Thanks. For some reason I was trying to make an acronym out of it. That’s what I do for every other government agency.

I’m in the dumbest situation. I was a federal employee so I don’t know what normal people mean when they say the Fed.
Every comment is only calling it the Fed.
I’ve read too many New York Time articles to see what we are talking about because I’m not subscribed.
Not just asking for me but for anybody in a similar situation; what is the full organization name of the Fed?

LeadSoldierto THE POLICE PROBLEM•"When you see things like 'kill cops', 'all cops are bastards' painted on your walls, it makes it pretty hard to show up to work."English38·1 year agoI’m a veteran.
PTSD from combat and gun stuff.
I call the crisis line due to PTSD episode and panic attack.
Cops with guns drawn show up to determine if I should be committed against my will.
I have to fake my way through a panic attack to convince them I’m fine.
They believe me and leave me alone.
I wonder what the next steps are.
Fuck cops.

I think the president and the DEA can just move it down the made-up list of scientifically inaccurate fear-mongering.

I’m glad they are calling this out publicly. It’s helpful to know which awards aren’t worth considering.
LeadSoldierto politics •DeSantis vows to help man charged with beheading Iowa Capitol’s Satanic Temple statue28·1 year agoThe fact that the supreme Court can use that argument is insane. Is not washing our hands before surgery American tradition? Is slavery American tradition? Just because we’ve done something before, doesn’t make it legal in any other topic area.
Americans also just renamed some of their Christian holidays in order to pretend that there’s equality. My daughter still has to do homework during Chanukkah every night but gets the week of Christmas off but now the same exact vacation from school is called “winter break” so it’s totally “not religious now.”
This is a troll, or somebody so rude that they would give a passive aggressive answer like that. Either way it is worthy of being ignored.
LeadSoldierto politics •Pentagon Has Investigated Dozens of Extremism Cases Within Its Ranks10·1 year agoNo they haven’t. Even if you report them to the FBI, they will get referred to the military’s counterintelligence commands, like the Army’s 902nd military intelligence group. These are mostly the right leaning folk who joined the military to be cops. In one of my interviews with the counterintelligence agents he basically started answering his own questions and then just told me he was going to get somebody to vouch for the person. My identity was apparently leaked because multiple people know, including the commander, the investigator, the other people who work in the office where the person being reported also works. I’m sure I’ll find out later that he knows as well. It’s all a shell game. The exception to FBI policy was specifically built so that the military could hide these things. Giving commanders the ability to look the other way on crimes gives them a special power over people and a special knowledge of how to get away with illegal acts. The people they want to succeed can get away with anything and the people that are the wrong race or religion or whatever. Just get to deal with some dude that joined the army and now has power over him. The rules were written this way on purpose.

LeadSoldierto World News•Abandoned babies found decomposing in Gaza hospital weeks after it was evacuatedEnglish18·1 year agoI went down that rabbit hole when I was trying to understand why the far right was interested in supporting Israel while simultaneously being anti-semitic and working alongside Nazis. Most people in the middle or left don’t understand how crazy this is. Many members of our government are literally trying to enact some biblical nestradamus bullshit to bring forth the end of times as described in the book of Revelations.
I’m a liberal Jew so it took a lot of reading to understand what the fuck they wanted end times to come for, but I guess it is so that they are then saved? As a non-Christian this seems weird and obviously cult-like but here we are.

The only optimistic point I have is that Russia doesn’t respect its assets and sees them as traders to their countries. That means when they are past their usefulness Russia will burn them and brag about how powerful they are. For once in an intelligence operation we may actually get to see the dirty details revealed about these bastards.
LeadSoldierto THE POLICE PROBLEM•Virginia cops are ruled 'justified' in second shooting of meth-addled woman, but "the body-worn camera footage will not be released"English11·1 year agoI don’t understand how the police can prevent public information from being released. They are just government employees and that is the people’s information. If it’s not classified due to national security reasons or a specific foia reason then this should be released without question.
I have some around my house because I switched all of my cables to usb-C. I bought a six pack on Amazon.
