I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

The extreme and psychotic overreaction by Trump and Stephen Miller to Democratic military vets in the Senate and House urging service members to remember that their oath is to the Constitution and not a man tells us a lot about the Trump admin’s plans for the military.

Indivisible CLT, Carolina Migrant Network, and @ndlon.bsky.social unite to demand ICE out of Charlotte. No corporation should allow fed agents to use its property to intimidate and abduct workers. Day laborers deserve safety, dignity, and the right to work without fear. #ICEoutofCharlotte
