Does anyone know the "why" behind letting them have an airbase in Idaho?

Are American citizens being disappeared? Yes.

Are American citizens who are veterans of the US Armed Forces being disappeared? Yes.

Without warrant or probable cause—solely based on skin color—Trump goons captured and caged a citizen veteran for days.

This is a fascist regime.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

@timmiller.bsky.social talked to a veteran who ICE wrongly detained and brutalized

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) says he has been denied 4 times to see what is going on inside the Broadview, IL ICE facility:

"Something's going on in there that they don't want us to see. I don't know what it is, but all Americans should be asking the same question."

🚨 Retired Major Richard Ojeda explains the danger of “floating the use of the 82nd Airborne Division on American soil.” His message needs to be heard. Veterans, retired and active, are aware of the Posse Comitatus Act. The U.S. military is not to attack our own citizens. 1/2

Ugh! This is absolutely awful! The fishing boats Trump is blowing up are from Venezuela.
Why would she say that?
What is her motive?

Correction: Anat was actually on with Michael Berk managing editor at "The Ink" not Wajahat Ali.

TRUMP DID NOT WIN THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE THIS YEAR! 💙🎉🎈

Kathy @kathyresists.bsky.social · 16h

Is he really that ignorant about the Nobel Peace Prize?

Kathy @kathyresists.bsky.social · 1d

It sounds like you have a good relationship with him and that he trusts you enough to ask hard questions. That's so important and really awesome.

He possibly hears or sees inappropriate stuff at school (I work in education). My parents generation was appalled by the Archie Bunker character and Meathead in "All In The Family." I guess media continually stretches the boundaries in every generation. It's challenging!

The Trump administration is finally following the law and forgiving student loan debt for eligible borrowers, because AFT stood up to Trump & McMahon to demand it. That's the power of unions. www.businessinsider.com/student-loan...

Student-loan forgiveness is back on for 2 million borrowers

Student-loan borrowers who met the payment threshold under income-based repayment plans are receiving forgiveness emails.

It was on Substack. They had a few audio glitches but definitely worth the listen!

Wajahat Ali did an entire broadcast today with Anat Shankar Osorio & that was the topic of the hour. She talked about messaging and how every city 47 invades needs mascots like the Frog along with music, a party atmosphere, etc.,. She also spoke about overall Democratic messaging & No Kings/18th. 👍
