🗣️ FREEDOM OF SPEECH
Pinned
🇺🇸 Know your 1st Amendment rights which are established by the United States Constitution.
Trump is enjoying any distractions away from Epstein. Don’t let up on it. The fact that people require the files from a deceased person to believe what happened to a thousand living women reveals everything about whose voices they value and whose they don’t. 🔄

Let's not confuse the people giving the stupid orders with the people who have to deal with following them, who are often good and decent people.
Apparently she offered to cover other people's shifts so they could go home to their families for the holiday.

This is precisely the kind of blatantly illegal order that the Congressional Dem vets reminded military members they shouldn't follow. Also: Hegseth is a criminal for issuing this "kill" order, and the Seal Team 6 members who obeyed should hire lawyers, too. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

If you want to know why Hegseth is panicking about reminders that there is accountably for giving or carrying out illegal orders, it’s likely because he knows he has given illegal orders to murder people.

This would be a war crime even if there were an actual war and these people were actual combatants, which there isn't and they weren't.

It's unquestionably an unlawful homicide under any form of law you wish to apply: military or civilian, domestic or international, federal or state. ...
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Stand in solidarity with freedom around the world. Isolationism is an authoritarian's favorite weapon.
November 28 marks one year of Georgia's daily protest and continues resistance.

This is a photographic chronology of the past 12 months, captured by photographers working on the ground.

As of Friday, 28/11/2025, Georgians have been protesting continuously for 365 days.
