I refused to wear Nike gear because of their sweatshop abuses and lost my college coaching job for this. Moved to Indonesia to live with Nike factory workers.

[Jim Keady @JWKeady]

Just saw the trailer for #AIRMovie and I’m wondering if @BenAffleck, Matt Damon, @batemanjason, etc. are willing to tell this👇🏼👇🏾👇🏻side of the Nike/Jordan “success” story? Or will they respond just like Phil Knight did when I confronted him (15:25min)?

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents showed up at a work site in Brownsville, Texas, claiming to be looking for two people… and ended up illegally handcuffing TWO U.S. CITIZENS, throwing one of them against a truck, threatening to arrest him again, and scanning everyone’s faces to determine their “status.”

In the video, ICE showed up looking for two people. They asked the foreman if he knew them. He said no.

Then, they asked if they could talk to the other workers about the people they were looking for.

The foreman said, “If they want to talk to you, they can.”

And then an ICE agent tried to scan the foreman’s face to run him through their system.

The foreman told him he was not allowed to just scan his face.

The foreman then walked over to one of his workers’ trucks, where ICE agents were surrounding the work vehicles at their work site.

He asked what was going on.

He repeatedly asked who they were looking for, and told them the people they claimed to be looking for were not there.

The agent responded, “Well, we want to make sure.”

The foreman told them, “Well, we aren’t them. You all need to leave.”

And then an ICE agent threatened to arrest him.

“You need to settle down or I have to put you in cuffs.”

Except this man was not threatening them. He was not attacking them. He was not even raising his voice.

He was standing there, asking questions and telling government agents to leave his workplace, after they had already expanded their investigation beyond the two people they claimed to be looking for.

So, the ICE agent threw him against a truck and handcuffed him.

A U.S. citizen.

And after they released him, he asked for the agents’ badge numbers.

And the agent responded by threatening to handcuff him AGAIN.

The government cannot simply show up, invade your workplace, surround your vehicles, demand access to people who are not the subjects of their investigation, scan your face, and then arrest you because you object to what they are doing.

The First Amendment protects your right to question government agents and verbally protest their actions.

The Fourth Amendment protects you from unreasonable searches and seizures.

And an arrest cannot simply be used as punishment because an officer does not like the fact that you are standing there, asking questions, or asserting your rights.

Then the foreman saw another person ICE had in handcuffs…

He told them they needed to let him go because he was not the person they were looking for.

The agents eventually released the person they had in handcuffs… after scanning his face and discovering that he was also a U.S. citizen.

The government is creating situations where people are expected to silently obey armed agents, who refuse to explain what they are doing… while they violate your constitutional rights… and then punishing anyone who dares to ask questions.

When the government tells you that your only options are blind obedience or punishment… you are not living in a free country.

So Israeli settlers attack a Palestinian village, throw gasoline through a window onto a baby, nearly burning the young child alive, and beat a pregnant woman with stones.

Zero Western media coverage.

The complicity runs so deep...

Interesting that Tapper mentions how bad Ayatollah Khomeini was for killing ‘thousands’ of Iranians given his colleague Dana Bash just did a softball interview with Benjamin Netanyahu who has killed *tens of thousands*, maybe *hundreds of thousands*, of Palestinians in Gaza.

ICE agents pulled up on this black man at a McDonald’s & if you notice they blocked him in without any reason to stop him except his color & he was in an expensive car. He showed them his ID & they then they questioned if it was fake. Another guy asked where his car was from.

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Brennan: "These were fatal shootings in Houston and Maine — and in Houston, it was an unmarked car."

Homan: "They have emergency lights and sirens…We'll see how the investigation plays out, but they would be alive today if they simply complied with the vehicle stop by federal law enforcement. Just comply."

Brennan: "The family of the man in Houston thought he was being robbed because it was an unmarked vehicle — not that was law enforcement at all."

Homan: "They had emergency lights. They activate emergency light."

Brennan: "You've seen that on video? Because we haven't…In the videos that we've seen there aren't. And because there weren't body cameras, it is hard to substantiate some of what you are sayings."

Homan: "I have not seen the videos, but I am saying our vehicles are equipped with emergency lights. Now, if they didn't activate the lights — again, I haven't seen that video — if they didn't activate their lights, then there's an issue there. But I'm saying they are equipped with lights. So let me just caveat that, they should have been equipped with lights and sirens. But I do not know specifically if they activated those lights."

[Amy Siskind @Amy_Siskind]

This dandy from the WSJ Editorial Board:

"Since Mr. Trump declassified the memo, we can quote the part he didn’t. “Vote tabulation systems would be difficult to manipulate on a wide enough scale to compromise election results,” it says. “The systems in each voting location are not connected to the Internet or to each other, and many methods for exploiting them rely on physical proximity.” Achieving it across many jurisdictions “would be difficult” and “audits and paper trails very likely would uncover such an effort."

...
"Unfortunately, the message from Mr. Trump and others has been that America’s elections can’t be trusted, and the only hope is the SAVE America Act. Aside from being untrue, this is a political backfire for the GOP. If Republican voters believe it, and the bill falls short, then why waste time going to the polls in November? Has the GOP already forgotten how Mr. Trump’s fraud outbursts cost them two Senate seats in the 2021 Georgia runoffs?"

BREAKING: Jake Tapper: “…why were you worried about offending people who support the Ayatollah?”

Abdul El-Sayed: “Jake, on a day where we’re mourning the loss of two more service members in a war we never should have fought I think all of us ought to step back and ask whether or not everybody in Michigan, frankly everybody in America shouldn’t be sad about the fact that this president backed by the prime minister of a foreign government took us to a war we had no business fighting in. So yeah, I didn’t want to comment on it then because it’s a ridiculous pretext, and now you’re asking me about the Ayatollah who’s dead by the way, and you’re not asking me about the service members who’ve died. You’re not asking me about whether or not this war should have ever been fought. You’re not asking me about whether or not the costs that are being borne by Michiganders in the tax dollars we pay or the gas prices that are insane right now, are worth it…”😳

"Cuando entramos en las prisiones de Israel, los prisioneros palestinos se orinan en sus pantalones al vernos, se orinan del miedo. Entramos en la celda de Marwan Barghouti y estaba llorando aterrorizado. Les dije a los carceleros que continuaran tratándoles así".

Ben Gvir, el psicópata nazi que controla la policía de "Israel", se vanaglorió hoy de las torturas a las que someten a los palestinos en sus campos de concentración, diciendo orgulloso que los palestinos están tan aterrorizados que se orinan encima y lloran solo al verles.

Esto es tranquilamente lo que diría un miembro de las SS el siglo pasado al ver a los prisioneros de sus campos de exterminio, es pura maldad, este genocida disfruta con el sufrimiento ajeno.

CNN will never show you this : An Israeli settler pointing a gun at a Palestinian farmer.

"This land is mine now. Get out. Never come back"

The farmer's family worked that land for generations.

The settler flew in from Eastern Europe.

The Oligarchs are getting nervous.

AIPAC and other billionaire-funded super PACs have already spent almost $50 million in Michigan to try and defeat Dr. Abdul El-Sayed.

They have the money. We have the people.

Yeah, this is all just hilarious @JDVance. Your thoughts, words, and deeds are so far from Jesus’ “good news to the poor.” Yet sadly, I don’t think you’ll listen, nor do you understand why. You’ve created a false idol in Trump and your lust for place and power have blinded you.

[Fan Commentary: Joe Rogan Recaps @JoeRoganRecaps]

Joe Rogan presses Vice President JD Vance about a military commander who told troops that bombing Iran is part of God’s divine plan to bring back Jesus Christ:

ROGAN: “This guy said the only way Jesus can return is by bombing Iran.”

VANCE: “😂😂😂 I did not hear about this.”

ROGAN: “He told the troops that they don’t need to be afraid of the war because Trump was anointed by Jesus. Let’s read this report.”

VANCE: “Let me just say…”

ROGAN: *Stops JD from defending this* “Hold on let me read the quote.”

CONTEXT: Jamie pulls up the report. We’ll let you watch for yourself to see how crazy it is.

ROGAN: “This is the type of right wing thinking that I don’t like. The commander had a big grin on his face when he said all this.”

VANCE: “I don’t endorse that, but we do need to have humility in God’s plan. I would’ve told those Christians troops to trust in God.”

ROGAN: “You don’t know if these troops are Christian. You’re telling them Jesus wants us to bomb Iran. I would’ve left the military.”

VANCE: “I’ve never heard of this particular story, but I know the press likes to spin stories a certain way so who really knows.”

ROGAN: “How do you not know about this story when you’re the Vice President of the United States.”

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents were filmed assaulting, handcuffing, and kidnapping a U.S. citizen in Passaic, New Jersey… while refusing to even look at the ID he repeatedly begged them to check.

A man is pleading with federal agents to verify who he is…

And they refused.

Instead, one agent says, “We need to get him on the ground,” puts him in a chokehold, throws him to the ground, and multiple agents pile on top of him before handcuffing him, and throwing him into their vehicle.

Under the Fourth Amendment, the government cannot arrest, or seize someone, without probable cause that they have committed, are committing, or are about to commit an offense that authorizes the arrest.

U.S. citizens are also not required to carry identification unless they’re driving a motorized vehicle.

And if federal agents are refusing to verify someone’s identity before arresting them, then they are openly ignoring the constitution.

Which should terrify every American.

Because that means no one is safe from being kidnapped by the government… and disappeared.

Every agent involved should be publicly identified, and DHS should be forced to explain why they believed they had the legal authority to seize someone, while refusing to verify who he was.

This cannot become normal.

Israel is maniacally bombing Palestinians in tattered tents again tonight. Every. Single. Day. Not a single shot from Hamas for more than 10 months & Israel has killed more than a thousand Palestinians since — including more than 200 children.

Today, we asked Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) if he was planning to vote to cut off money to Israel.

Instead of answering the question, he deployed the same deflections we've been hearing for years now. He won't justify supporting this genocide because he can't.

While the majority of people in the U.S. support cutting off arms to Israel, Gottheimer continues to represent AIPAC instead. He's received over $2 million from pro-Israel lobby groups.
