Veterans blast Pete Hegseth’s β€˜clueless, self-aggrandizing’ military speech Former officials and service members criticize secretary’s β€˜antipathy’ toward women in nation’s armed forces

Politicians want to erase women vets. Our member told @the-independent.com we have 'proven our mettle in combat.' Read the article to see veterans speaking out against this attack. We will not be silenced.

Let's be clear...

Antifa, short for "anti-fascist," is not an organization or group, it's simply a political stance. There is no group called "antifa" that people join. Anyone who opposes fascism is, by definition, antifa. It's a descriptive label, not a membership.
The Allied soldiers who fought Nazi Germany in World War II were antifa. Civil rights activists who stood against authoritarian racism were antifa. Anyone today who rejects fascist ideology is antifa. There's no structure, no leadership, no membership cards, and no secret plans.
The misconception that antifa is a dangerous organization threatening the country is fundamentally wrong. Claiming that there is such a group is a lie. Being anti-fascist is only a threat to fascists themselves, to those promoting authoritarian, ultranationalist, and oppressive ideologies. For everyone else, opposition to fascism is a defense of democratic values and human rights.
There are no antifa headquarters, no regional chapters, and no coordinated conspiracy. Some local activists may organize under anti-fascist principles, but they operate independently without any connection to a larger "antifa organization" because, again, no such organization exists.
Antifa is nothing more and nothing less than standing against fascism

Born Poor | FRONTLINE An indelible look at the realities of growing up poor in America.

More than a decade ago, the Emmy-nominated documentary Poor Kids explored poverty in the United States as it’s rarely seen: through the eyes of children.

Born Poor tells the stories of the same children, now grown...

NPR, stop parroting Trump's fabricated excuses for sending federal forces into cities. You know there's zero data to support his claims; in fact, data show the opposite.

What Trump is doing is not a "crackdown"; it's an invasion, heading toward an authoritarian occupation.

There's no defending what Speaker Johnson and Republicans are doing.

They're turning their backs on @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social's constituents and every American seeking justice for Epstein's victims.

A small victory. Watch the whole video. This is what happens every time when ICE is outnumbered by angry community citizens. They run off. Tail between their legs. Cowards! They will lose this war, if we are all united and protect each other. We just need to show up in numbers!

Veterans demand ICE stop 'harassment' of protesters after arrest of retired U.S. Air Force member Dana Briggs of Rockford and four others are facing federal criminal charges after protesters clashed with federal agents outside the federal immigration facility in Broadview.

"Escalating violence against peaceful protesters." Our organizer's words after federal agents abducted a 70-year-old Air Force vet. We will not be intimidated. We will defend the right to protest.

Notice her non-answer.

This is explosive. Should be explosive. The US AG who said she had the Epstein files on her desk cannot say whether or not the FBI has pix of Trump with half-naked women, which one witness who knew Epstein has said he has seen.
