Libertarians support the free market, property rights, and individual liberty.
Why should peaceful migrants be forced to get government permission to work here?
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and officers may soon be equipped with gloves that deliver electrical shocks, which the manufacturer says are intended to de-escalate encounters with individuals. https://t.co/IQQ2wnmk30
Because dozens of officers in my state have been caught using them improperly.
I mean, you can just watch @LastWeekTonight from 2 weeks ago to see a whole list of abuses.
I really still haven’t heard a good explanation for why Flock cameras are bad. Basically responses are:
- George III might use the cameras for evil.
- The police might get an erroneous alert and question you for five minutes before realizing their mistake.
- George Orwell said Flock cameras are bad.
- I misread a Benjamin Franklin quote that sounded tuff even though it really wasn’t related.
- The cameras don’t even really do anything even though they are also extremely evil and dangerous.
You guys need to step up your game. 🏀
With over 20% of Minnesota Democrat primary voters choosing a candidate who wasn't the top 2, I can only wonder how a ranked choice ballot would have gone, and how many rounds it would have taken to get a winner over 50%.
As an outside the party observer, it makes me just wonder how a different voting system might potentially change the outcome.
Imagine if police had the Flock cameras when states were locked down in 2020.
Imagine how they would be used to track people and punish them for doing things like going to church or going to the beach.
This is not a left vs right issue. Its a wrong vs right issue and we all need to oppose these unconstitutional invasions of privacy.
Deflock America!
We have both a constitutionally protected right to bear arms and privacy.
Me owning a gun doesnt violate those constitutionally protected rights, but police having a camera that tracks and documents the movement and behavior of people without any judicial oversight or warrant does violate those rights.
I feel the same way about Atlanta.
Most of its critics have never lived in Atlanta.
Is it perfect? No place is but its amazing. The people, the trees and parks, the food, the culture and fun, its amazing.
Do I like the government in Atlanta? Hell No! We are an awesome city in spite of the government.
I love my city and won't accept trash talk.
Also, we have by far the best airport in the country. Its gigantic and easy to navigate and I love it.
I owe Chicago an apology. 🥹
I came here expecting the version of the city I’ve heard about for years: dirty, dangerous, dysfunctional, and hopelessly corrupt.
Instead? It’s beautiful.
The architecture is stunning. The streets have been surprisingly clean. The food is incredible. The neighborhoods have character. And Lake Michigan provides a breathtaking backdrop that almost makes you forget you’re in the middle of one of America’s largest cities.
And experiencing it with Free, who grew up here, has given me an entirely different perspective.
Now, am I suddenly endorsing Chicago politics? 😂 Of course not.
But here’s where my libertarianism might irritate people on BOTH sides:
Chicago should be allowed to govern Chicago.
If the people of a community choose policies I wouldn’t choose for mine, that’s a far better arrangement than imposing one political vision on 330 million people from Washington, D.C.
Decentralization means accepting that different communities will make different choices.
And beneath all the politics are actual human beings…families, churches, businesses, neighborhoods, artists, cooks, builders…creating something bigger than government ever could.
A city is more than its politicians.
Chicago, you surprised me. ❤️

@LarrynAtlanta@Liberty4C Really, because some of the loudest anti-flock voices in my community are from the left and the right.
Almost as if this is a unifying position of the people vs the powerful.
Would you look at that? Ohio's Republican governor has an op-ed today crediting Haitians with reversing Springfield’s economic collapse. And here I'd been informed we need to "send them all back."
So many armchair immigration pundits have zero clue what they’re talking about.
President Trump acknowledged on Sunday that there was "no video or proof" of alleged vandalism to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool after weeks of claiming that damage to the pool's surface was the deliberate work of saboteurs.
