Picture of mountains with text that reads, "A country where civilians must prove citizenship to strangers who don't have to prove that they're law enforcement is not a free one."

Doesn't matter the color of your skin, this should never happen. We are all immigrants unless we are of pure Native American descent!

"We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man."

Drawing at the top depicts Hitler in uniform and Trump wearing his typical blue suit and red tie, along with his MAGA hat and devil's horn. Sign reads, Create Fear; Dictators Playbook; Same tactics, different uniform. Drawing at the bottom depicts Gestapo SS sign and ICE bulletproof vest.

I hope this can happen sooner than later! I can't say insurrection is the right reason in their case, but they certainly betrayed their oaths, the constitution, and they perjured themselves during their congressional vetting.

How are they being recalled when they can't receive the notices through their government emails that they are not allowed to access while furloughed. Catch 22?

I'm betting that many of us in Seattle and other areas in which Sinclair or Nexstar owns the affiliates will have to watch Jimmy Kimmel's return on YouTube. I expect they will still pre-empt Jimmy. I'm okay with that. I prefer not to support them now anyway!
