I used to have an account with followers, but Musk cooked it.
Not a bot, just here waiting for the end of the world or our species, whichever comes first.
To be clear: ICE shot and killed a man who was not their target. He had no criminal record, was seeking legal status, & was pushed off the road by unmarked cars.
There’s “no body cam footage”, his family can’t recover his body, and the witnesses in his van have been detained.
-no criminal history
-was at his job as a construction worker
-has three sons who are us citizens
ICE said he tried to ram them with his car. Every time they’ve ever said this it has come out that they lied
What an odd way of saying, “nearly half of American adults under 30 do not earn enough to afford housing.”
This isn’t “financial savvy.”
It’s a sign that there are limits to how far people can be exploited for housing.
🚨BREAKING: (Chicago suburb, St. Charles) ICE agents smashed a handcuffed man’s face into a stone wall, then assaulted a U.S. citizen, multiple times, once they realized they were filming.
In the video, multiple ICE agents have a man in handcuffs. While he is completely under their control, and not resisting, they smash his face into a stone wall.
A U.S. citizen begins asking for the man’s name, while filming... note that he is not interfering, blocking the agents, or preventing the arrest in any way…. But that doesn’t stop the ICE agent from chases after him, while another agent threatens him with a taser.
As the citizen is actively backing away, the agent continues walking toward him, and aggressively shoves him backwards.
Even after the detained man is being escorted to the vehicle… and the legal observer is nowhere near the agents, or their cars… that same ICE agent continues shoving the U.S. citizen for no apparent reason.
And while he is standing on the public sidewalk, another agent walks over and points a taser inches from him, and then turns around and points his taser at other innocent people, who are just standing and watching.
Americans have a First Amendment right to record government officials performing their duties in public. Threatening, intimidating, or assaulting someone because they are documenting law enforcement, violates that right.
And slamming a person face, who is handcuffed and not resisting, into a stone wall is excessive force.
This is exactly why it’s important to always record anytime you see ICE agents.
Because when there isn’t video evidence, we’re told to trust the government’s version of events. And more often than not, their version is filled with lies.
But when there is video, the people filming often become the next target… just for documenting what is happening.
And that’s what makes this so alarming.
This is happening across the country, almost every single day. Americans are watching videos of people being thrown to the ground, beaten, threatened, shoved, tased, and intimidated by federal agents… while never seeing anyone held accountable.
When a government refuses to investigate or discipline agents who violate people’s constitutional rights, it sends a message that they can keep doing it.
And that’s exactly what we’re seeing.
The Constitution means nothing if the people sworn to uphold it can violate it without consequence.
And as long as this administration refuses to hold ICE agents accountable, Americans should expect to keep seeing videos like this… because impunity breeds abuse.
I read the Hobbit then LOTR in 4th & 5th grade. I hate generational pride or stereotypes but does anyone else feel like millennials got lucky with some kind of peak of education and parenting in the 90s? My mum taught me how to read kid's books before I even started kindergarten.
@bazashc Have you ever read it??? It’s 100% not a children’s book and whoever says that is lying to you. Not only is the vernacular dated and elaborate but the sentence structure and lengthy writing is often hard to get your head around as an adult. Love that book! but it’s not for kids
The Hobbit is a children’s book, and the fact that so many grown people find the syntax and language difficult just further shows how far we’ve fallen from a cliff intellectually since it was first published in 1937.
One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.
The moment the tents of displaced people were bombed in the southern Gaza Strip, in the Mawasi area of Khan Yunis, killing more than 500 civilians.
A video that the world must never forget.
Evergreen post: He could be impeached tonight and convicted at trial in a few weeks and removed from office immediately thereafter if about 20 people in DC decided to put country over party for the first time in their miserable, self-dealing lives
China just brutally deflated its insane property bubble, erased two decades of gains and didn't trigger a financial meltdown, mass foreclosures or banker bailouts.
They straight-up said housing is for living, not speculation, and enforced it. This is one of the most savage anti-imperialist moves in modern history because it proves countries can defy the West's debt-and-leech model without collapsing.
The empire is terrified if people see you can actually serve citizens instead of hedge funds and speculators, their whole parasitic system crumbles.
Brutal reality check.
Studies now present a striking picture of what happens when private equity firms acquire hospitals and nursing homes: predictable increases in harm and deaths. One landmark study shows: patient deaths up about 11% after such acquisitions.
People talk about media literacy but I think we need to start talking about moral literacy. Hasan had made a few edgy jokes here and there but Asmongold is daily unironically talking about why killing people is great. There’s no comparison here.
