ICE claimed that Lorenzo Salgado Araujo drove his van into one of their SUVs and later attempted to run an ICE agent over. The first thing our local media pointed out was the lack of damage on Araujo’s van. One of the best investigative journalists in Houston, Jeremy Rogalski, found surveillance camera footage showing ICE ramming the van minutes before shots were fired.
The ICE story is already falling apart.

🚨 Republican candidate Ann Manning Martin has been caught forging thousands of signatures to get her name on the ballot.
She was campaigning on "election integrity."
Wiping this company and the people behind it off the face of the earth would be an incredible boon to humanity. They've done nothing but make the world a worse place.
You know what actually keeps neighborhoods cooler in the summer? TREES. Literally trees. Stop cutting them down for data centers and then acting shocked when our cities turn into ovens. Give us our damn trees back. We don’t need another data center.
We can’t have nice things because the white folks in this country are too racist to share with people who don’t look like them. They would rather burn it ALL DOWN than share! Reagan created the “welfare queen” myth to use racism to dismantle the social safety net for everyone
Four states are suing Meta for $1.4 trillion.
That is one trillion four hundred billion dollars.
Meta’s entire market cap is $1.5 trillion.
So they are asking for 93 percent of the company’s existence.
The math is simple. Number of teenagers exposed to addictive design times the maximum fine per violation under state law.
Millions of teenagers times thousands of dollars per violation.
Equals one trillion four hundred billion.
Meta said no case in history has ever ordered a penalty that large.
They are correct.
No company has ever deliberately engineered a product specifically to addict children then lied about it at scale until Meta.
New Mexico went to trial first.
Jury found Meta liable.
Ordered $375 million in damages.
The judge let the bigger case proceed.
Now four states are asking for 3,733 times that amount.
Meta’s executives told investors to expect material losses on youth scrutiny.
They did not mention $1.4 trillion in the filing.
If the jury sides with the states even partially.
Meta cannot survive the verdict.
Capital raises. Asset sales. Restructuring.
All of it.
The company that said social media addiction is not a real psychiatric condition.
Is about to find out if a jury disagrees.
The trial is August 18.
The ‘80s era Reagan ‘Black welfare queen eating steak while you whites eat hamburger’ has devolved into
‘Black woman has a designer bag while you whites shop at Ross dress for less’
Same old 💩 for a diff generation
Vance will never be a president & he knows it ⚡️
Nancy Cartwright says she auditioned for Lisa Simpson but landed Bart instead, and Ralph Wiggum is her most requested voice
“I'm actually stunned when people don't know that the voice of Bart really is a chick. I say, ‘Yeah, I'm Bart Simpson, man. Who the hell are you?’”
“I'd like to say about 3,000 of us auditioned, but I went in originally for the voice of Lisa. The script was right there, and I saw a picture of Lisa Simpson and the description: ‘Eight years old, middle child.’ Then right next to it was this audition piece for Bart”
Q: “What's the voice of the character you get asked to do the most?”
Nancy: “I think that must be Ralph. Ralph Wiggum. The thing about Ralph is I love him so much, but they just sort of stick him in any scene because he's such a non sequitur in life. They just plug him in”
What's terrifying is eventually all pre-mass surveillance cars will break down, run out of replacement parts, & rust away, & our children & grandchildren will accept cars that constantly tracks you or can be remotely deactivated at a moment's notice as perfectly normal
