Ask me how #Mohela is refusing to refund money that is owed to me. Every 6mos, I wait on hold for 4hrs, ask for my refund, they acknowledge they do owe me and say checks in the mail and to wait 6mos. I wait 6mos. Rinse and repeat. #scam #studentloans https://t.co/NIrVax2BAe

Innocent officers, do **NOT** flee the scene.

Allen v. United States (1896):
-Establishes that fleeing the scene may be weighed by juries as related to guilt.

United States v. Serrano (7th Cir.):
-Establishes that a single officer leaving the scene shows that he was not leaving for matters related to safety or an active scene.

Illinois v. Wardlow (2000):
-Establishes that, fleeing the scene is relevant evidence suggesting wrong-doing and may be brought forth as such by the prosecution.

Johnson: Does that mean we're going to go send troops into Greenland and take it over? No. Did Marco say something like that? I think he did. But I think he did it with a smile. He was... it was... I took that as a joke. He was trying to be humorous about it, okay?

[Gandalv @Microinteracti1]

Finally, the United States is waking up 🚨

Representative Ted Lieu just drew a crystal clear red line, and it matters more than most people seem to realize.

“If any military member, from the generals on down, participates in using force against Greenland without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders.”

That is not rhetoric. That is the law. And he is putting everyone on notice.

This is how a constitutional system is supposed to work. Civilian control. Congressional authority. No freelance militarism because a president feels impulsive or humiliated or bored. Orders that violate the Constitution are not orders. They are illegal commands, and obedience is not a defense.

What I like here is the timing. This is not said after the damage is done. It is a preemptive warning. A flare shot into the sky saying: think very carefully before you cross this line.

For years, too many people in Washington treated norms as vibes and laws as suggestions. This is a reminder that the system still has teeth if people are willing to use them. And that responsibility does not magically disappear when you put on a uniform.

More of this please. Clear boundaries. Plain language. Zero ambiguity. That is how you stop bad ideas before they turn into irreversible disasters.

ICE isn't even allowed stop a car UNLESS they have reasonable suspicion that a vehicle contains undocumented immigrants or if they are targeting a specific individual with a warrant.

NEITHER of those stipulations were true today.

Cold. Blooded. Murder.

Abolish ICE.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

A source just told me that ICE is rushing the ICE agent who committed the murder out of the state.

The language is abhorrent and he makes threats, but I’m more concerned about the nazi tattoo.

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨This video is terrifying, and it’s exactly why “just comply” does not protect you from ICE/Border Patrol agents, even as U.S. citizens, and why you always film them.

In North Carolina, ICE/Border Patrol agents illegally stopped two U.S. citizens. They questioned them without legal cause, took their licenses, and admitted on camera that the men were allowed to record.

And they were still attacked.

In the video, one man asks if he can film for his safety. The agent says yes, saying that he’ll “have to put his mask on.” The agents take their licenses, ask where they’re from, where they live, what they’re doing in the area, all without legal authority. The men cooperate anyway.

Then the situation turns dangerous.

Another agent suddenly tells the driver, “Turn off your video. You are being detained, so you are not free to record.”

That is false. Recording law enforcement in public is legal, including during detention.

The driver calmly refuses, keeps one hand on the steering wheel as instructed, and holds his phone in the other.

That’s when the agent lunges for the phone.

The agent throws himself into the car, trying to grab the device. When the driver moves it away, the agent assaults him.

The agent then illegally opens the car door, something the driver correctly points out they are not allowed to do.

The agents keep demanding the filming stop, as multiple agents keep reaching for the phone.

Then they escalate again.

They threaten arrest, grab the driver, and start hitting him and trying to drag him out of the car, even though he keeps saying, “We haven’t done anything wrong.” When they fail to pull him out, they back away, visibly angry.

They turn on the passenger next.

An agent grabs him, threatens handcuffs, and assaults him trying to force him out of the vehicle. When that doesn’t work, they start yelling conflicting commands, claiming the men are “interfering with an investigation.”

An investigation into what?
Their own illegal stop.

At one point, an agent shouts that the men can’t interfere, while another tries… again… to grab the phone, almost certainly to stop or erase the recording.

Only after all of this do the agents finally release them.
Because they are U.S. citizens.
Because the stop was illegal.
And because the camera was still rolling.

This is why you film ICE.
This is why compliance doesn’t save you.
This is why they hate cameras.

If this hadn’t been recorded, this would be another lie in a report, another “resisting” accusation, another abuse buried and denied.

Film them. Always.

@Gap don’t do it. Don’t participate in the President’s celebration. I really don’t want to #boycottgap or #boycottoldnavy. So many people switched away from Target and look what’s going on there.

@paramountplus canceled my subscription today due to Paramount caving to political pressures. Free speech is important and I’m concerned about the insertion of a “bias monitor.” Encourage others to follow suit. Media - even entertaining - should be independent.

Thanks, @grok ! #BoycottMusk #MuskMustGo logging off X indefinitely (even though I don’t use it much anyway since it’s a hellscape with zero benefit) ✌️#Grok #GrokAI #elonmusk

[marty maraschino @annequella]

Nothing has convinced me that #Elon is a completely unnecessary figurehead at every single company he runs more than the fact that he’s spending all his time in Washington with DOGE and not attending to meetings? Not in the office? Does a CEO not actually matter at his companies?

BREAKING NEWS

Trump CAVES again and postpones all tariffs on Canada after millions of dollars of goods were already removed from Canadian shelves.

In return, Canada has agreed to continue commitments already agreed to under Biden. Art of the deal. 🤡

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

THIS is the fire I want to see from every Dem: “Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over financial systems of the Treasury but you don't control money of American people. Congress does that. We don't have a 4th branch of gov called 'Elon Musk.’”

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: CNN just exposed Donald Trump for agreeing to a deal with Canada that had already been negotiated by President Biden. Donald Trump, for all his bluster, received nothing in return. This is yet another example of Trump’s incompetence.

And the payments will flow through X. Creating a WeChat wannabe super-app was always the plan.

This should be illegal. Probably is. Does anyone care?

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Elon Musk seized control of our payment system—that's how your grandpa gets his Social Security check or how your mom’s doctor gets paid by Medicare.

The unelected billionaire wants the power to turn that on or off, for anyone.

No more business as usual. We need to fight back.

[marty maraschino @annequella]

Musk is plugged into the financial systems because he’s going to force all federal transactions to be made through the X app. He will liquidate numerous federal agencies/departments and federal money will flow exclusively through this app #ElonMusk #USAID
