Hey @InstacartHelp@Instacart could someone there PLEASE give us a way to turn this off in the Android app but still let us get substitution approvals and shopper DMs? This is an insane amount of notifications and it's getting old every week. I'm at 50+ and only half through.
🚨BREAKING: An ICE agent was filmed acting completely unhinged, spraying pepper spray down a residential street, in Santa Ana… with no one near him.
In the video, he’s walking around screaming, “Back the fuck up or you’re getting sprayed right now!”… while just firing the pepper spray in random directions down the street.
There was no crowd, no physical threat, just an unhinged agent spraying a chemical weapon all around a neighborhood.
And just so we are clear… Pepper spray is force. You don’t get to deploy it because you feel tense, or want to intimidate a neighborhood. Force has to be tied to an actual, immediate threat.
Spraying blindly down a residential street puts kids, families, and bystanders at risk.
It’s reckless, excessive, and it’s exactly what happens when agents think accountability doesn’t apply to them.
@sheetz I had to step over trash to get gas, but we can't really blame people for trying to use the cans. It was a valiant attempt by customers. They did their part.
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents surrounded a car in a University of Kansas parking lot, handcuffed the driver, and patted down a young girl against the vehicle.
And the university found out the same way students did… social media.
In the video, you can see an agent talking to the passenger, then opening the back door, pulling out a young woman, and having her turn to the vehicle to pat her down.
Their justification? The car had a connection to a prior DUI.
A prior DUI, on a registration, does not give you the right to drag every person out of a vehicle and search them. The passenger, and the young girl in the back seat, aren’t suspects.
Ordering them out and patting them down without independent, reasonable suspicion for each person, is a 4th Amendment violation.
And this is the pattern we keep seeing…
ICE flags a vehicle, treats everyone inside like a criminal, and people disappear.
Even the sheriff said agents “swoop in, cause chaos, alter lives and sneak out without so much as a word.”
They’ve been using minor infractions… or records that have nothing to do with the people in the car, as pretexts to stop, detain, and demand papers.
Half of ICE’s arrests in Kansas, since January, involved people with zero criminal convictions at all.
And this happened one day after ICE agents showed up at a Columbia University dorm at 6:30 in the morning, told staff they were looking for a missing 5-year-old girl, and used that lie to get inside without a warrant. They walked out with a student who had done nothing wrong… and only released her after New York City’s mayor had to take it all the way to the White House.
They lied about a missing child to take a college student from her bed.
On February 17th, agents were patrolling church parking lots and positioning themselves near an elementary school during morning drop-off. Now they’re following cars onto university campuses.
Schools. Churches. College campuses. All places where kids are supposed to feel safe… and where unaccompanied minors are easy to isolate.
They’re getting paid per body, and they know exactly where to find the most vulnerable ones.
Imagine being stupid enough to blame bombing a country because they're a "nuclear threat" while still having this up on your own website.
YOU. CAN. NOT. MAKE. IT. UP.
So let me get this right.
The US can find and kill a leader of a foreign country halfway around the world.
But they can't find any of the paedophiles and child traffickers from the Epstein list and arrest any of them in their own country?
One thing we learned today, is there are lots of Americans who are absolute fucking losers, who get off on the idea of shooting someone and getting away with it.
The most insane thing about all this, is just that:
-There is no reason to defend this.
It’s not political. You could just say:
“Officer didn’t follow protocol. Doesn’t reflect our values. Will be held accountable”
There is NOTHING to gain from defending this UNLESS you *want* for ICE to have the freedom to kill US citizens for disagreeing with you!
BREAKING: More evidence that the DOJ HAS REDACTED Trump’s name from the Epstein files.:
First image redacted in file release
.
Second image is the original.
The first reporter to speak up, interrupt, and call Trump out to his face while he is berating, insulting and personally attacking another female reporter for no reason will be a national hero. You may lose access, but you will be a legend forever. At some point, someone has to.
🚨 This new ICE rule should outrage EVERYONE… because it proves “do it the legal way” was always a lie.
People who entered the U.S. legally… with visas, paperwork, inspections, everything… are now being arrested at their green card interviews simply because they once overstayed.
Not for a crime.
Not for fraud.
Just for a technical lapse the green card process was literally designed to forgive.
For decades, if someone overstayed but had a U.S. citizen spouse or family sponsor, the law allowed them to fix it through an adjustment-of-status interview.
That was the official “legal way.”
The line they were told to get in.
Now the government is using that line as a trap door.
Show up to your interview 👉 you risk detention.
Follow the rules 👉 ICE treats you like a criminal.
Try to legalize your status 👉 you get flagged for removal.
And this isn’t just hitting families… it’s hitting asylum seekers, too.
People fleeing violence or persecution who filed their claims exactly the way the law demands are now walking into ICE ambushes because their visa expired while they waited for the government to process their case… which the government takes years to do.
They aren’t “illegal.”
They aren’t skipping the system.
They are literally in the middle of the legal system… and being punished for it.
This policy makes it nearly impossible for huge numbers of people to ever obtain a green card, no matter how perfect, peaceful, or compliant they are.
And it exposes the truth:
The people screaming “do it the right way” never cared about the right way.
Because even when immigrants DO follow the process step by step, the government is now turning that process into a deportation pipeline.
If the legal path leads straight to ICE custody, then there is no legal path… and that is exactly the point.

Jack White just earned a new degree of respect from me.
An exceptional response to Trump's little people!
The White House melts down and attacks music legend Jack White after he insults Donald Trump's "disgusting" and "vulgar" redecoration of the White House
“Jack White is a washed-up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media because he clearly has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career,” claimed White House spokesman Steven Cheung.
“It’s apparent [White]’s been masquerading as a real artist, because he fails to appreciate, and quite frankly disrespects, the splendor and significance of the Oval Office inside of ‘The People’s House,'” Cheung added.
this is Jack’s response…
"Listen, I’m an artist and not a politician so I’m in no need to give my answer or opinion on anything if I’m not inspired or compelled, but how funny that it wasn’t me calling out trump’s blatant fascist manipulation of government, his gestapo ICE tactics, his racist remarks about Latinos, Native Americans, etc. his ridiculous 'wall' construction, his attacks on the disabled, his attempted coup and mob insurrection and destruction of the sacred halls of congress, his disparaging sexist and pedophilic remarks about women, his obvious attempts at distraction about being a close personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein and his inclusion in the Epstein files, his ignorance of the dying children in Sudan, Gaza, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, his lack of empathy for military veterans and those struggling with poverty, his attempts to dismantle healthcare, his obvious wimpy and pathetic kowtowing to the dictators Putin and Kim Jong Un, his nazi like rallies, his attempts to sell merchandise and products like Goya beans through the office of the President, his fake 'gunshot to the ear' that he showed no medical records or photographs of, his constant, constant, constant lying to the American people, etc. etc. etc."
"No, it wasn’t me calling out any of that, it was the f*cking DECOR OF THE OVAL OFFICE remarks I made that got them to respond with insults," he continued. "How petty and pathetic and thin skinned could this administration get? 'Masquerading as a real artist'? Thank you for giving me my tombstone engraving! Well here’s my opinion, trump is masquerading as a human being."
"He’s masquerading as a christian, as a leader, as a person with actual empathy," he wrote. "He’s been masquerading as a businessman for decades as nothing he’s involved in has prospered except by using other people’s money to find loophole
after loophole and grift after grift."
"His staff of professional liar toadies like Steven Cheung and Karoline Leavitt have been covering up and masking his fascism as patriotism and fomenting hatred and division in this country on a daily basis," White went on. "And I have 'ample time on (my) hands'? That orange grifter has spent more tax payer money cheating at golf than helping ANYONE in the country. Improve. Anything. There is no progress with him, only smoke and mirrors and tax breaks for the ultra wealthy."
"So maga folk, enjoy your concrete paving over of the rose garden, your 200 million dollar ballroom in the White House, and your gaudy ass gold spray painted trinkets from Home Depot, cause he ain’t spending any money on helping YOU unless you fit into his white supremacist country club rich idiot agenda,"
"Wow, he hates who you hate....good for you, be proud of yourselves, how christian of you all,"
"The only way you can support this conman is because you are a victim of the 2 party system and you 'defend your guy no matter what he does.'" he wrote. "No intelligent person can defend this low life fascist. This bankruptor of casinos. This failed seller of trump steaks, trump vodka, trump water, etc."
"This man and his goon squad have failed upwards for decades and have fleeced the American people over and over," wrote White. "This professional golf cheat, this grifter who has hundreds of thousands of deaths from his inaction of the pandemic on his hands, this man that the majority of the country somehow were fooled into supporting and voting into office (through the flawed electoral college) and their love of reality
television stars."
"Being insulted by the actual White House that this particular conman leads is a badge of honor to me, because anyone who trump supports and likes is a villain who gives nothing to their fellow man, only takes what can benefit themselves,"
"And no I’m not a Democrat either, I’m a human being raised in Detroit, I’m an artist who’s owned his own businesses like his own upholstery shop and recording label since he was 21 years old who has enough street sense to know when a 3 card monte dealer is a cheap grifter and a thief,"
"I was raised to believe that we defeated fascism in World War II and that we would never allow it again in the world. I don't always state publicly my political opinions, and like anyone I don't always know all of the facts, but when it comes to this man and this administration I'm not going to be like one of the silent minority of 1930's Germany. This man is a danger to not just America but the entire world and that's not an exaggeration, he's dismantling democracy and endangering the planet on a daily basis, and we. all. know. it. -JW III...
🚨BREAKING: A Fullerton officer stopped a man pointing a gun at a woman in traffic… only to find out he was an ICE agent.
And no, this isn’t @TheOnion
The ICE agent said she was “following him.”
Even if she was… that’s not a crime.
But pulling a gun on an unarmed woman in traffic? Pretty sure that is.
@Acyn Trump; "You're fake news."
Reporter: "And you're a fucking asshole. Now answer the question, you dickbag."
Is it that hard? Yes, you're never in the room again, and you're probably losing your job, but fuck wouldn't that feel great to get out?
@pjaicomo There's no way these guys are completing accepted FLETC training for federal agents. It sounds like they get less than half of the reasonable amount of escalation of force or deadly force training that's required of any local law enforcement trainees.
