ICE detain active duty U.S. Navy Sailor in full uniform—refuse to accept military ID.
"Agent said he had 'reasonable suspicion' to suspect he was in U.S. illegally," said Navy Chief Marquise.
"He needs to provide other ID to prove citizenship... military ID is not sufficient."

My husband @captmarkkelly.bsky.social is a 25-year Navy combat pilot veteran. He served our country with strength, courage, and integrity.
The President called him a traitor and demanded he be executed. It is dangerous and wrong. Americans need to stand up and say so.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

You’re locked in a cell thousands of miles from home. No one knows where you are. No charges. No trial. No end in sight.

This isn’t policy. It’s cruelty plain and simple. And it’s happening on U.S. soil.

Republicans are planning to ram through passage of the SAVE Act, which would bar Americans from registering to vote with their driver's licenses! It would prohibit the use of military ID & Tribal cards.
This is a blatant attempt to suppress votes & undermine our democracy!

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

In Columbus Ohio, our local Fox affiliate recorded the protest at the Statehouse from an angle that made it look like hardly anyone showed up – in reality it was packed.
To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.
—With love,
Your American allies.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.
