"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

A classic black-and-white photograph of Geraldyn “Jerrie” Cobb, pioneering American aviator and astronaut candidate, seated in the cockpit of a high-performance jet aircraft during the early 1960s. She wears a flight helmet with visor, oxygen mask connected to a hose, and flight suit with patches. Her expression is calm, focused, and determined as she looks upward slightly toward the sky, evoking her role as the first woman to pass the same astronaut screening tests as NASA's Mercury Seven men and her status as the top contender in the Mercury 13 program. The image captures her courage, skill, and groundbreaking ambition in an era when women were excluded from spaceflight due to gender bias.
Jerrie Cobb should have been the first woman in #space. 🚀
Due to gender bias, she wasn't.
Part of the Mercury 13 (women), she passed the same tests as the Mercury Seven astronauts (men), often ranking in the top 2% (including compared to the men). She was born #OTD in 1931.

"Mr. Trump announced the change on social media, along with a new, and previously nonexistent, role for Ms. Noem: special envoy for the Shield of the Americas". Shield of the Americas - sounds biblical.

This is all a distraction from the attack on Dunkin.
The only constant in our whole GenX lives has been this bullshit.

“The censorship infrastructure surrounding this war is extraordinary. On the American side, self-proclaimed Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has virtually eliminated press access to the military and limited press credentialing to journalists who pledge to remain official stenographers.”
The daily rants about people not voting is maddening if you’ve been following the indie reporting (& DOJ filings) on foreign-influenced psy-ops that have plagued the last decade. We’ve been programmed to blame fellow citizens so that we don’t look at the puppet masters who are benefitting from it.
Instant follow.
The same government that legislates women’s bodies is trampling on civil liberties?! Who could have seen it coming. ICE can eat a bag of scabby Ds.
F that. She doesn’t care. In her head this is for Jesus and the more you threaten the more she’s convinced she’s doing gods work. Dems need to stop with threats that probably won’t happen and start exposing the religious fundamentalism that’s destroying our constitution.
Many Americans still have a hard time making the connection between a monotheistic hierarchical religion with a irreproachable father-god figure and fascism.
Yes he has. Speaking from his Christian background and using words like “sacred” is what makes the message palatable. If he weren’t Christian the separation of church and state talk would be a deal breaker for the Dems.
Many of those people are why there are new laws and penalties for assaulting health care workers. Like, nurses were getting punched for telling families their loved one had covid.

It’s not a distraction - it’s a 40 year plan. Chump. Epstein. Barr. Kushner. Bibi.
Listen and share and send thanks/apologies to journalists like Kendzior who have already told us this for years.
American media doesn't care about the first amendment nowadays. They helped normalize this. They weren't too curious when DJT created his office of faith and put out an executive order about eradicating anti-christian bias.
Don't know what essay, but I'm here to support all essay-reading friend groups.

The god shit that has been present since the founding of the country is necessary to get people to buy into a stern-father leader and to oppress, exploit, and silence everyone else like women and minority groups that have been telling everyone for centuries how f-ed up our systems are.
