Anti-fascist. Philly guy = nobody's sheep. Musician, IT Guru, Supports: The Arts, LGBTQ+, & BLM. Have empathy. Speak up. Reject hate. Love more. #Resist
Empathy. It's in too short supply. Relatively few insanely rich people spread across multiple nations promote people having less empathy & more hate. This enables them to manipulate the masses. Think of what could be done with all the time & money wasted on endless conflict.
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents in Minneapolis violently detained, threatened, and arrested a U.S. citizen for one reason only, he refused to prove his citizenship.
In the video, agents immediately escalate to physical force. A man stands with his hands up, repeatedly saying, “I’m not doing anything,” while agents shove him, force him against his car, and begin an illegal search.
No crime. No warrant. No probable cause.
An agent falsely claims, “That’s assault,” while they are actively assaulting a U.S. citizen who is complying and not resisting.
Moments later, the agent admits the truth, saying, “And all we needed was your ID,” openly acknowledging this was an unlawful detention based solely on a refusal to produce identification.
That is not legal.
The short agent then threatens, “Don’t move or you will be fucking tased.”
The man calmly responds, “I’m not moving.”
The short agent escalates again, snarling, “You’re a fucking bitch, and you’re going to learn the hard way.”
That is a direct threat of violence against a U.S. citizen whose hands are already behind his back.
They dig through his pockets anyway, repeating, “I just asked you for an ID,” as if that excuses violating the Fourth Amendment.
Then, in a moment that exposes the entire operation, the short agent announces, “He has a gun on him! Wouldn’t you look at that.”
As if Minnesota is not a conceal-carry state.
The man immediately responds, “A fully registered firearm. Because I’m a U.S. citizen.”
The short agent casually tosses the firearm onto the car after removing the magazine, demonstrating reckless handling of a legally owned weapon.
By this point, they have removed his wallet, yet, still do not check his ID, and still continue the arrest.
The man states the obvious, “Unlawful arrest.”
The short agent replies, “We’ll see about that.”
When asked what crime he committed, the short agent deflects, saying, “We’re going to talk about that when we get in the car,” knowing full well he is on camera and cannot articulate a lawful reason.
Only then do agents begin changing their story, claiming the man “reached for something.”
The man immediately corrects them, he reached for his whistle.
ICE agents already admitted the detention was because he refused to show ID. They did not know he was carrying a firearm until after the illegal search. Now they are retroactively inventing justification.
The video contradicts every word they say.
This wasn’t law enforcement. This was intimidation, retaliation, and a fishing expedition carried out by armed agents.
If not carry papers, as a U.S. citizen, gets you assaulted and arrested, then this isn’t law enforcement. It’s a police state.
🚨NEW: Senator Elizabeth Warren slams the GOP shutdown deal: "I think it's a terrible mistake. The American people want us to stand and fight for health care, and that's what I believe we should do."
RETWEET if you stand with @SenWarren against the GOP!
MAJOR BREAKING: In a shocking admission, FOX NEWS reports that House Republicans will slash Medicaid and the CBO reports that 13.7 million people will be knocked off the health insurance rolls by 2034. Repost this to expose them.

Under Joe Biden, My 401K was thriving.
Our local Social Security office was in Town.
Eggs and gas were cheaper.
Milk & Chicken was inspected by the USDA.
Canada, Mexico and Europe were our Buddies.
My Healthcare and SSI was safe.

We lost 4 Americans in Benghazi and MAGA still won’t shut up about it.
We lost 4 American soldiers today in Lithuania.
And Donald Trump didn’t know anything about it.
Rep. Jason Crow shuts down Fox News host:
“Do not tell me I don’t have real national security concerns. I’ve gone to war in Iraq. I’ve gone to war in Afghanistan—twice. And I’ve seen my friends give their lives for this country.”
This isn’t a game. It’s life and death.
As a former chair of the House Intelligence Committee, a few things leap out at me in reading the full Signalgate text chain:
First, the specificity with which they identify one of their targets.
They refer to him as “the top missile guy,” and also reveal that they know where he is located: “his girlfriend’s building.”
Hegseth outlines exactly what military platforms will be used to carry out the strikes and also makes clear this is “the first target,” which suggests there could be more targets.
This means anyone with access to this non-secure thread could tip off the Houthis to immediately change their activity to evade being targeted next.
Details like this should have been classified, because the public revelation of them could reveal sources and methods.
Houthis will now try to determine how we would know the identity of the target and their whereabouts, and other adversaries will examine this closely to understand our methods.
If these details had leaked in real time — and thanks to Jeffrey Goldberg for delaying their revelation — we also would have lost the opportunity to strike the targets.
Second, the wide disparagement of our European allies is another reason this chat should not have been undertaken on a commercial app. The response from Europe was immediate yesterday.
The disclosure has naturally inflamed our allies and further embittered them against the United States. Again, these are our allies.
Third, in the chain, Vance suggested postponing the operation, and Hegseth responds: “2 immediate risks on waiting: 1) this leaks, and we look indecisive.”
This again highlights how irresponsible it was to use a commercial app to discuss a potentially imminent attack. Had Goldberg decided to publish the text chain when he first received it — or the operation been postponed and the chat revealed — the targets would have fled.
Hegseth later assured the others on the chat: “But, we can easily pause. And if we do, I will do all we can to enforce 100% OPSEC. | welcome other thoughts.”
Operational security (or OPSEC) refers to the process of ensuring that sensitive information like this text chat doesn’t fall into the wrong hands and compromise the mission.
Of course, this was not 100% OPSEC.
The chat was on a commercial platform that DoD knew at the time to be vulnerable. Two participants were overseas — one of them apparently in Russia — using unknown devices to communicate. And a journalist was receiving every word.
In the text chain, Hegseth invited additional thoughts. Here’s one:
You didn’t enforce 100% OPSEC — far from it — and you should resign.
🔥Rep. Mikie Sherrill came in swinging:
“You don’t give targeting information. You don’t give time. You put people in danger!”
A Navy Vet and former Russian policy officer, she’s not mincing words—Trump’s team endangered American lives, and they know it.
