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.

🚨 Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.

Don't forget that I've written books you can give to other people (or yourself) this time of year! You'll be supporting my past and future writing, as well as providing a cool present to the serious history-minded person in your life, the survival-story fan, or the literary weirdo dear to you.

Really well presented testimony from a brave man with one small, devastating story that captures so much of the moment.
George Retes is an American citizen and veteran who was unjustly pepper-sprayed, arrested, and imprisoned for three days by ICE.

Yet he won't be intimidated by this lawless administration. He's speaking up and telling his story as part of a new $250k @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social campaign. 👇

The way that this administration is targeting and harassing Somalians in Minneapolis is disgusting and vile. Keep filming this because one day we are going to hold these agents accountable. Last I heard peacefully protesting doesn’t warrant being sprayed with chemical irritants.

ICE puts a U.S. citizen in a chokehold, forcing him to his knees in the snow.

When he offers his ID, agents ignore him.

Vanessa Lhotka-Meyer, who serves on the City Council, "suspects that about 80%-90% of the people in Appleton fall into the category of wanting ICE to use the prison. She’s more torn, having been around to see the prison’s economic benefits while having moral reservations about ICE."

Appleton’s private prison, once the town's biggest employer, has sat unused for 15 years. The Trump administration might have plans for it.
