🚨This video is terrifying.
And it’s another example of how ICE is making everyone less safe.
At Las Vegas International Airport, two people, in plain clothes, are seen trying to handcuff a man.
The man is screaming for help.
When the person filming asks a TSA agent what is happening, the agent replies, “It’s law enforcement.”
But when the person filming walks over and starts recording the people claiming to be law enforcement, one of them tries to swat the phone away.
Then, as more people begin watching, they get up and leave.
The man is left with a handcuff still attached to one of his wrists. He is visibly shaken and says they stole his belongings.
Think about how dangerous this is.
The government is normalizing armed agents, in plain clothes, grabbing people in public, without immediately identifying themselves in a way bystanders can verify. That creates confusion, panic, and makes it impossible for ordinary people to know whether they’re witnessing a lawful arrest, or a kidnapping.
In this case, people intervened… They started asking questions, and filming.
If no one had stepped in, who knows what would have happened to that man.
A government that expects people to simply accept unidentified agents, taking someone away without question, is making every person in this country less safe.
A public service announcement on behalf of former #CBJ TV play-by-play man @jrimercbj:
His X account was hacked, so don't open any links from him, no matter how authentic they may appear.
Hopefully @X will help him restore his account quickly.
@MLB@TMobile It feels like @MLB is doing everything possible to lose fans. It’s challenging to watch any games not to mention the team you grew up loving. I am not buying 15 apps to watch my #Reds or #MLB in general. And now you need Netflix to watch the HR Derby!
“I work the front desk at a small doctor’s office, and I wish people could see what happens on the other side of the phone.
Every day, older patients call us confused.
They are told to use the patient portal, upload documents, check lab results online, fill out forms before the visit, and confirm everything through a link.
Some of them do not know what a portal is.
Some do not have a smartphone.
Some have one, but they are afraid to click the wrong thing.
Last week, a man in his late 80s called about his test results.
He said, “Ma’am, I don’t mean to bother you, but the computer says I have a message and I don’t know how to open it.”
He sounded ashamed.
That broke my heart.
He should not have to feel ashamed for needing a human being.
Technology can be helpful. I understand that.
But when people who built this country are made to feel helpless because everything became a login and a password, we have gone too far.
Not everything needs to be an app.
Not every answer should be hidden behind a screen.
Sometimes people need a voice.
A patient person.
A real human who says, “Don’t worry, I can help you.”
Progress should not leave seniors behind.
Because one day, the world will move faster than us too.
And I hope someone is kind enough to slow down.

@monstershockey I love Trent and thrilled he was promoted to be a CBJ assistant coach, but saying no one has had a bigger impact on the organization is a bit much. I would argue Jared Bednar’s impact was greater, coaching the Monsters to win the Calder Cup.
On what seemed like a regular visit to the University of Minnesota Masonic Cancer Center, Marcus Foligno was surprised with the King Clancy Memorial Trophy! 🏆
Nick Foligno, who won the trophy in 2017, was also on hand for the big reveal! #NHLAwards
