Archaeologists in the Holy Land just uncovered a 3,000-year-old Israelite tablet…
It reads: “Iran is only weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon.”
Severely ill patients dumped in the street in the US because they can't pay their hospital bills.
What kind of freedom is this?

Drone warfare gas come to the United States. Barksdale is the HQ for B52 nuclear bombers.
The drones:
* Had non-commercial signals
* Were resistant to jamming
* Came in waves of 12-15
* Swept over sensitive areas of the base
* Had long range control links

Crazy story: Sophisticated drones attacked Louisiana’s Barksdale bomber base during week of 9 March in 4 hour waves, disrupting Epic Fury ops
"It is the first time a US airbase was temporarily put out of operation in wartime, something that never happened even in World War II."
A swarm of unidentified drones repeatedly hovered around Barksdale Air Force Base in northwest Louisiana in early March.

Drones flew over America’s nuclear bomber base for a week. No one stopped them.
During the week of March 9, waves of 12 to 15 unidentified drones repeatedly overflew Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, headquarters of Air Force Global Strike Command, which oversees the B-52 bomber fleet.
How TF is "drones attacked Air Force Base that houses America's Nuclear Bombers" NOT on the mainstream news? WTF folks? This kind of attack didn't even happen in WW2. Trump and his GOP clowns are woefully unprepared for jack or 💩 and are endangering America.

Any political party spreading lies about voter fraud as a pretext to make it harder for every one to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.
Remember this.
Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total.
The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.
REGULATIONS = PROTECTIONS FOR AMERICANS, HUMANS, EARTH
DEREGULATIONS = ALLOWING CORPORATIONS TO HARM AMERICANS, HUMANS, EARTH

@matschneid.bsky.social: k absenci Trumpovy přímé [e‑mailové] komunikace s Epsteinem ve spisech bych dodal, že to není překvapivé - Trump e‑mail nemá a nikdy nepoužíval, mj. z obav, aby po sobě nezanechával digitální stopu (viz např. výpovědi M. Westerhout, M. Cohena).
As part of their effort to make sure far right sheriffs don't get reelected uncontested, @boltsmag.org has put together a list of every one that is up for vote in 2026.

Murder. Shot in the back three times.
Don’t turn away. Please share.
In this closeup of the shooting of Alex Pretti: You can see Alex Pretti being shot at point blank range in the back by an ICE agent. Alex Pretti's left hand is leaning on the ground. His empty right hand is by his side. Alex Pretti is not holding a gun in either hand and is not a threat to agents.

Možná jsem si myslela, že když v zemi s právním státem bude vražda za bílého dne zachycena na video, z několika úhlů, se svědky; že nepůjde zpochybnit. Už si to nemyslím.
Please share. 💔
An ICE whistleblower revealed an illegal Trump DHS memo authorizing Trump regime forces to break into civilian homes, this is in violation of the following federal criminal codes:

Cortez-Mastro and Rosen have just committed to VOTE NO.
Please call Sheehen, Hassan, King and Durbin and tell them they must VOTE NO on giving ICE more money. Use @5calls.org it's easy.

Pew Research Institute (2023):
• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
It's *not* about immigration.
People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.
