Pete Hegseth used an untested laser system powerful enough to down drones, blind pilots & damage planes without notifying the FAA, forcing Sean Duffy to shut down airspace over El Paso, all because they thought we were under attack by what turned out to be… party balloons?!

The UK doesn’t “offer” asylum. It warehouses and abuses people in a dysfunctional asylum system for years and tries to throw them all out.
The UK should offer asylum to Americans because here is no longer a safe place for us.

We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.
