Imagine using the National Guard to protect green algae but not US democracy on January 6.

🚨BREAKING: DHS is trying to argue that the ICE agent, who drove illegally down the shoulder of a highway and pointing a gun at innocent U.S. citizens, was just “performing his official duties.”

And that prosecuting him is “nothing more than a political stunt.”

According to prosecutors, this wasn’t some active takedown, or dangerous suspect situation.

It was rush hour traffic.

The agent allegedly chose to drive down the highway shoulder to get around it, and when a civilian vehicle got in his way… he pointed a GUN at the people inside.

And DHS’s response is… you can’t prosecute him because he’s an ICE agent, and he was doing his job.

So now we’re supposed to believe that illegally using the shoulder of a state highway, and pointing a GUN at random U.S. citizens, is just… a standard ICE procedure?

The law is actually pretty clear on when officers can point a weapon at someone… it’s tied to an objectively reasonable belief of an immediate threat, or the need to prevent serious harm during a lawful enforcement action.

It is not a free for all to use force because someone is in your way on the highway.

And that’s exactly why DHS defending this is so dangerous.

If “official duties” becomes a blanket excuse for this kind of behavior, then the standard shifts from what the law allows… to whatever a federal agent says was necessary in the moment.

And once you do that, accountability disappears… and so do your rights.

The same donald trump who threatened "years in jail" for people who touch the peeling paint in the Reflecting pool pardoned 1500 people who destroyed the Capitol on Jan. 6.

So let me get this straight: Pulling a chunk of paint out of the Reflecting Pool gets you arrested for vandalism, but trump’s terrorists who attacked the Capitol, killed cops, broke windows, stole shit, and smeared their feces on the walls get to go free?

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.   

Trump’s DOJ just shut down a federal investigation into a coal company owned by Sen. Jim Justice, one of his closest allies, after it racked up tens of thousands of alleged violations for dumping dangerous chemicals into our waterways. A veteran federal prosecutor with 24 years on the job said he had never seen anything like it.  

The man who killed the case was Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal defense lawyer and current Acting Attorney General. This is the same guy who just gave Trump, his family, and his companies permanent immunity from IRS audits. Now Trump wants the Senate to make Blanche’s appointment permanent too.  

Equal justice under law was never supposed to come with exceptions for the President’s friends.  

The pattern isn’t subtle: protect Trump’s friends, prosecute his critics, and get rewarded with more power. That is corruption, plain and simple. Todd Blanche must not be confirmed.

ICE hit & run over Black woman with car—just peacefully waving American flag.

"She didn't know there was a vehicle behind her, and was not out to block traffic," said witness.

"He didn't warn her, didn't honk, and didn't slow down."

"If you strike a pedestrian—that is a crime under any situation under New Jersey law."

This is the 2nd or 3rd time that same red Challenger has tried to run somebody over—according to witness.

Man driving is a contract worker at the Delaney ICE for profit prison run by GEO Group in Newark, New Jersey.

Durga Advocate for Justice does have an account on this platform—so posting this video here first to help them raise awareness.

Video is safe to watch, contains additional eyewitness commentary, and does not show any graphic content.

I saw a comment saying the U.S. is the only country in the World Cup without universal healthcare. And I was like nahhh no way that's accurate.
20 seconds on the world wide web later, THE UNITES STATES IS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD CUP WITHOUT UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE.
