Yesterday, Spc Sarah Becstrom was laid to rest in West Virginia at a VA National Cemetery.
Surprisingly none of the major major news media mention it. No flags were lower to half staff.
Well the Convicted FElon keeps the news focus on him.

I’ve heard from immigration attorneys that clients say ICE guards lay out the WRAP device (essentially a full-body straitjacket) on the tarmac as a threat — “do what we say or you’re getting the WRAP on the whole flight.”
And here’s proof, from Seattle livestream today via @lalabote.bsky.social.

Thankfully, the Polish doctor who was arrested for providing a medically necessary later abortion has had her criminal investigation dropped. Prosecutors deemed that she did not violate Poland’s strict abortion laws. An anti-choice fanatic who attacked her is facing criminal charges for assault.

A close friend passed away on Tues night
It’s so hard when someone leaves so unexpectedly
Where we live the roads are sometimes treacherous and always dangerous if you are impaired
Please don’t drive impaired it’s awful for the families and friends left to pick up the pieces

A warrant is just cops swearing to a judge to at there is [evidence of] probable cause they must have a warrant to obtain.

Undocumented immigration to the United States is not a crime.
It is a civil offense.
Branding these people as “illegals” is some of the brilliantly disgusting euphemism
the most racist white people in this nation (the Republican Party) have pulled off in some time.
