Adriana Smith, a 30-year-old Black woman in Georgia, was declared legally dead in February, but has been kept on life support for three months against her family's wishes because of the state's "fetal heartbeat" anti-abortion law.

Smith, a nurse, was turned away when she first sought medical care.

If you're protesting this weekend, know your rights when interacting with law enforcement, including immigration agents.
Black graphic with text: "Know Your Protest Rights. You don't need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don't need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you're not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.If you get stopped by the police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you'll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney-no matter your citizenship or immigration status.”Know Your Rights.

Thanks to all the new followers! This is a community-driven project. If you want to contribute (code improvements, graphic design, tips, ideas), please reach out via DM or email.

ICE tries to operate in secret & more people are being arrested than we currently know about. Redundancy is important!

From Col. Schappert:

“I spent a good portion of Sunday afternoon responding to emails from here and abroad. It's quite remarkable. All were respectful, appreciative, and a salve to the deep frustration and hurt.”

The chaos of Trump's first month in office is no accident. This gutting of the federal government and impounding of Congressionally allocated funds was laid out years ago by Russell Vought, Trump's OMB director and Project 2025 architect. Todd Beeton looked at his core beliefs for The Big Picture.

It’s so hard to connect the dots though.
Social media post by bryan metzger (@metzgov) with the text: 'Trump told The Spectator he had dinner with Jeff Bezos on Wednesday night, the same day Bezos announced that the Washington Post’s Opinion section would embrace “personal liberties and free markets.”' The post includes a profile picture of bryan metzger, a person with short dark hair wearing a white shirt, set against a blue background.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.

Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

9 days ago, #AltGov told you about Musk's takeover of the FAA/Verizon contract.
Today, the media is catching up.
This is just one of the ways we continue in our service to the American people.

FAA's Enterprise Network Services (FENS) is the primary means through which the agency is working to establish a more modern network infrastructure for managing its own operations & the U.S.' civilian airspace.
March 2023, Verizon was given a 15y, $2.4B contract.
Today, DOGE says Starlink will do it
