Since the story on the @DeptofDefense's website on Jackie Robinson has been deleted, here are the details of his service in the United States military.

In 1942, Robinson was drafted and reported to Fort Riley, Kansas. By early 1943, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant before joining the 761st tank battalion, also known as the Black Panthers.

A year later, after Robinson boarded an Army bus, the driver asked him to retreat to the back. Robinson refused -- more than a decade before Rosa Parks. Robinson was court martialed and later acquitted.

He spent the rest of his military service at Camp Breckinridge, where he coached Army athletics teams. Robinson was honorably discharged in November 1944.

The @DeptofDefense story on Jackie Robinson has been restored to its original URL. No longer does it redirect to one with the letters "dei" in it: https://t.co/fOV2UH2m7t

Now is as good a time as any to remind everyone that the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City (@NLBMuseumKC) exists to tell a deeply important American story -- one that is ultimately about triumph. Our history, good and bad, is all we have. Learning it is our duty.

@AdamUnger_7 Snakes On A Plane. Early college years. Whole theater seemed wasted. One of the rare movies that people talking the whole time made it better. Everyone genuinely having a blast. Plus a whole theater yelling in sync, “I’m sick of these MF snakes on this MF plane!”

One last time, if you missed it yesterday: I need to tell you a story about magic tricks, black holes, and superpowers.

Maybe this is for you, or maybe it's for someone you love. (unlocked, no sub required)

The trolley is barreling down the track towards five grandmothers. You can pull the switch and redirect it so that it kills no one. But you have to wear a mask to buy a toaster oven. What do you do?

Bout to bailout an industry that’ll get right back to charging me $40 a bag and cramming me inside a sardine can so I can hate the person in front of me for reclining for $400 and another industry that registers their fleet in foreign countries strategically for tax purposes 👏🏼👏🏼

I know there are much bigger problems in the world right now, but I fucking miss hugs.

@heathcummingssr I get my most passionate and coherent about fantasy baseball (or so I think) when I’ve been brewery hopping

[Justin Baker @jbaker5447]

@nikestore another pair of shoes, and spend hundreds more dollars with you if I can’t hope to wear something for a month worth of use and have them be worthless after?

[Justin Baker @jbaker5447]

@nikestore So a pair of shoes I have only worn a handful of times and look brand new are now useless. Regardless of the warranty, this is ridiculous for $220 shoes. The only thing I was offered to resolve this was a 20% off coupon for a future purchase. Why would I want to buy

[Justin Baker @jbaker5447]

@nikestore Do you guys not stand by the quality of your products? I have Air Max IDs from three years ago, but they’ve only been worn maybe 20-30 times. The bubble popped and I have no idea how. Nobody is helping me on the phone, and everyone is just saying it’s out of warranty.
