60 minutes had reporters embedded with my unit during the worst fighting throughout the entirety of the Afghanistan war. They aired our field memorial. Friends and family saw my face on 60 minutes and knew for the first time in months that I was still alive. We’ll never see that transparency again.

Silencing freedom of the press. Essential for all dictators.

How many September 11’s worth of victims is Israel allowed to kill with our munitions built to fight terrorism?

So horrific. Another double-tap on rescue workers. “Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health said more than 3,100 people have been killed by Israeli attacks since March 2” www.commondreams.org/news/israel-...

First President in American history to say either of the following: “I’m not a rapist” “I didn’t rape anybody” “I’m not a pedophile”

Take it from the horses' mouths !

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

The most corrupt president in history:

Pope Leo XIV: Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers. But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.

Two very different people.

And still, veterans support this

“They were going to come. It was going to be a big thing. We were going to go to the beach right after. All those plans had to go out the window because they said ICE would be here."

The US Department of War Crimes.

ABC’s whole pre-launch is just discussing all the things that can go wrong. Then some of how cool the science it, and a dash of “isn’t this pointless?” I get it. But the hour before the launch isn’t the time I’m going to blank out the world for thirty seconds and watch rocket ship go vroom to moon

Couldn’t be more thrilled for the astronauts on Artemis II. What a journey they’re about to have.

I was honored to close out Austin’s No Kings. All speakers had Spanish and ASL translations and were phenomenal. Over 80 organizations tabled to sign up our 35,000 attendees. No Kings is not a day. It’s a commitment requiring more work every time you wake up.

Austin is ready to go. We sing No Kings

This is an extraordinary labor win. This season, the WNBA *minimum* saalry will be higher than the former *maximum* salary. www.wsj.com/sports/baske...

Afghan who fought for US forces dies in ICE custody as Trump on track for grim record www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Ukraine is sending interceptor drones and operators to help NATO countries and their boss Israel. Russia is providing Intelligence and arms to Iran. Tell me how this isn’t a World War? And we STILL won’t let Ukraine into NATO. We suck.

Exclusive: Russia is giving Iran specific advice on drone tactics, Western intelligence source says

Overnight Iranian attacks come as Israel unleashes new bombardment of Tehran and US targets Iran’s navy near the Strait of Hormuz.

Glitch or real price? Who knows.

One of my kid’s favorite books. My toddler had me read it tonight. He loves pointing at the baby in the Iranian family. I wonder if we killed Kian and his baby sister yet. I wonder if they’re reading together as oil rains down and their streets burst into flames.

A seventh service member has been announced killed in action. ICE has still killed more Americans than Iran this year.

It’s literally raining oil over a city of 10 Million people and the graves of 150 little girls we murdered. Welcome to America’s Global War of Terror

At the funeral of Rev. Jesse Jackson. Rep. Jones and I walk in his footsteps. Our story isn’t possible without the work, advocacy, Organizing, and struggle of Rev. Jackson. Rest in power.

Very strong statement from the First Lady of Iraq:

Famelack.com is an amazing resource. You can watch news from every country, most have one with English subs/dubs. Anyways, Israel’s talking about colonizing Iran.

Man, it’s going to be super cool when all of our interceptors, tomahawks, and patriot-3 missiles are gone. And knowing that, China invades Taiwan, we throw our kill switches on our semiconductor making factories, and then we have no missiles or drones for a few years during the world war we started.

As a former member of a police union, blow it out your ass with bitching about not giving ICE due process while “Standing with” the terrorist organization reorganized around the principle that People of Color no longer deserve due process

So the State Department is forcing everyone to immediately leave the region but is also refusing to help people leave the region. The strike itself is illegal and disastrous but their lack of readiness for what comes next is unforgivable as well. Incompetence everywhere.
