Someone asked me a good question on here. How do we stop ICE from violating our constitutional rights. We don't. Our local elected officials do that job. Our Governor, or Sheriffs our mayors, Police. They stop ICE. With force if necessary. That's how you stop ICE from pulling us out of our homes.

Admiral Bradley is set to brief Congress tomorrow on the boat strikes—
Which brings Admiral Holsey’s recent resignation to mind, after he informed Hegseth that he had no intention of carrying out an illegal order after 40 years of service in the U.S. Navy—
I’d like to hear Holsey’s testimony too

War Crimes. Cut and Dry. Fog of war? Dude, it's a speedboat. Disabled. Not moving. In the middle of the ocean. Zero threat. Apparently this "major" didn't get enough real action when he was in the military and now wants to play frat boy video games with real lives.

When a full moon is closer to Earth in its orbit, a supermoon happens. The moon looks up to 14% bigger and 30% brighter than normal.
Thursday night’s event will be the last of three Full Supermoons in a row for 2025.
Moonrise is around 5pm on Thursday for Indianapolis.
Look northeast.
