Do NOT let this fade.

Keep the pressure on.

Ilhan Omar and Ahmed Nur Said Elmi’s (Omar’s BROTHER) marriage certificate.

This incestuous SICKO married her full blood brother to skirt immigration laws.

Denaturalize and deport her.

What has been largely absent from the media’s narratives about Greenland is the fact that, from 1966 to 1991, Danish authorities ran a systematic program to suppress Greenland’s birth rate by effectively sterilizing thousands of women and girls, some as young as 12, during routine health appointments, without their knowledge or consent.

In light of that history, Denmark has no moral standing to lecture anyone about Greenland, its people, or its future, and it certainly does not deserve compensation of any kind for relinquishing control. This was the conduct of a colonial power engaged in population control, extending well into the modern era. Denmark should disappear from the discussion entirely and leave Greenland and its people free of any further interference or pretense.

@OUontheAir I’m at the game! Thank you for posting the in stadium frequency, I really appreciate it. BOOMER SOONER!

I would actually genuinely appreciate finding a way to connect on social media with other people who support and were impacted by Charlie Kirk. In some of the spaces I’m in there are not many people who think similar to myself, and while I value those we don’t agree with, I would be grateful to connect with others who share my values and faith across this country.

[Laurel Wheeler @FinnishSunshine]

Watching the Charlie Kirk memorial, man was a legend and true American patriot. People will hate us, people may unfriend us, but we will not be silenced.

I remember once when I was gov contracting for the agency I was working in a remote part of the Middle East. We had a boss who I couldn't stand, he had almost gotten us killed on multiple occasions, he couldn’t make a decision for the life of him, and overall was just a terrible leader. Everyone I worked with agreed and despised him.
One day after some detected surveillance which later became an engagement directly due to his leadership I looked at my counter part and said this:

“Honestly, if it wasn’t your job, would you save that piece of shit?”

He looked at me dead in the eyes and said:

“F*ck yes I would, that is a f*cking American.”

Then he got closer knowing where I was going with this and said in a stern voice:

“Wouldn’t you?”

It was at that point in time that I realized I was the piece of shit, not the person I was pointing my finger at. I knew that instant that I was a horrible representation of the flag that I wore on my chest and that I didn’t even deserve to be there. I immediately adjusted my attitude, but I felt ashamed for even having thought of not rendering aid or conducting combat to save another American simply because I did not agree with his decision making.

It is that exact sentiment that I see in this country today. Wishing the worst, death and beyond on another American because they think differently than you. A whole lot of finger pointing and not a lot of self reflection.

We all have blood on our hands at this point.
Every race
Every gender
Every religion, political party, sexual preference, nationality, and so on…

I don’t know what it’s going to take for the country to learn this lesson, but it is not going to get any better and continue getting worse until we all realize that we are all “f*cking Americans”.

Give yourself the room to say “You know what, I never thought of it like that, maybe I’m wrong about this one.”

Be like my counterpart was, not like I was. We’re all in this together and we’re all American whether you like it or not.

My counterpart’s name was Anthony Del Vecchio callsign “Devo”. He was a great American.

@stormcellar97 I am not sure if that platform is very accessible to blind people or not. Shame to see you guys go, I really enjoyed following all of your adventures. I’m not over there because I don’t enjoy trying to navigate it with a screen reader, but best of luck. I enjoy the podcast a lot!

[Laurel Wheeler @FinnishSunshine]

@NikkiVicious @wfaaweather That’s awesome and it does help, thank you so much! 😄

[Laurel Wheeler @FinnishSunshine]

I’ve now only seen it on American Airlines, and internationally on FinnAir actually. It’s pretty awesome! Sighted people take that little booklet in the seat back pocket for granted. Even though I know most all the info contained inside it now as a frequent traveler, I’ll never fail to appreciate being able to choose to look at something everyone else automatically always has. It’s so awesome when an airline and a flight crew make them available in Braille!

[Laurel Wheeler @FinnishSunshine]

I took an @AmericanAir flight this morning from DFW to PHL. First time ever that I’ve been offered a Braille version of the safety guide from the seat back pocket that everyone else takes for granted ever for a domestic flight. Thank you AA for valuing accessibility. Thank you @BraillePress for printing these, and please thank the flight crew of AA1260 for remembering they have it! I love seeing equal access happen organically, it’s a rare thing in my life.

[Laurel Wheeler @FinnishSunshine]

@AmericanAir It was a great one for sure. I am always encouraged when I see such a major company value accessibility in such a practical way. My guide dog enjoyed the flight too!
