secretive woke billionaires, but if it was I'd cash that check.
There isn't an antifacsist HQ hidden in the Appalachian mountains, but if there was I'd carefully label my lunch in the break room fridge and trust that my workers would respect it.
Antifa is not a cryptid who appears in the periphery only to be vaguely perceived, but if it was I would make out with it.

DrALJONESReport: "We need technical experts negotiating with Iran, not real estate dealers."
"The 2015 [Obama] deal was negotiated by technical experts & physicists who understood how nuclear weapons are made. Under [that] agreement, Iran could not build a bomb."
“Under what circumstances would you put a couple of real estate dealers & nepo babies in charge of these negotiations?”

A-Dub 🥝a new study from the University of Hawaii at Mānoa has debunked the colonial myth that Indigenous people hunted waterbird species to extinction.
“So much of science is biased by the notion that humans are inevitable agents of ecocide, and we destroy nature wherever we go. This idea has shaped the dominant narrative in conservation, which automatically places the blame for extinctions on the First People—the Indigenous people—of a place,” said Kawika Winter, associate professor at Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB) and co-author of the paper.
“Our study not only dispels this myth, but also contributes to a growing body of evidence that Indigenous stewardship represents the best ways for native birds to thrive in a world where humans are not going away,”.
