@DLHoskins Start with the man in the mirror

AN AMERICAN CITIZEN LEFT BLOODIED ON THE ROAD BY ICE.

Agents in Evanston targeted him because he was Black, forced him to the ground, brutalized him, then drove away. He was bleeding from his head and neck, with teeth missing. A witness said an agent punched him in the face.

PAXIS confirms: DHS’s explanation? He “refused to identify himself.” U.S. citizens do not have to carry proof of citizenship, and that claim does nothing to explain his injuries.

THIS IS NOT THE AMERICAN REICH. Fuck this fascist violence. Fight back: record, preserve evidence, and demand accountability.

https://t.co/du9bv2TwAq cannot stop a bullet in the back or a punch to the face from fascists. It can help citizens and immigrants understand their rights, prepare for encounters, and document what happens afterward. It’s free. Help keep it free: https://t.co/Hi5Yo2MuXu

@WhiteHouse Imagine if Obama had done this

[Bradley Farris @Bfairkc]

@DLHoskins This was easily avoided. We are not idiots. Everyone can see this was intentionally done.

I used to admire the conservative ethos of personal responsibility, but any integrity seems to be missing here.

🚨BREAKING: An ICE agent POINTED A GUN at a U.S. citizen, through her car window, while threatening her, in Falls Church, Virginia.

And the excuse?

They claimed she “almost ran them over.”

Except… she had a dash cam recording the entire thing.

She immediately called their bullshit:

“You are so full of shit. I didn’t almost run anyone over.”

The agent tells her, “You aren’t funny.”

She responds, “You aren’t funny.”

Then he threatens her… “Keep it up, I will arrest you.” While he has his gun aimed inches away from her.

She says, “I’m a legal citizen, for what?”

And they keep threatening her with arrest.

Then, the agent repeats the accusation that she tried to run them over.

So, she tells him, “Run you over when? I have dash cam recording. That’s a lie.”

And suddenly… they WALK AWAY.

Because if she had actually tried to run federal agents over, why did they just leave after she called their bullshit, and said she had video proving them wrong?

And just to emphasize the seriousness of what happened…

An ARMED federal agent had his GUN POINTED AT A WOMAN, through her car window, while threatening her with arrest.

Pointing a firearm at someone is an enormous use of force that should NEVER be treated casually… especially when the supposed justification is an accusation they apparently couldn’t… or wouldn’t… back up.

She wasn’t arrested.

They didn’t show her evidence that she committed a crime.

They just threatened her, pointed a gun at her, and repeatedly told her they would lock her up if she continued following them.

And the SECOND she says, “I have it on dash cam,” they WALK AWAY.

Because apparently the threat disappears when there’s a camera that can prove what actually happened.

This is exactly why people need to DOCUMENT these encounters.

Because when armed federal agents can point guns at citizens, and make accusations with seemingly no consequences, the public needs cameras.

And when they threaten you for asking, “For what?”

keep recording.

HE GAVE AMERICA 20 YEARS OF SERVICE. AMERICA TOOK HIS WIFE.

Retired Staff Sgt. Wilmer Trujillo served in the Army and Texas National Guard, deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan. Trump’s government repaid that sacrifice by detaining his wife, Arelys Barahona-Martinez, during a routine ICE check-in.

She has no criminal record and was pursuing a legal path to residency. Now she must fight for due process from behind bars while her veteran husband begs his own country to stop destroying his family.

Years ago, I read a blurb for a book that went something like this: "Every once in a while, you should read a book that makes your blood boil." This story -- the whole tawdry, abusive affair -- should do the same. https://t.co/HbBQBbMyH2

A fully masked ICE agent pepper sprayed a woman in New York yesterday merely for videotaping.

This is what tyranny looks like in Trump’s America. Imagine if Biden had Trump supporters pepper sprayed for videotaping.

Not surprising. Same airline that boarded Kevin McCalister with no boarding ticket.

Help to keep Grove Pool open and enjoyable for everyone.

Recent repeated acts of vandalism at the pool have resulted in costly repairs and damage.

If this behavior continues, we will close Grove Pool for the rest of summer.

North Carolina this month passed legislation that prohibits local governments from requiring a minimum number of off-street parking spaces for new developments in most of the state, excluding municipalities on the coast.

Been proud of the records the streetcar keeps breaking and while riding it and walking a lot lately, including today, reminded of how we need to invest in even more trees and our tree canopy east, west, and along the line. It's hot with them, really hot without them.

Kansas City’s consumers, community, and workforce continue to lead during this World Cup, increasing spending and sales revenues more than any of the 11 U.S. World Cup host cities. That’s a win for our restaurants, shops, hotels, and the people who work in them.

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

America asked Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal to risk his life beside our Special Forces.

He did.

We promised allies like him safety.

Trump and ICE gave him detention.

One day later, he was dead.

His wife says ICE would not even let him have his asthma inhaler.

That is not strength. That is betrayal.

It tells every ally who ever believed America’s word that our promises expire the moment Trump needs another target.

https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY cannot stop ICE’s cruelty. But it can help people prepare before the knock, the stop, the search, or the arrest.

Know your rights. Make a plan. Share it with anyone at risk. Keep it FREE: https://t.co/ZhHJH8FyNd

This is Trump's America. It doesn't have to be our America.

I’ve lived the American dream. I'm the son of a single immigrant mom, and I made it all the way to the United States Senate.

That country still exists. And it’s worth fighting for.

Ronald Reagan: “You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman…But Anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American…This, I believe, is one of the most important sources of America's greatness.”🇺🇸
