60 minutes had reporters embedded with my unit during the worst fighting throughout the entirety of the Afghanistan war. They aired our field memorial. Friends and family saw my face on 60 minutes and knew for the first time in months that I was still alive. We’ll never see that transparency again.

Silencing freedom of the press. Essential for all dictators.

How many September 11’s worth of victims is Israel allowed to kill with our munitions built to fight terrorism?

So horrific. Another double-tap on rescue workers. “Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health said more than 3,100 people have been killed by Israeli attacks since March 2” www.commondreams.org/news/israel-...

First President in American history to say either of the following: “I’m not a rapist” “I didn’t rape anybody” “I’m not a pedophile”

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Pope Leo XIV: Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers. But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.

And still, veterans support this

“They were going to come. It was going to be a big thing. We were going to go to the beach right after. All those plans had to go out the window because they said ICE would be here."

ABC’s whole pre-launch is just discussing all the things that can go wrong. Then some of how cool the science it, and a dash of “isn’t this pointless?” I get it. But the hour before the launch isn’t the time I’m going to blank out the world for thirty seconds and watch rocket ship go vroom to moon

I was honored to close out Austin’s No Kings. All speakers had Spanish and ASL translations and were phenomenal. Over 80 organizations tabled to sign up our 35,000 attendees. No Kings is not a day. It’s a commitment requiring more work every time you wake up.

41 years old, evacuated here legally, asylum case pending, kidnapped while driving his six children (one a US citizen) to school. Dead within 24 hours. Betrayed and murdered by the United States government. 42nd confirmed and reported death in ICE custody under Trump.

Ukraine is sending interceptor drones and operators to help NATO countries and their boss Israel. Russia is providing Intelligence and arms to Iran. Tell me how this isn’t a World War? And we STILL won’t let Ukraine into NATO. We suck.

cnn.comExclusive: Russia is giving Iran specific advice on drone tactics, Western intelligence source saysOvernight Iranian attacks come as Israel unleashes new bombardment of Tehran and US targets Iran’s navy near the Strait of Hormuz.

One of my kid’s favorite books. My toddler had me read it tonight. He loves pointing at the baby in the Iranian family. I wonder if we killed Kian and his baby sister yet. I wonder if they’re reading together as oil rains down and their streets burst into flames.

It’s literally raining oil over a city of 10 Million people and the graves of 150 little girls we murdered. Welcome to America’s Global War of Terror

At the funeral of Rev. Jesse Jackson. Rep. Jones and I walk in his footsteps. Our story isn’t possible without the work, advocacy, Organizing, and struggle of Rev. Jackson. Rest in power.

Man, it’s going to be super cool when all of our interceptors, tomahawks, and patriot-3 missiles are gone. And knowing that, China invades Taiwan, we throw our kill switches on our semiconductor making factories, and then we have no missiles or drones for a few years during the world war we started.

So the State Department is forcing everyone to immediately leave the region but is also refusing to help people leave the region. The strike itself is illegal and disastrous but their lack of readiness for what comes next is unforgivable as well. Incompetence everywhere.

What is war? My roommate lost his legs on Easter. Not lost like how you lose your keys, Or a countries dignity. Shredded, torn, vaporized feet first. My Team Leader lost both his too. Gone, but not forgotten. Not while the phantom pains from top to bottom. He only found them once his lips turn-

The Taliban is waging an offensive against Pakistan. With $85 Billion of American military equipment. Carrying rifles stamped with the serial numbers a generation of combat Veterans can still recite. Our rifles had names. Our trucks had names. And now I’m watching them driven and fired by my enemy

The America I fought for is dead and gone. Something new is rising, it must be us that forges it, not them.

The message from the DOJ is unmistakable: Justice is no longer the objective. Retribution is.

On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed E.O. 9066, authorizing the forced relocation & incarceration of more than 125,000 Japanese Americans, solely because of their heritage.

First we heard that his name was mentioned more times than Harry Potters name was in all seven books. But with over 1,000,000 mentions, we now know that he is mentioned more times than the total amount of words in all seven Harry Potter books combined.

This is maga.

NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.

A backgrounder is someone who conducts background checks.

Bloomington police announce arrests in sex trafficking bust: "Rashad Johnson out of Maple Grove. This is the most disturbing arrest that we've had here. He is a backgrounder for ICE, Homeland Security, and federal agencies."

Local and state police can have warrants for the attackers at any time. At any time. They’re allowing this to happen.

ICE officials said he ran into a wall, which doctors immediately rejected as inconsistent with the wounds. The immigrant's account - that he was beaten in the head by steel batons, contrary to DHS guidelines - is more plausible. But no accountability exists for him, or us. apnews.com/article/immi...

Every single one can still have a warrant written for them for violating this law. And search warrants for the rosters of every operation knowingly violating the law. DA can do it. AG can do it.

“It could introduce tremendous cybersecurity vulnerabilities,” he argued. “We don’t know if these people have US driver’s licenses.” “It’s one thing when a taxi is replaced by an Uber or a Lyft,” Markey concluded. “It’s another thing when the jobs just go completely overseas.”
