More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

So advising people under your command to disobey ILLEGAL ORDERS

….gets you iced and your security clearance pulled.

Fellow veterans, we have entered a dark dystopian era that we all took an oath to oppose

Just sayin’

The picture shows Grijalva in a red jacket beside Speaker Mike Johnson.

The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own.

Pathetic.

It still boggles my mind that so many people couldn't grasp last year how significantly more morally depraved a second Trump term would be in comparison to the first. And how so many people still can't comprehend that our national crisis isn't about politics, but simple morality.

Survivors — and family of survivors — of Epstein and Maxwell's abuse are urging Mike Johnson to swear-in Adelita Grijalva:

"Every day you stall is another day survivors are denied justice, and the American people are denied the truth. Swear in Representative Grijalva and let democracy speak."
