Mr. Kaepernick kneeling in silent protest during our national anthem prior to the start of NFL games. As a retired Marine colonel with 4 combat tours as an infantryman I didn’t & don’t object to the powerful position he took. Allegiance to our flag is allegiance to an idea, not a piece of cloth.

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

I was slow to see but now realize national news values the entertainment of the car crash over the facts. Almost 12 million of us protested PEACEFULLY even in LA, and lead photos are of the car crash. Shameful. @50501movement.bsky.social @altnps.bsky.social www.usatoday.com/picture-gall...
