SEIU. Unions make us strong. Healthcare warrior. Have I told you about my dog? Spree retweeter. Many opinons, most expressed loudly and in real life.

Today I was alerted to a family with a 7 yo being held in Dilley Internment Camp. They came to the US via legal asylee process. Went to their ICE check-ins. Broke no laws. Mom got pregnant. Rather than try to have the child here for citizenship they did what the admin asked 1/

🚨BREAKING: In New York, an ICE agent was caught on video walking across the street and pepper spraying a woman directly in the face… for film them.

In the video, a woman is standing, with several other civilians, on the opposite side of the street.

They aren’t blocking traffic, or interfering with an arrest. In fact, you can’t even see an arrest taking place. They’re simply standing there, filming ICE agents from a public place.

Then, the ICE agent deliberately walks across the street, approaches the woman, raises his pepper spray canister just inches from her face, and sprays her directly in the eyes. People standing around her are seen running away to avoid getting sprayed, too

Only AFTER spraying her do you hear the agent say, “Back up.”

And then they turn around, like they didn’t just assault U.S. citizens with a chemical weapon, and walk away.

This should piss off every American.

The First Amendment protects your right to record law enforcement in public.

Pepper spraying someone for peacefully recording… is retaliation.

The Fourth Amendment also protects people from excessive force. Under the Constitution, officers can’t use force that isn’t objectively reasonable under the circumstances.

If someone is standing on the other side of the street, posing no immediate threat, not resisting, and not interfering… it’s difficult to justify blasting them in the face with a chemical weapon.

And even ICE’s own use-of-force standards require force to be reasonable, necessary, and proportional to the threat presented.

Nothing in this video suggests that standard was met.

This is exactly why people should be concerned about masked federal agents operating with little transparency, or accountability…

If agents can walk up to U.S. citizens and assault them with a chemical weapon for recording… that means your constitutional rights exist at the discretion of whoever is holding the pepper spray.

And that’s not how a constitutional republic is supposed to work.

Sorry @DoorDash @DoorDash_Help there’s no splitting the baby on DC residents’ ability to govern themselves. You’re on the wrong side here. And you’re still deleted.

[Kate Oh @kathoh]

You know who's at fault here? The civilian leadership.

Reporters need to demand why @GovWhitmer still hasn't withdrawn Michigan's National Guard from DC despite the National Guard openly engaging in crime policing here (and badly). She is essentially having Michigan invade DC!

[2026 @DCisme202]

A boycott isn’t a negotiation with DoorDash. It’s a message to any & every company after them who try & mess with us.

DC residents get treated as a place things happen to because everyone assumes there’s no cost. Make there be a cost.

[Sharon Eliza Nichols @SharonElizaDC]

Here’s the distinction: If DC residents are unhappy with the Council, we can organize and vote them out.

DC can’t vote Rep. Comer of KY out of office. Handing over power to Congress means giving it to people we didn’t vote for and can’t hold accountable.

[Janeese Lewis George @Janeese4DC]

A House committee approved a bill that would impede DC's ability to close tax loopholes & deliver a more affordable DC.

Let the people of DC govern DC. We've balanced our budget on time for each of the last 30 years. The last time the federal government could say that was 2001.

[Brendan Duke 🇨🇦🇺🇸 @Brendan_Duke]

This is a lot of words to say “DoorDash opposes DC home rule.”

[Josh Jacobson @joshjacobsondc]

Fine to disagree on tax policy, but not fine to work with GOP to significantly limit DC home rule. If @DoorDash thinks DC will accept them intervening in our tax code, they don't deserve our business.

I've deleted my Door Dash account and encourage others to do the same.

[Alex Koma @AlexKomaDC]

Listen, I am no lobbyist, but personally I would not publicly back a bill that has pretty much no chance of passing in Congress but a 100% chance of pissing off the lawmakers you're busy lobbying to reverse this fee...

[Martin Austermuhle @maustermuhle]

Interesting: @DoorDash is supporting the GOP bill in Congress to limit D.C.'s ability to increase or decrease taxes and fees, largely in response to the D.C. Council's recent vote in impose a new 20-cent delivery fee to help fund food-access programs. https://t.co/ttXnUWD2k4

[Zachary Parker @ZacharyforWard5]

Every District resident should know that @DoorDash doesn't support DC Home Rule and is actively working to undermine it by lobbying for the GOP’s efforts to control DC tax policies.

Govern yourselves accordingly, neighbors.

[Martin Austermuhle @maustermuhle]

The local anger over DoorDash backing the Republican bill in the House that restricts D.C.’s ability to increase taxes or fees seems to be growing. The bill cleared a key House committee today: https://t.co/gi7qtJgJcy

Border Patrol pulls over a 20-year-old in Slidell, LA for “white lights on the back of your vehicle… your reverse lights are on the whole time.”

Then, before writing a single ticket, the agent asks: “What’s your citizenship?”

The driver, Alan Laureano, was born in Slidell. His passenger — his 13-year-old stepbrother — was born in Pearl River, Louisiana. Both are U.S. citizens.

Didn’t matter. Twice, on camera, the agent tells Laureano he’s going to “check” the kid and “if he’s illegal, I will take him.”

He tries to open the 13-year-old’s car door himself. Laureano locks it and rolls the window down instead.

The agent then interrogates the child directly — full name, spelling, date of birth, birthplace — while Laureano stands his ground and refuses to hand over his own ID, telling the agent he doesn’t have the right to stop him over a taillight.

Immigration attorney Michael Gahagan reviewed the video and called it what it is: “an illegal detention.” Border Patrol isn’t authorized to detain someone over a traffic violation — they need independent reasonable suspicion of an immigration violation, and that has to come first, not get invented after the stop.

DHS’s after-the-fact statement claims the stop was based on “reasonable suspicion or probable cause of federal law violations” — but doesn’t say what that violation was. WWL Louisiana asked twice. No answer either time.

This is the pattern: pretext stop, pivot to citizenship, threaten a kid with removal before confirming anything. It only looks “routine” until you’re the one being asked to prove you belong in the country you were born in.

Here is a video of you voting to give $70,000,000,000 in additional funding to ICE

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨An ICE agent accused a U.S. citizen of “impeding” because she refused to drive her car into another vehicle.

In the video, an ICE agent yells at a woman, in her car, to move. She explains that she can’t move because she will hit another vehicle.

She isn’t refusing… or trying to block them… she is trying to avoid committing a crime.

“I’m not impeding. I’m trying to get out of the fucking way. You see how narrow it is.”

The agent then tells her to back up.

Her response…

“You are endangering me. Get out of my way so I can back up. I’m going to hit this car.”

And this is exactly why it is so dangerous when ICE agents claim someone was “weaponizing their vehicle.”

Because we keep seeing the same problem… ICE agents create chaotic situations by blocking roads, surrounding vehicles, and giving conflicting commands. Then, when someone tries to navigate that chaos, they claim they were being attacked.

When the government creates the danger, everyone else is left to deal with the consequences.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

The man shot and killed by ICE in Biddeford, Maine has been identified as a 26-year-old from Colombia.

He was reportedly authorized to work in the US and had been issued a Social Security Number.
