They’ve also purged a story on the website about the Navaho Code Talkers. > **[Defense Department pulls Jackie Robinson story](https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/44316899/defense-department-removes-story-robinson-military-service)** > > The Department of Defense deleted a story on its website that highlighted Jackie Robinson's military service, with the original URL redirecting to one that added the letters "dei" in front of "sports-heroes." Never seen a political party having such contempt for American veterans. I half expect Trump to sign an executive order changing Veterans Day to Trump Day, which will be devoted to celebrating the Dear Leader’s accomplishments. > [@Max\_](#): > > When even X/Twitter censors your content for being too extreme… DId they really take that post down? My impression of Twitter is that you’d have to make a direct violent threat against a specific person for them to take action, and probably not even then. ---

And what is her basis for a citizenship claim. I certainly don’t have paperwork that shows any of my ancestors were naturalized, so I’m an anchor baby at anywhere from 3 to many generations. One of my grandmother’s family traces back to the 1700’s, but my particular branch ran off to Canada for a generation or two, before coming back. Can’t tell if they were Loyalists fleeing or taking advantage of freed up farmland when the Arcadians got the boot (or maybe a combination). ---

She wasn’t allowed to bring the dog on board so she drowned it on a toilet then hopped on the flight. And she might’ve gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for the dog’s microchip, it’s collar with her name and phone number on it, all the cameras that saw her enter with the dog and leave without it and the airport staff she interacted with while she still had the dog with her.

There are very few closeable doors that the public has access to on the secure side of an airport. One of the core principals of secure design is leave nowhere someone could park a bomb or other contraband unseen then nonchalantly walk away. Even most restroom entrances are just serpentine passageways, not doors. Not impossible to find stall doors that would contain a large not-panicked dog long enough to make your escape. But if the dog was something small, such as an irritating Pekinese, drowning was the only solution. A final solution. ---
