Welcome back Kyber Squadron! It's been a long time, but the crew is back and the news is spicier than ever.  We got Republicans engaging in human trafficking to manufacture chaos like the First Order paid pirates in Resistance to manufacture fear. Don't fall for the trap, and do hold politicians accountable who will campaign on stopping or continuing this violence.
