Last year, federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Andrew Tate and his brother in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and told to return them, records and interviews show.

Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

At a hearing this morning on canoeist David Hearn’s case, the judge warned prosecutors they needed to not alter portions of the Reflecting Pool — and needed to provide access to experts for testing this week. “The government is operating at its own peril in doing this,” he said.

I don’t want to "download the app" to pay for parking. I don’t want to "create an account" to see a menu. I don’t want to "provide feedback" on a 30-second interaction. I just want to exist in the physical world without a digital leash.

No one is telling you to watch it. I don’t give a shit what movies you see or what beer you drink. I think that you are mentally ill and I derive pleasure from mocking you. But jerk off under a bridge for all I care.

The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply. pass it along and live más comrade

to hear Trump tell it, American elections were completely corrupted while he was president and he was helpless to stop it, then they were cleaned up by Biden ahead of Trump's victory in 2024, and now that Trump is president again they are once again becoming third world-caliber

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

The ex-wife of ICE agent David Brouillette speaks out: “He’s like, ‘I need you to lie about my character because what it comes down to is my character, I don’t want you talking about any of the abuse in our relationship.’ I told him I was not gonna lie for him, that I’ve waited years to speak my truth, I’ve been silenced long enough and now I need to come out with everything because a man lost his life. It was abuse not only to me, but to our daughter. Even being divorced from him, I’ve dealt with harassing phone calls, threats of him wanting to kill me. I believe this man was murdered. I believe David’s mental health played a part in what happened”

Things conservatives told me when I was in my 20’s:

*Character counts
*Crony capitalism is bad
*Russia is our enemy
*Tariffs are taxes
*The Constitution is sacrosanct
*Government power should be limited, restrained, and checked by congress.

Guess they were just joking.

🚨This video is terrifying.

And it’s another example of how ICE is making everyone less safe.

At Las Vegas International Airport, two people, in plain clothes, are seen trying to handcuff a man.

The man is screaming for help.

When the person filming asks a TSA agent what is happening, the agent replies, “It’s law enforcement.”

But when the person filming walks over and starts recording the people claiming to be law enforcement, one of them tries to swat the phone away.

Then, as more people begin watching, they get up and leave.

The man is left with a handcuff still attached to one of his wrists. He is visibly shaken and says they stole his belongings.

Think about how dangerous this is.

The government is normalizing armed agents, in plain clothes, grabbing people in public, without immediately identifying themselves in a way bystanders can verify. That creates confusion, panic, and makes it impossible for ordinary people to know whether they’re witnessing a lawful arrest, or a kidnapping.

In this case, people intervened… They started asking questions, and filming.

If no one had stepped in, who knows what would have happened to that man.

A government that expects people to simply accept unidentified agents, taking someone away without question, is making every person in this country less safe.

Breathing in hefty lungfuls of smoke as I get explosive diarrhea from salad, the sky turns apocalyptic orange while oil companies drill in protected lands, screwworms are eating cattle alive and the president just paid $6 million for rape. And I’m also able to bet on all of it!

[Rebekah Jones @GeoRebekah]

E. Jean Carroll was just paid more than $5.6 million by the sitting president of the United States after a jury found him liable for sexually abusing her and a federal judge clarified that what he did was rape.

That should be the biggest story in the country today.

The president raped a woman.

She took him to court.

And she won.

[I Smoked Lindsey Graham @BlackKnight10k]

I remember when getting a consensual blowjob was enough to warrant an impeachment. Now Presidents can pay out $5M+ to the victims they raped and no one fucking bats an eye

[Jeff Timmer @jefftimmer]

Fun Fact: The President of the goddam United States paid nearly $6 million in damages today to a woman he raped. Once upon a time, this would have been the only news you heard.

[Shannon @gardengirl125]

They shot that poor man in his head and pulled his lifeless body out of the car to handcuff him. In front of his fucking daughter.
WHAT ARE WE DOING?!
