Global mail carriers suspend U.S. deliveries amid confusion over new import duties — NBC News

Postal services in Britain, France, Germany and elsewhere said they would stop shipping parcels to the U.S. ahead of the end of a trade loophole known as de minimis.

it's so crazy how the abbreviation for pound is lb and everyone is like yeah sure ok

Who is ready for spring? Cause I sure am! #Art #MastoArt #Spring

A Mallard duck stares into the lens as if to say "you looking at me?" The image was captured on an overcast winter day at Union Point park in New Bern, North Carolina. Bordering on the Neuse River, the facility is a popular place for outdoor weddings and concerts.

Black folk are 13% of the US population but:
19% of Active Duty
9% of Officers
6.5% of Generals.

Yes, Black representation thins out as we head to leadership and top brass. Discrimination. Happens.

But do you know of another industry* in the US where 9% of the managers are Black, and 6% of the VPs / Partners are Black?

Compare to tech, venture capital, law, medicine, etc. For reference, ~1% of law firm partners are Black.

(And yes I said industry.😬)

@mekkaokereke And when millions of acres were given away to homesteading white pioneers, blacks were not included.

Strive to make your workplace, school, and neighbourhood more diverse than the US military.

Vote for politicians that understand that medical bankruptcy shouldn't even be a thing, and that housing should be affordable.

Don't let racists take away service members' right to vote by mail, just because the military voted against fascism.

Hire and support vets. Help them transition when they leave the military.

Recognize that vets come in all colors, genders, and sexual orientations.
