@OakbrowF@JoaquinCastrotx Ok, well the troops have been working out in more than boots and utes well before I went to boot camp. Getting upset because the troops are wearing workout clothes and sneakers is a weird thing to get wrapped around the axle over.
@OakbrowF@JoaquinCastrotx Back in your day must have been quite a long time ago. I joined the Marines in 1999 and we PT'd in shorts and running shoes, too.
Meet Alena Analeigh McQuarter, a 17-year-old phenomenon and unstoppable young queen rewriting history in STEM and medicine! 👏🏽
At just 13 years old, she made history as the youngest Black student ever accepted into a U.S. medical school (University of Alabama at Birmingham Heersink School of Medicine).
Now at 17, this powerhouse has already achieved what most only dream of:
• Graduated high school at 12
• Earned her Bachelor’s in Biomedical Sciences and Master’s in Biological Sciences (both Summa Cum Laude) from Arizona State University by age 15
• Became the youngest person of color to intern at NASA (at just 12)
• Founded The Brown STEM Girl and The Brown STEM Girl Foundation — creating scholarships, mentorship programs, and global opportunities for girls of color in STEM
• Conducting advanced research in cancer immunology, virology, and global health
• Pursuing her PhD in Integrated Biomedical Sciences (focus on infection, immunity & inflammation) at Loma Linda University while on the path to her MD/PhD
• Initiated into Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. as one of the youngest members
From Texas to NASA to the frontiers of medicine — Alena’s journey is a powerful testament to discipline, brilliance, and purpose. She’s not just breaking barriers… she’s building bridges for every young Black girl behind her.
Her story is a powerful one. Keep shining, Queen! 👏🏽
@TheTNHoller You guys REALLY need to stop helping Candace Owens try to rehab her image. She has done immense harm to our country and no apology tour is going to be enough to repair that damage. Let her grift on a GOP-esque site.
@nexta_tv This is no different than the kids who lied to join the US military during World War II. That said, how much of a grasp did he have of the politics in Nigeria? Maybe he should STILL be one to watch.
@theGrio Can we PLEASE stop trying to let @RealCandaceO back into the fold? She broke her own plate a LONG time ago. She's just trying to come back because that MAGA money has dried up.
“You’ve been targeted by the government unfairly. I think you should apply.”
@Timodc encourages @brotherjones_ to apply for Trump’s “weaponization” slush fund - since he was actually targeted, unlike the insurrectionists who will get paid for actual crimes. (H/T @BulwarkOnline)
@YzaguirreG20062@AdamKinzinger And that still doesn't justify Chud shooting him. That said, why are you so hell-bent on being an apologist for a racist?
@PhillyMan8823@ChudTheBuilder Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire (1942) recognizes that language that is being purposely used to incite people to violence is not protected speech, so his antics actually show that HE is the unstable one.
