If you’ve never been in the military please understand the majority of us served for you.

We sacrificed time for you.

Most of us are not war mongers.

We served and fought for you.

Unfortunately right now the military is getting used as pawns for a dictator.

Why are we, the American people, not filing a Class Action lawsuit, suing the trump administration, SCOTUS, and the Heritage Foundation for treason, insurrection, and conspiracy to overthrow our Democracy, Constitution and system of government? Is there a reason that can’t happen?

The reason Mike Johnson is able to keep the House closed and not pass bills to pay the military or fund the government is because Trump is going to circumvent congress and illegally steal that money from other government programs. All to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

People are spontaneously posting up near any laborers or street vendors they spot. Just saw a rapid responder guarding a man working on a building exterior. Many things are terrible today but lord, this stuff matters.

There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.

People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

The proof is in the pudding!
- If $Baire risk taker Citrone is made whole, fuck Dumpster!
- If Milei uses $$ to boost pensions, schools, the medical system,
He will likely win re-election in '27 against the Peronists (who ransacked the Treasury for 80 YRS to live luxe)

Dear fellow military pedants eager to point out the S70 and other civilian variants of the Blackhawk, or that it's a light transport helicopter used both in and out of combat -

We're not the target audience.

Kamala Harris: "Here in Chicago I'm told the helicopters that were descending on an American city were Black Hawks. Do you know what Black Hawks were designed to do? War. So I think everyone can draw their conclusions just based on the facts."

BBC News forget to explain that the UK helped create these rules when we were part of the EU because we wanted stronger border control

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

I'm hoping against hope that since we are within the midst of a shut down, that the facists won't have a chance to end HUD housing, but I'm sure that they'll still find a way to liquidate our social security trust fund.
