#DallasForPrez #Thoughts #Thread Our military is facing an ongoing enlistment problem and it boils down to one thing, how we treat our vets. If elected, I will be addressing this with an innovative plan that will pay for itself in savings and protect our Vets.
As a nation, we have programs on top of programs to assist our vets. They do a great job and would be more effective if they had less to do. Currently though, we’re addressing the issues facing our vets at the wrong moment in time.
Our vets need to be taken care of before they become a vet. They need to be helped before they fully transition out of the military itself. This is going to take a culture change and a reorganization of resources.

BREAKING: NYT investigation: Internal Facebook records show that the company gave Microsoft, Amazon, Netflix and other tech giants far more intrusive access to your personal data than it ever disclosed nyti.ms/2Cmpm5q
Bombshell Thread: For years, Facebook gave some of the world’s largest technology companies more intrusive access to users’ personal data than it has disclosed, effectively exempting those business partners from its usual privacy rules, according to internal records & interviews.
The special arrangements are detailed in hundreds of pages of Facebook documents obtained by The NYT. The records, generated in 2017 by the company’s internal system for tracking partnerships, provide the most complete picture yet of the social network’s data-sharing practices.

What the hell is happening between #Hungary and #Ukraine, why are diplomatic tensions rising dramatically?

Thread for CEE&Hungary watchers, and for journalists covering the topic!

bbc.com/news/world-eur…
It all started last year with Ukraine’s new education law requiring more Ukrainian language education for minorities who previously had much bigger autonomy. This ‘reform’ is a tool of Ukrainian nation-building&was primarily aimed at restricting Russian language education.
Collateral damage occurred as Polish, Romanian&Hungarian minorities were affected as well. Poland&Romania managed to solve the situation with Ukraine through negotiations but Hungary went berserk instead. Here’s a very good summary in English by @OSW_eng:
