#JinJiyanAzadi #BijiRojava WATCH How a small but powerful band of women led the fight against ISIS [UPDATES]

facebook.com/ritchiepage2001/p

In the years-long battle to retake northeastern Syria from ISIS, a small but powerful band of fighters led the way. The women of the YPJ, a Syrian-Kurdish force, fought alongside their male counterparts and face-to-face against ISIS. Author and journalist Gayle Tzemach Lemmon spent years reporting on their stories. She joins Amna Nawaz to discuss her new book, "The Daughters of Kobani."...

Trump allies circulate #MassDeportation plan calling for ‘processing camps’ and a private citizen ‘#army

The group, led by #Blackwater veteran #ErikPrince, has close #Trump ties.

"Prince declined to comment, and the other contractors and former immigration officials listed as key personnel in the document also declined to comment or could not be reached.

"The founders of the new special entity called #2USV have a long history with the U.S. government. Blackwater was formed by Prince in 1996 to provide training services to law enforcement, military personnel and other government agencies. It gained widespread attention for its work in Iraq and Afghanistan, providing security services for U.S. officials and military personnel, with critics viewing its rise as a result of the U.S. military’s overextension in the Middle East.

The military contractor came under scrutiny in 2007 following the #NisourSquareMassacre, when #Blackwater contractors opened fire and killed 17 Iraqi civilians and wounded 20 others — raising questions about oversight and accountability of private contractors. Several contractors were charged with manslaughter, and four were convicted in 2014. Trump pardoned them at the end of his first term in December 2020.

"Trump’s pardon was just one example of the influence of Prince’s family during the first Trump administration. #BetsyDeVos, Prince’s sister, served as the president’s #Education secretary, while Prince used his Trump connections as he chased business ventures in the U.S. and abroad.

"In 2018, he reportedly helped raise money for an effort to spy on progressives and Democratic organizations opposed to Trump." [As well as #DAPL #WaterProtectors!]

The "free speech" activists at or near #Project2025 try to target free speech by #Wikipedia:
«The methods outlined are potentially a serious threat to the freedom of speech of Wikipedia editors. Doxxing them would clearly open them up to the kind of online attacks that have become all-too common since Elon Musk bought Twitter. It would be quite understandable if doxxed editors stopped working on Wikipedia, for fear of real-world consequences for them and their families.»

A #new memo from #RussVougt [#Project2025], a top #Trump WH ofcl, called on #FederalAgencies to prepare plans by March 13 for additional “large-scale reductions” in the federal workforce. The memo hit agencies reeling from #layoffs & lobbed a series of insults.

It called the federal govt “bloated” & “corrupt.” It said “tax dollars are being siphoned off to fund unproductive & unnecessary programs that benefit radical interest groups while hurting hardworking American citizens.”
