Keep posting this so people don’t forget how truly bad this event was.

Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500+ pardons and slush fund payoffs.

GOP House Rep. Jeff Van Drew on Americans struggling with rising costs:

"You better just be breaking your backs & working hard. Maybe get yet another job.”

No, we’re done with this shit. The entire House and Senate should look for another job because we’re firing all of you!

As Trump sends ICE to airports in America today, and as he pushes to force women to show marriage certificates to get a voter ID when they change their names, let’s remember that this happened in an Episode of The Handmaids Tale.

ICE stopped Emily, her wife and child at the airport, telling her that her marriage certificate is not valid before separating the family.

The U.S. is now doing to Iran what the IDF did to Gaza: Total destruction, mass bombing of every structure, from hospitals and schools to universities and police stations. This is a war crime carried out by Trump.

[Ricardo @Ric_RTP]

The biggest power grab since Standard Oil is happening today and almost nobody is paying attention.

Tech companies are building their own power grid.

They're about to produce more electricity than entire COUNTRIES.

Right now at the White House, CEOs from Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Oracle, and xAI are signing a pledge that most people will scroll past.

But it might be the most important business deal of the decade.

They're committing to build, bring, or buy 100% of their own electricity for every new AI data center.

Their own power plants. Their own transmission lines. Their own energy infrastructure.

These are SOFTWARE companies agreeing to become power utilities.

Here's why this matters for everyone reading this:

By the end of this year, at least 5 US data centers will each consume over 1 gigawatt of continuous power.

1 gigawatt powers 850,000 homes. 5 of these facilities will use more electricity than some entire countries.

The US grid physically cannot handle it.

Capacity prices in the PJM grid, which covers 13 states, exploded from $28.92 per megawatt-day to $329.17 in just two years. That's literally a 1,000% increase.

So what do you do when the grid can't support you?

You stop using the grid.

Amazon is buying nuclear reactors. Microsoft restarted Three Mile Island.
Meta signed 20-year nuclear deals.
Chevron is building a 2.5 gigawatt natural gas plant in West Texas specifically to power data centers.

These companies aren't supplementing the grid. They're replacing it. For themselves.

Think about what's actually happening here:

7 companies now control more computing power than most governments. And today they're signing paperwork to control their own energy supply too.

Computing. Data. Energy. Infrastructure.

That's not a "tech" company anymore.

A Harvard energy law professor already called the pledge "meaningless" because utilities in PJM are spending tens of billions on power projects for data centers and those costs are STILL being spread across ratepayers anyway.

The pledge has zero legal teeth. No enforcement mechanism. No compliance monitoring. No penalty for breaking it.

It's a political move designed to get tech companies through the midterms without becoming the villain of every campaign ad about electricity bills.

But the underlying shift is real and irreversible:

Tech companies are becoming energy companies.

Energy companies are becoming AI infrastructure.

And the line between Big Tech and Big Energy is about to disappear completely.

The big question here:

When seven companies control both the world's intelligence AND the power that runs it, who exactly is governing who?

Incredible scenes out of Tehran. March 4, the US began dropping 2000 pound bombs on the densely populated city of 9 million people. I guess we’re not trying to free the Iranians anymore. Also, the administration still says this is not a WAR.

Rep. Thomas Massie says he’s ready to use the nuclear option if the DOJ refuses to unredact the names of Epstein’s clients.

He warns he will simply start reading Epstein’s client names publicly if Pam Bondi’s Department of Justice does not release them.

“If the victims want to give them to me, I’ve expressed that I’m willing to do that.”

This is Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse, honoring a veteran he cared for at a VA hospital.

The son of the deceased veteran just posted this video on Facebook with the following message:

“RIP Alex Pretti,
he was my Dads ICU nurse, he read my dad’s final salute at the VA after he passed away. Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point. Also my Fathers final words to me was continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex’ sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration. In my Dads words I encourage you all to continue to ‘fight the good fight’”

BREAKING: ICE just shot and killed another unarmed person in Minneapolis. “It was an execution,” witness says.

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨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.

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents were caught on video illegally detaining a U.S. citizen in Richfield, Minnesota.

In the video, ICE agents surround a man who is already on his knees on the pavement, with his hands raised, while agents stand over him and verify his citizenship.

This alone is a serious constitutional violation.

ICE does not have authority to detain U.S. citizens to check their immigration status.

They also do not need someone on their knees to “verify” citizenship.

And forcing someone into a compliance position on the ground without probable cause constitutes an unlawful detention under the Fourth Amendment.

After agents confirm he is a U.S. citizen, the man stands up and begins yelling… visibly angry and shaken.

The man is yelling at agents for swarming his car at gun point, a U.S. citizen, and forcing him out. Saying, “I could’ve died.”

ICE agents then try to claim it was because of his registration. A line they often use, that still doesn’t justify their actions.

What this video shows is federal agents detaining first, forcing compliance, then checking legality afterward… the opposite of how policing in a constitutional system is supposed to work.

If ICE can force a U.S. citizen to the ground over a car they happen to be driving, citizenship no longer protects you.

This isn’t a minor mistake. It’s a clear abuse of power and a violation of the Fourth Amendment, and every American should be outraged.
