@CRM020863 @PierrePoilievre If we font have development charges to build in cities, then who is going to pay for the infrastructure to support your houses and people who will live in them. And let's start with the costbof a ready to build lot in the region. The lot is typically half the cost to build a home
šØLast night, in Minneapolis, federal agents fired green chemical gas into a residential neighborhood after community members showed up to document what was happening on their own block.
Letās be very clear about what that meansā¦
This wasnāt a federal courthouse.
This wasnāt federal property.
This was people standing in the streets where they live⦠streets lined with houses, apartments, kids, babies, and pregnant people.
That green gas didnāt just hit people outside. It spread through the neighborhood, into yards and homes.
Agents also threw flash bangs at a family trying to leave because of the smoke, even though they had small children, including a 6-month-old who was later taken to the hospital by ambulance.
And, the green gas matters. This isnāt ānormalā tear gas.
That same green smoke has been documented before⦠in Portland⦠where it was used by federal agents to āprotectā federal buildings.
Independent testing found it contained hexachloroethane, which produces zinc chloride smoke when deployed. The U.S. military stopped using it decades ago because of how toxic it is.
Exposure to this gas is linked to burning skin and eyes, coughing, vomiting, chest pain, and serious respiratory injury, with the risk of delayed and long-term lung damage. This is especially dangerous for infants, children, pregnant people, and anyone with asthma or other respiratory conditions.
Now, federal agents are using it in neighborhoods.
And on top of that⦠ICE and other federal agents are not supposed to be doing crowd control in residential areas at all.
Their authority is limited to specific federal functions. Crowd control in city streets is not one of them. They do not have blanket jurisdiction to gas neighborhoods because people are in their own neighborhood streets.
So what weāre watching is federal agents:
⢠acting outside their role
⢠performing crowd control where they have no jurisdiction
⢠firing toxic green gas into civilian neighborhoods
⢠and exposing families inside their own homes to chemicals that cause real physical harm.
This isnāt public safety.
This isnāt lawful enforcement.
This is the federal government treating American neighborhoods like hostile territory⦠and using chemical weapons to do it.
That should alarm everyone, because there is nothing stopping this from happening in your neighborhood next.
šØBREAKING: A new video out of Minneapolis shows the truth ICE doesnāt want you to see⦠compliance does not protect you.
In this video, ICE agents pull up to a vehicle and immediately demand the driverās ID.
The man calmly asks the most basic, legally protected question: āWhy am I being pulled over?ā
They never answer⦠because they donāt have a legal reason to stop him.
Even so, the man begins to retrieve his ID anyway.
An agent then orders him to turn off the vehicle. The driver says, āNo problem, sir, Iāll get out.ā
The agent refuses, then immediately changes commands again: āI need to see your ID.ā
Suddenly, an agent on the passenger side pounds on the window. Then he strikes it with a hard object, clearly threatening to break it.
At the same time, the driver-side agent again demands the ID.
This is not confusion. This is intentional command overload⦠a tactic used to manufacture ānoncomplianceā so force can be justified.
ICEās own training materials explicitly state:
āNoncompliance or refusal to cooperate with officer commands, without fighting back, does NOT violate 18 U.S.C. § 111.ā
In plain English: not immediately obeying commands is NOT a crime.
And hereās the key legal issue:
Unless agents have:
⢠a valid arrest warrant, or
⢠probable cause that a specific crime has been committed
they cannot:
⢠use force
⢠break windows
⢠issue violent threats
⢠detain or arrest someone
Probable cause means specific, articulable facts that would make a reasonable officer believe a crime occurred⦠not vibes, not attitude, not silence, not filming, not asking questions.
Back in the video, the passenger-side agent escalates further, shouting:
āFirst time I ask you to roll your window down, you do it.ā
The driver responds:
āAre you in danger, sir? Are you escalating this?ā
The agent replies:
āI donāt know. Hands up.ā
Despite the driver repeatedly attempting to comply and hand over ID, agents continue shouting conflicting commands.
At one point, the agent orders the driver to ātalk to the original agentā⦠which is exactly what the driver was doing before the window-smashing threat.
Then the man asks, āAre you feeling unsafe or uneasy?ā
The agent responds, āI donāt know, man.ā while standing on the passenger side of the car, smirking.
The driver finally says what anyone would say surrounded by armed men:
āHow many guns do I have around me? I need you to calm down. Iām asking him to stop banging on my car. Is that too much?ā
He even offers⦠again⦠to step out of the vehicle.
This is not law enforcement. This is intimidation fishing for an excuse.
No probable cause.
No warrant.
No lawful basis for force.
And yet, the escalation came entirely from the agents.
This video proves something chilling: you can comply, stay calm, ask lawful questions⦠and still be threatened with violence.
So, the question isnāt āWhy didnāt he just comply?ā
The question is how many people have already been assaulted under this exact playbook⦠and how many more will be, before this stops?
@Felyan_19@Daractenus You mean a return to the Iran that existed before thevCIA and oil corporations financed the overthrow of Iran-s government by a dictator? Because America First right?
@Felyan_19@Daractenus It's sad to remember it used to be peaceful country until the US government CIA and oil corporations financed the overthrow of the government by a dictator.
@GeekerA021@Daractenus What the fuck? Iran was never Christian. It just wasn't ruled by radical clerics. It was quite an advanced and peaceful country until THE AMERICAN CIA AND MAJOR OIL COMPANIES FINANCED THE OVERTHROW OF THE GOVERNMENT AND INSTALLATION OF A CRUEL DICTATOR who was friendly to big oil
This is William Vermie, a U.S. Army combat veteran and Purple Heart Recipient. He was shoved, handcuffed and detained by ICE for eight hours for watching an arrest.
RETWEET if you stand with Vermie against ICE!
This guy was driving down the street and flipped off this woman because of the political bumper sticker she has on her car and it didnāt go as he planned! šššššššš
@DrNeilStone I have friends who spent months in an iron lung. One started having muscle problems again when he got older ending up in a wheelchair and now he needs a powered chair. They are slightly older than me. I was fortunate that the vaccine had become available when I was young.
@TheEnglishRebel@kajakallas Currently, the way that Ukraine is holding up under Russian attack I think the EU & UK could easily withstand Russia without the US. And the situation will improve going forward. Many forget that France & the UK are both have nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them.
@JohnDues@RMapleCan You would put tankers in the BC straits? Tell me you know nothing about marine navigation. This could easily happen to a tanker in the straits. https://t.co/YiwOFOKHmb
@badendave@RMapleCan This is Canada, the federal government and the PM do not control the provinces and the premiers. That's one of the reason we have Provincial trade barriers.
@sharonne_young@RMapleCan You don't follow anyone you disagree with to see what they're saying? If you don't you're confined to an echo chamber. And there is no artifacts organization, so I'm notcsure how anyone is chief of pr. Lastly, my dad served in WWII and I am most definitely anti-fascist.
