@oldsalt946.bsky.social

Retired Navy, retired Correction Officer, retired VA. Progressive resister. Committed ANTIFA! I retired to my forever home, ageing gracefully in the beautiful north woods of Minnesota. If God ever retires, I'm pretty sure this is where he'll come.

BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.

Trump and Kennedy push a grotesque revival of eugenics dressed as health policy, praising “superior genetics” and dismissing the vulnerable. It’s a cynical weapon for billionaires to cut care while the poor die younger.
