@CryptoProSolona @SeanTeareHCDAO ANIMALS? You sound like a 1800's slave owner, or how they described a native American! Or... do you know Irish history, have any Irish in you, know any, or any Catholics, they hated them for either, dehumanized them, called them criminals. sound familiar ?

@McCrae18509 @SeanTeareHCDAO @HarrisCountyDAO Which citizens was he trying to harm as he was just on his way to work?

@DarrigoMelanie trumpers say he has the right to make money. Really? Illegally, or at the expense of human beings?

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Donald Trump Jr became an owner and advisor to a company that wants to ship guns through the mail

…but that’s been illegal for nearly a century

…so his father just rescinded that rule

…to help his company.

It’s not a coincidence.
It’s corruption.

Gavin Newsom goes off on the Trump Family corruption:

Newsom: And I’m not talking about the $100,000 watches. I’m not talking about the guitars that he’s selling that you didn’t even know about, or the Bibles, or the sneakers. I’m not talking about all that.

I’m talking about what’s happening substantively with these kids and these investments, and the Pentagon contracts they’re receiving on rare earth minerals and drone companies, and all the stuff that’s happening with the Kushner family, the Witkoff family, the “Board of Peace,” which is about getting a piece of the Middle East.

Let’s talk about the UAE and high-value chips, where they’re getting a piece of our national security, where the Biden administration held off. But as long as you can get a deal done with the UAE on the private family businesses, then all of a sudden national security becomes less of an important talking point.

Or how about the tariff relief in places like Vietnam for the golf courses and the development deals, and the dozen other countries that he’s doing business in? How about all the corruption as it relates to the self-dealing with his resorts and all of his assets that the Secret Service and taxpayers are subsidizing? Or directing G7 investments? Or the emoluments issues across the spectrum every day? Or just the day trading literally behind the Oval Office desk, or showing up on your calendar at a company that you just invested in because you know that stock’s going to pop because you’re going to promote it the next day?

All of this happening—this open sewage system. You talk about draining the swamp. He gave it a presidential suite with gold leaf.

And you’re seeing this gross corruption at a scale and scope never before seen in modern American history. This is stuff I don’t even imagine exists at this scale in a year and a half, even in Putin’s Russia or Kim Jong-un’s North Korea.

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.  

Trump’s DOJ shut down a federal investigation into a coal company owned by one of his closest Senate allies, after it racked up tens of thousands of alleged violations for dumping toxic chemicals into our waterways.

My heart is with the people of Ukraine. For the past few years, we've dedicated this moment during The Rhythm of My Heart to the strength, courage and resilience of the Ukrainian people. Every night, the crowd joins together in support. In light of the recent horrific attacks on Kyiv, I hope this small tribute reminds you that people all over the world continue to stand with you.

@BillClinton So beautiful! The real leaders of our country, and they come together to be happy, and uplifting! Unlike trump who is always angry, and belittling. There's something wrong with him! I am proud to share this pic of wonderful human beings!

Today, Hillary and I were honored to be on the South Side of Chicago to celebrate the opening of the Obama Presidential Center. The Obama Center tells the story of eight years of progress, and is a stirring reminder of the power—and responsibility—we have as citizens shape a better future.

Congratulations, Barack and Michelle, on this extraordinary accomplishment!

[Bill Clinton @BillClinton]

America has become the longest-lasting democracy in history in large part thanks to generations of immigrants who have brought their talents, hard work, and dreams to our country. I was honored to welcome Pedro, who will help us write the next chapter of our American story.

@JohnHyland01 @TheJFreakinC On this historical year of America I just cry, what has happened to our country? Watching the nonstop tv coverage of all US history, they showed Ellis Island, the history of Immigrants, our country has never been about what is currently happening. So sad!

🚨BREAKING: Border Patrol agents violently pulled a U.S. citizen PASSENGER from a vehicle, slamming him to the ground…

Then shouted that he had a gun, even though he didn’t.

In Tucson, Arizona, state troopers pulled over a vehicle. While they were stopped on the side of the road, the state trooper called Border Patrol because the PASSENGER appeared to be Hispanic.

When Border Patrol arrived, the situation immediately escalated to agents smashed both passenger-side windows.

One agent tried to hit the phone out of the driver’s hand, who was recording, as they violently ripped the backseat passenger out of the vehicle, and threw him onto the ground, while multiple agents pin him down.

Then, an agent ordered the driver out of the vehicle.

She responded, “I didn’t do anything.”

The agent replied, “Step out or you are going to get tackled.”

At that point, at least three agents already had the passenger pinned, with his hands behind his back, when another agent suddenly yelled, “Gun!”

A fourth agent responded, “He has a gun?”

The driver immediately yells back, “NO! He has NO gun. WE HAVE NO WEAPONS!”

The agent, closest to the car, was startled by this, appearing to forget the driver was still inside… and filming.

That’s when he reached into the vehicle, grabbed her phone, threw it from her hand, and attempted to pull her out of the car.

There is a lot going on in this video, so let’s break this down…

First… you don’t get to detain people based on how they look. The Fourth Amendment requires individualized, reasonable suspicion. Not “he looked Hispanic.”

Second… a passenger, during a traffic stop, is not automatically required to identify themselves, or hand over ID. Law enforcement needs a lawful basis… like reasonable suspicion that that specific person committed a crime… to demand identification.

Third… even when someone is lawfully detained, they are only required to comply with lawful orders tied to THAT detention. A passenger doesn’t lose constitutional protections just because someone else was pulled over, while driving.

Fourth… the First Amendment protects the right to record law enforcement, in public, while they’re doing their job. Knocking a phone away, or throwing it because someone is filming, is violating that constitutional right.

And finally, any use of force… breaking windows, pulling someone out of a car, and restraining them… has to be objectively reasonable under the Fourth Amendment. That requires specific, articulable facts, not assumptions about identity.

This wasn’t a checkpoint.
It wasn’t a border stop.

This was a traffic stop where a PASSENGER became the target because of how he looked.

And if that’s enough to trigger federal agents breaking windows, and violently pulling U.S. citizens out of cars… then every single person should be demanding answers, and accountability.

Because this could’ve ended with another U.S. citizen dead…

And next time, that U.S. citizen could be you.
