It doesn’t matter if the man killed by ICE in Maine was authorized to work in the United States or not. It doesn’t matter if he had a social security or not. ICE should not be killing anyone. Period.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.

ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

@willmhaskins incredible levels of self-reporting here

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

The US has quietly deployed 82nd Airborne paratroopers to Israel, per deployment order leaked to me.

The deployment is tied to new US-Israel joint contingency plans for seizing Kharg Island and carving out coastal territory inside Iran.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents in Minneapolis violently detained, threatened, and arrested a U.S. citizen for one reason only, he refused to prove his citizenship.

In the video, agents immediately escalate to physical force. A man stands with his hands up, repeatedly saying, “I’m not doing anything,” while agents shove him, force him against his car, and begin an illegal search.

No crime. No warrant. No probable cause.

An agent falsely claims, “That’s assault,” while they are actively assaulting a U.S. citizen who is complying and not resisting.

Moments later, the agent admits the truth, saying, “And all we needed was your ID,” openly acknowledging this was an unlawful detention based solely on a refusal to produce identification.

That is not legal.

The short agent then threatens, “Don’t move or you will be fucking tased.”

The man calmly responds, “I’m not moving.”

The short agent escalates again, snarling, “You’re a fucking bitch, and you’re going to learn the hard way.”

That is a direct threat of violence against a U.S. citizen whose hands are already behind his back.

They dig through his pockets anyway, repeating, “I just asked you for an ID,” as if that excuses violating the Fourth Amendment.

Then, in a moment that exposes the entire operation, the short agent announces, “He has a gun on him! Wouldn’t you look at that.”

As if Minnesota is not a conceal-carry state.

The man immediately responds, “A fully registered firearm. Because I’m a U.S. citizen.”

The short agent casually tosses the firearm onto the car after removing the magazine, demonstrating reckless handling of a legally owned weapon.

By this point, they have removed his wallet, yet, still do not check his ID, and still continue the arrest.

The man states the obvious, “Unlawful arrest.”

The short agent replies, “We’ll see about that.”

When asked what crime he committed, the short agent deflects, saying, “We’re going to talk about that when we get in the car,” knowing full well he is on camera and cannot articulate a lawful reason.

Only then do agents begin changing their story, claiming the man “reached for something.”

The man immediately corrects them, he reached for his whistle.

ICE agents already admitted the detention was because he refused to show ID. They did not know he was carrying a firearm until after the illegal search. Now they are retroactively inventing justification.

The video contradicts every word they say.

This wasn’t law enforcement. This was intimidation, retaliation, and a fishing expedition carried out by armed agents.

If not carry papers, as a U.S. citizen, gets you assaulted and arrested, then this isn’t law enforcement. It’s a police state.

Claudia Sheinbaum says Mexico's "neoliberal period" is over, announcing a slew of new public works.

Continuing AMLO's Fourth Transformation, Mexico is building passenger rail, highways, airports, 200K+ affordable homes, and more

I mean how many times have we heard that we have a unique duty to spread democracy in the world or that we’re in a constant clash of civilizations with Islam/china/russia/etc

Bushism isn’t returning, it never left

[Reed @ReedMcIntire]

People like to pretend that the bush doctrine just disappeared once Obama entered office despite its moral and ideological elements being adopted by our elites wholeheartedly

[Not Jerome Powell @alifarhat79]

Sir they think you’re George W. Bush now

[Reed @ReedMcIntire]

they’re calling it the most soy occupied government of all time

[Reed @ReedMcIntire]

The US really needs a list of acceptable baby names like countries in Europe have

[Pop Base @PopBase]

Hunter Schafer reveals that her new passport now lists her sex as male instead of female, following Trump’s instatement:

“I’m not making this post to fear-monger, or to create drama, or receive consolation, I don’t need it. But I do think it’s worth posting to sort of note the reality of the situation and that it’s happening. I was shocked. I just didn’t think it was actually going to happen. I want to acknowledge my privilege, not only as a celebrity transwoman who is white […] I pass, and it still happened. […] No one, no matter how wealthy or white or pretty or whatever is excluded. […] I don’t give a f**k that they put an ‘M’ on my passport. It doesn’t change really anything about me or my transness, however, it does make life a little harder. I’m pretty sure it’s gonna come along with having to out myself to border patrol agents […] much more often than I would like to or is really necessary. And thinking about other trans women or other trans people who this might be happening to.”

Hey we’re all going to the brewery for hecking doggo trivia night. It’s in a renovated factory with no sound absorption and you can play giant Jenga. The food comes out of a window that says SEND NOODS in giant neon letters. There are one hundred men named Greg here

ce n'est plus le cas pour un tas de raisons. Ils ne sont pas racistes parce qu'ils sont bêtes. Ils sont racistes parce que le seul discours qui leur parvient, que ce soit par la télé ou le tissu social, est raciste.
