“Reckless disregard”?

@nytopinion⁩ never bothered to check ⁦@nytimes⁩’ reporting 1/

Reckless ‘power’ or ‘honest mistake’? Palin’s and New York Times’s lawyers make their final cases in libel trial washingtonpost.com/media/2022/02/…
@nytimes’ own reporting re one key fact:

Targets on congressional districts, #1A protects;

vs.

Targets on US Representatives or people.

Never bothered to check.

If that not “reckless disregard,” nothing is.

Sad!

@DanLamothe⁩, ⁦@CENTCOM⁩ can best help by making it easier to request Letters of Recommendation for SIV and to request P2 referrals.

Biden’s pick to lead military in Middle East says U.S. has a ‘moral obligation’ to help Afghans left behind washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
@USACEHQ has created a simple system that at least intends to try to be helpful, though tracking the next steps after confirmation of employment under a USACE-supported contract is still pending.

@afghanevac

There are people of good will trying to help but require an active organization at @CENTCOM with whom to communicate about how to validate claimed employment or for current officials to prepare Letters of Recommendation, etc. for SIV, P2.

Will CENTCOM walk the walk?

@truthisbest5 @shawnjvandiver @tathompsonKS @TedMartin1775 @CallsignBarbie @USArmy @FortBelvoirVA @FortMeadeMD @SkepticalJAG @NavyTimes @WRBethesda @Reuters @AP Okay, remember, this is a joke.

Decades ago, the Soviet Union decided to launch an operation to Win!

They knew that they couldn’t confront the USA and the West directly, so they had to confront us indirectly.

So they bypassed direct combat power.

@truthisbest5 @shawnjvandiver @tathompsonKS @TedMartin1775 @CallsignBarbie @USArmy @FortBelvoirVA @FortMeadeMD @SkepticalJAG @NavyTimes @WRBethesda @Reuters @AP Instead, they focused on what used to be known as routine support functions, computers, pay, personnel records, IG, travel, DTS, etc., etc.

They had their operatives join those functions, with instructions to create an organizational culture to serve Soviet objectives.

@truthisbest5 @shawnjvandiver @tathompsonKS @TedMartin1775 @CallsignBarbie @USArmy @FortBelvoirVA @FortMeadeMD @SkepticalJAG @NavyTimes @WRBethesda @Reuters @AP In other words, to go out of their way to cause deliberate dysfunction, forcing leadership to spend more of their 168 hours / week on internal engagements, self-licking ice cream cone, etc., and less in confronting our adversaries.

This includes the pay issues.

@washingtonpost⁩ ⁦@sarahellison⁩ ⁦@alice_crites⁩ ‘forgot’ to mention “reckless disregard” re falsity.

1/

Sarah Palin’s libel case against New York Times opens in Manhattan courtroom, a culture clash with lasting legal potential washingtonpost.com/media/2022/02/…
“Reckless disregard” NYT v. Sullivan (1964) was the second part of “actual malice” and is why @nytimes will lose and @SarahPalinUSA will win.

Issue is targets on congressional districts, Not representatives or people.

2/
@nytopinion not bothering to check the Times’ own supposedly factual reporting re the exact factual issue is clearly “reckless disregard as to whether it was false or not.” Sullivan (1964)

WaPo should know this.

@LuisMorenolg @WendellAlbright @pigjowls Thank you.

I am reasonably confident that many people have taken positions on such topics without reviewing the materials, which is why I think curriculum transparency can actually be helpful to address any misconceptions on the part of the public.

1/
@LuisMorenolg @WendellAlbright @pigjowls CRT has become a shorthand for considering new perspectives on racial and other issues in our country, both now and in the study of our history.

I have found that effective training does make me uncomfortable, but the introspection is valuable.

2/
@LuisMorenolg @WendellAlbright @pigjowls Best example is unconscious bias training - excellent!

In my experience, all effective training must be well thought out.

However, the newly energized DEI consultant industry, like any other, has varying degrees of quality and effectiveness.

@Dina_Albayati @itsapurdy Unfortunately , what is even more difficult and frustrating is the knowledge - now confirmed - that a significant proportion (40%, as I understand) of the random people we flew out of Kabul last August were not our Afghan Allies - SIV, P1, P2 - but corrupt Kabul elites.

1/
@Dina_Albayati @itsapurdy They shoved our Afghan Allies aside and bullied and bribed their way into the airport in front of more deserving people, who don’t need the Afghan Adjustment Act because Americans, through Congress, already decided long ago to welcome them.

2/
@Dina_Albayati @itsapurdy I find it very difficult to advocate for the Afghan Adjustment Act (AAA) for this very reason.

Furthermore, I recall concerns re criminal patronage networks (search Afghanistan Corruption in Conflict for @SIGARHQ reports) and wonder whether anyone cares any more.

@HumaAbedin, thank you for sharing your story in your book.

@ScribnerBooks @simonschuster @tsgarp2000, here are fact-checking and suggested copy edits.

1/
Page 92, I think it's "West Executive Avenue."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Exec…

@WhiteHouse should please check signage for conformity.

@CarolLeonnig

2/
Page 146, although our great @DeptVetAffairs supports veterans, any "discharge notice" or DD214 would be issued by the @DeptofDefense.

Page 246. Unlike organizations reporting directly to the Secretary, SRAP doesn't include the slash in its acronym.
