I served my country for almost 12 years and probably would have done 20+ if it wasn’t for my medical stuff. I never thought I’d see the day where shame is the overwhelming feeling I get when I think about what this country has become. It’s just sad…

Disabling transponders to avoid tracking. Good god.

Gillian Brockell @gbrockell.bsky.social · Sep 21

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable.

This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.

From me for @rollingstone.com:

ICE Is Deporting People to Africa on Nearly Un-Trackable Military Flights

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is deporting people to African countries like Ghana on military flights that are nearly un-trackable.

Today as we come together to reflect on the horrific attacks our nation endured 24 years ago, take a moment to learn about one of the innocent lives lost. Keep their legacy alive. Remember our first responders & military who demonstrated extraordinary courage that day & in the years that followed.

At this point the U.S. has turned into choosing which rich person to vote for so that they and their much richer friends can get even richer. All while the people who voted for them don’t even know where their next meal is coming from.

The most patriotic thing you can do is RESIST tyranny, racism, bigotry, and the rich stomping on the throats of the poor.

While prevalent in veterans, PTSD is not limited to only those who have served in the military. Anyone who has been through a trauma in their lives (SA, abuses, etc.) may suffer. Many suffer in silence. It’s ok to ask for help; it’s a strength, not a weakness. #PTSDAwareness

But Israel stoked the fire, and gave them a reason. What did you think was going to happen.

I want to get one thing completely clear as someone who has been through the Strait of Hormuz many times, & looked down the barrel (literally) of the missile launchers along the coast; I will NEVER, nor have I ever defend(ed) Iran.

“Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state, were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as "Juneteenth," by the newly freed people in Texas.”

Americans are speaking out. Americans are resisting a wanna be dictator. Americans are coming out in the MILLIONS to say enough is enough.

This is was patriotism and democracy looks like.

Those of us who have / continue to serve in the military swear to uphold the constitution of the United States of America against enemies foreign and domestic FIRST. We uphold our oaths regardless if the president does or not. We’re not the president’s services members we’re the country’s.

June is Pride month, however being an ally is 24/7 365. Now, and always let people love who they love. Fight for EVERYONE to be afforded the same rights, protections, and privileges regardless of who that may be. #PrideMonth #Ally #LoveIsLove
