RAYE’s new song Click Clack Symphony feat. Hans Zimmer has been out for *checks calendar* 9 days, and I’ve listened to it 100x already. I counted. I’m incapable of turning it off. Thank you @raye and @HansZimmer for the most creative, gorgeous collab I could’ve never imagined.
🚨ICE agents are now assaulting U.S. citizens for filming in a public parking lot, in Lawrence, Kansas.
In the video, a woman is walking through a parking lot, well away from any arrest happening.
An ICE vehicle pulls up beside her.
Another agent runs toward her yelling, “Get back,” even though she is not interfering with anything.
She calmly asks, “How far back?”
He yells, “That far!”
She complies.
She turns and walks in the opposite direction to get to her own car.
The agent continues yelling for her to get back.
She explains she’s trying to get back to her vehicle.
He starts to walk away… until he notices she is filming.
That’s when he turns around, rushes back toward her with more aggression, and screams, “Get back now!” while he shoves her.
And just to clarify…
She is in a public space.
She is not obstructing.
She is complying.
She is exercising her First Amendment right to record federal agents in public.
She is attempting to access her own property.. her vehicle.
An officer cannot escalate force simply because someone pulls out a phone.
They cannot create arbitrary boundaries that shift the second a camera appears.
They cannot use physical force against someone who is actively moving away.
A federal agent shoving a compliant citizen, after realizing she’s recording, is retaliation for protected speech… and that’s illegal.
But, the question we need to keep asking is…
Why do ICE agents get so angry when they are being filmed?
@JeffBezos Canceling @TheWheelOfTime and @etoileonprime within 2 weeks of each other? Good grief. Give these shows some room and time to breathe. I don’t want to keep getting invested in shows on your platform if you’re just going to keep canceling them. #SaveWOT#SaveEtoile
@DonaldJTrumpJr Absolutely fucking classless. Unfathomable lack of humanity. I don’t care how much you disagree with his politics. If you claim to be a Christian, an apology is in order.
@Instacart absolutely unreal that your app has been down all day and you haven’t told customers. The lack of communication with your shoppers and your customers is absolutely inexcusable. #shame#down#instacartfail#christmasfail
@AmericanAir Pay your flight attendants. I won't be flying American until you do and I'm telling all my friends to do the same. Absolutely shameful. Will be a faithful @Delta customer!
@valvesoftware when are you guys going to fix the heinous amount of cheaters in CS2? We wait a decade for a pretty new game and it gets ruined by hackers daily. Fix it.
@OnTrac_Shipping I’ve had 2 orders shipped through you guys by 2 different retailers. Both times you lost my package & never delivered it. The retailers refunded me, but the lack of response or delivery from you is horrific. Both items were irreplaceable & I’m so sad. Shame on u.
@SonyaBelousova The @onepiecenetflix score is a masterpiece & a delight. THANK YOU for giving us hours of fantastic fun music. Also, a special kudos to y’all for recognizing that there isn’t a sound in the world that epitomizes a creepy clown better than an oboe reed by itself 😂
Ready for a hot take? I’ve now seen Barbie and Oppenheimer. I have no idea how Barbie managed to climb into the same conversation as Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer lived up to the hype. Barbie fell oh so flat at the end. I said it.
Today, some of the books that shaped my life—and the lives of so many others—are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone.
@OnTrac_Shipping atrocious experience. Not only was the package too late for my best friend’s citizenship ceremony (it was delayed and misrouted twice), but it still hasn’t been delivered a week and a half later. No help at all from customer service. I’m livid.
