This is a disgrace, and it directly impacts our military readiness. Some 1,300 Navy family members were evacuated from Bahrain during the Iran war. Months later, families are still displaced, separated from loved ones, struggling financially, and waiting for answers. #SupportTheTroops 🧵

One week out, and this is where “I’ll do it later” starts costing people. If somebody in your family keeps saying they’ll get around to it, call them. If your coworker just moved and has been meaning to update everything, remind them.

Personally don't recommend these. As the article notes, these properties are typically achieved through PFAS, which can shed carcinogens in your home (which you then inhale) or come out in the wash (polluting waterways for decades). Will try to do a thread on how to treat stains in the wash.

Do stain-resistant clothes work? Amazingly yes. Wirecutter testers were shocked at how effectively these white shirts repelled liquid stains. nyti.ms/3QCaIzB

Stationing ICE at military graduations on Parris Island is Trump telling Latino servicemembers that they do not belong. If ICE is willing to come after graduating servicemembers and their families, who will they target next?
