šØBREAKING: ICE agents, working with state police, pulled over a vehicle, in Ogden, Utah⦠and smashed their car window because he wouldnāt roll it down all the way.
Watch the shift⦠because this is where it goes from aggressive to completely out of control.
The driver already has the window partially open. The ICE agent is yelling, giving a countdown, threatening to break the window⦠while another officer is trying to open the door from the other side.
No explanation, or clear threat⦠Just escalation.
Then, someone inside says, āIām a U.S. citizen⦠you pointed a gun at me.ā
And thatās the moment everything changes.
Instead of pulling back⦠instead of correcting⦠instead of even acknowledging itā¦
The ICE agent snaps.
āI donāt give a shit who you are, I donāt know you.ā
And then he immediately escalates further⦠raises the metal bar⦠and starts hitting the window⦠doubling down on force.
A person says you pointed a gun at them⦠and your response is not to de-escalateā¦
Itās to get MORE aggressive.
Thatās retaliation.
They call them ānon-compliantā⦠and within seconds, the window is smashed and the driver is dragged out.
And it doesnāt stop there.
The passenger⦠who is recording⦠gets told to āstay thereā while the officer puts his hand on his gun.
He responds, āIām recording for my safety.ā
The officer shuts the door on him anyway.
When he opens it again and steps out⦠and then the officer physically shoves him back into the car.
This is what needs to be understoodā¦
The escalation didnāt come from a threat.
It came the second someone spoke upā¦
the second someone said, āyou pointed a gun at meāā¦
The second someone started documenting it.
Thatās when it got worse.
Thatās when it turned physical.
Thatās when the window broke.
And thatās what should alarm people⦠because thatās not about safety anymore.
Thatās about being challenged⦠and responding with more force.
Israel is wiping out critical bridge after critical bridge in South Lebanon.
Civilians canāt flee.
Ambulances canāt reach the wounded.
Entire communities are cut off from food, medicine, and essential supplies.
This is intentional.
This is a crime against humanity.
To every kid with a learning disability: donāt let anyone ā not even the President of the United States ā bully you.
Dyslexia isnāt a weakness.
Itās your strength.
@KyivIndependent I can assure you, 30% of people always oppose the obvious. Educated people know that Ukraine is defending itself from Russian aggression. Even if opposition to the war of survival grows, it will hit a critical level that cannot surpass overwhelming support for Ukraine.
To the average Canadian, the moral lines of the war in Ukraine remain clear. But behind the closed parliament doors, a different picture is emerging.

Flags at half mast speak loudly about who a nation chooses to honor.
When Charlie Kirk, a racist agitator who trafficked in division and grievance, died, Trump moved swiftly to lower the American flag, a symbolic gesture of national mourning.
But when Reverend Jesse Jackson, a global civil rights icon, freedom fighter, and lifelong advocate for justice, dignity, and unity passed away, there was no such urgency. No national gesture. No unifying call to honor a man whose lifeās work helped expand democracy and human rights for millions.
Instead, the president took to social media to center himself rather than the legacy of a giant who marched with Dr. King, negotiated for the oppressed, and spent decades bringing people together across race, class, and nation.
Let that contrast sink in.
A figure known for stoking division is memorialized with the full weight of presidential symbolism, while a civil rights statesman whose mission was reconciliation, equality, and global justice is met with indifference.
That is not just an oversight.
That is a statement of values.
History will remember who was honored, how they were honored, and who was quietly minimized.
And it raises a sobering question:
What does it say about the soul of a nation when a divider is mourned with national symbols, but a unifier is not?

@ShiDavidi Loperfido left off WS roster tells you how they really felt about him. It was a BIG MISTAKE. He needed a new start and Schneider needed to erase the memory.
@C_Bass419@thehazelmae Chris, you are a class act. Enjoyed every start you made, through your successes and struggles. You always found a way. Respect š«”
