Losing bases like Mildenhall and Ramstein would cripple U.S. power projection. Mildenhall’s air-refueling wing enables transatlantic fighter ops; without it, crossings become near-impossible. Ramstein is the backbone of U.S. logistics, medevac, and command across Europe and beyond.

70% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

ICE agents killing people in the streets. The naked extortion of a sovereign state. The National Guard unleashed in American cities. The Justice Department weaponized to prosecute political opponents.

The tyranny is on full display — and it's waking America up.

Dat moet betekenen dat ze haar aftreden bekend gaat maken, toch? Want haar partij is een vd belangrijke oorzaken van normalisering van geweld.

Het Russische ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken over de Amerikaanse aanval op Venezuela.

„Venezuela moet het gegarandeerde recht hebben om zijn eigen toekomst te bepalen zonder verwoestende militaire interventie van buitenaf.”

Vervang Venezuela met Oekraïne.
