In six months time, the US bombing of Somalia, escalated by Donald Trump in recent months "will rank as the longest foreign war the U.S. has ever fought," writes Spencer Ackerman for Zeteo. So why is no one talking about this particular 'forever war'?

Why Is No One Talking About the ‘New War’ Trump Is Waging in Somalia?

While the administration hounds Somali immigrants at home, it’s pummeling Somalia with an ‘unprecedented’ volume of airstrikes, but you might not know it given the silence from our media and Congress.

Joe Biden won in 2020 when people were demanding “defund the police” and “Abolish ICE” and he gave the cops 40 billion dollars and broke ICE funding records every year of his presidency. He made sure Trump wouldn’t go to jail and then he built the deportation infrastructure for him.
