WWII Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Robert Hilliard:
"Next week I'll be 101 years old. In February 1944 when I was 18 years old I was inducted into the army and what they taught me to do there was to kill people who set up detention camps. Can you imagine how I felt earlier this year when they announced that one of the future detention camps would be at that same camp landing in Florida? We have a fascist, a fascist government, that allows innocent people to be put in detention camps and incarcerated."

Packing thousands of straws together basically creates a low-tech pixel screen.
Each straw acts as an independent light pathway, perfectly mimicking how data channels work.
🚨 This video is deeply disturbing… especially if you are a woman.🚨
In Rochester, Minnesota, masked ICE agents ran a U.S. citizen’s plates, pulled her personal information, and then drove to her parents’ house to intimidate her.
A legal observer was in her car, in a Walmart parking lot, observing ICE agents.
As they left, she then drove behind them, and instead of continuing on their way, they deliberately drove 4 towns over, to the address tied to her registration… her parents’ house.
They stop in front of the house, got out, and walked up to her window…
“We just wanted to make sure you got home safe, Olivia.”
She tells them, “This is my parents’ house. This isn’t where I live.”
The agent responds, “If this is not where your vehicle is, you might want to go look that up with the state.”
Translation: we pulled your data, and we’re comfortable using it, and showing up at a residence connected to you.
Then they try to justify this intimidation…
“You know we were trying to get a child molester, right? His plate came back as murder.”
She immediately pushes back and says she knows they’re lying, because they stopped a woman in the parking lot.
They respond, “His wife then?”
So, now the story shifts… First it’s a male child molester, whose plate “came back as murder.” Then it’s his wife.
If their alleged target was a man… stopping and questioning a random woman, without individualized probable cause, is a constitutional problem.
Law enforcement cannot just detain or interrogate someone because they might be related to someone they claim to be investigating. You need specific, articulable suspicion tied to that individual. You don’t get to broaden the stop to whoever happens to be nearby.
And if someone is actually convicted of murder, they are in prison. They are not casually driving around a Walmart parking lot.
This is a perfect example of why DHS’s stories never add up, because they are always lying about going after “violent criminals.” They only say that to justify violating the constitution.
As the exchange continues, they warn her to “stop following us,” and illegally threaten to arrest for “impeding”… which she points out she has not done.
And if one video should set off every alarm bell in this country, about how ICE agents are weaponizing their authority against U.S. citizens who dare to observe them… it’s this one.
When federal agents decide that filming them is grounds to run your plates, pull your personal information, and physically show up at a residence tied to you, that’s a serious shift in how power is being used.
Access to government databases comes with strict limits for a reason. Those systems exist for legitimate investigations, not to send U.S. citizens a message.
When that access is used in a way that feels retaliatory, it raises real constitutional concerns, especially around protected speech and privacy.
And add that to the recent reports of ICE agents forcing entry into homes, without presenting judicial warrants, you start to see a broader pattern:
Agents are pushing the boundaries of authority in ways that directly impact ordinary people.
That combination… database access, residential intimidation, and aggressive tactics at people’s homes… should concern anyone who believes government power is supposed to have limits, and citizens are supposed to have protections.
The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.
After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.
People ask me all the time about compelling use cases of AI. Here’s a good one.
Millions of dogs go missing in the U.S. every year—and options for finding them are often painfully limited. Our Ring team saw an opportunity to use our community and technology to help, so they built Search Party.
When a pet owner posts about a lost dog in the Ring app, nearby participating outdoor Ring cameras in the neighborhood begin looking for potential matches. If yours spots what might be the missing dog, it lets you know. You see the photo alongside footage from your camera, then can choose to share the video with the pet’s owner.
The AI is trained on tens of thousands of dog videos so it can recognize different breeds, sizes, fur patterns, body features, unique marks, shape, and color. And privacy stays in your control—you decide each time whether to help.
The impact is energizing. Search Party has helped bring home 99 dogs in just 90 days—more than a dog a day since launching three months ago.
Ring customer Kylee was blown away by Search Party after her dog Nyx was found by a neighbor’s camera just 15 minutes after slipping through a tiny hole he’d dug under her backyard fence.
When a Ring customer and military veteran named Kurt realized his service dog was missing after jumping his fence, he worried he might have lost her for good. He quickly initiated a Search Party in the Ring app asking neighbors to help locate her. Later that day, he got the notification he was hoping for…Lainey was found.
Chris, a Ring camera owner, helped reunite another lost dog with its family after getting an app alert that said, “Your camera may have spotted a missing dog,” flagging footage he wouldn't have otherwise noticed.
And the list of stories like these keeps growing.
Now we’ve expanded this feature so that anyone in the U.S. can start a Search Party through the Ring app, even without a Ring camera (lost pets are one of the most common posts in the Ring Neighbors app—over 1M last year alone).
With roughly 90 million dogs in the U.S., think this is gonna matter for a lot of families. Good example of real-world impact, and proud of what the Ring team has built here. https://t.co/Pr3jzP4o4o
This should be a bigger story.
A Reagan-appointed judge just ruled Trump’s Energy Secretary illegally ran a secret panel of climate deniers to cook up a biased report and sabotage clean air rules.
They didn’t follow the law, didn’t follow the science, and betrayed the public to serve Trump’s agenda.
Disgraceful. https://t.co/s3xD3rfeIX
Correct. It took like 9 masked cowards to take down one soylennial protester and when they saw he was packing they pissed their pants and killed him. Just like Ross shit himself and killed a mom in a Honda pilot.
This is alpha male behavior? They should be in diapers.
I'm not sure the point of the frame by frame analysis of this execution. Why is a masked cop drawing down on a 37 yo lady in a Honda Pilot? Fed agents shouldn't pull guns on a middle aged woman unless she's a violent criminal or aiming a weapon at them. Just let her drive away
