They illegally dismantled the Board of Directors, who are the guardians of the soul of Ben & Jerry’s
Magnum has muzzled the voice of Ben & Jerry’s - they have been silenced from speaking out about Gaza, Trump and more
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents are caught on camera threatening to violently assault a U.S. citizen for exercising their First Amendment rights, in Columbia Heights, Minnesota.
In the video, an agent is saying,
“I’m telling you right now, it’ll be the first time and last time that I tell you this… you continue to follow us, I’m going to fucking put hands on you, arrest you, and take you in.”
The person filming responds calmly, “You can’t.”
The agent screams back, “Test me. Please test me!”
Then another agent jumps in with, “You aren’t just standing around and watching. You are impeding. You understand that concept?”
Which makes one thing painfully clear… the agent does not understand that concept at all.
Filming law enforcement in public, following them at a lawful distance, and observing their actions is constitutionally protected activity.
It is not obstruction.
It is not impeding.
And it sure as hell is not grounds for arrest.
But, threatening violence and detention because someone is recording you is retaliation for protected speech.
That IS illegal.
And that is what ICE has become… agents openly admitting on camera that they will illegally use force because someone dared to watch them.
Because they are violating the constitution, and they know that.
And if this doesn’t terrify you, then stop pretending you care about free speech or the Constitution.
🚨BREAKING: ICE/Border Patrol are now pistol-whipping 16-year-olds and smashing their heads into the curb.
In the video, an agent illegally tries to detain an unaccompanied minor, in Long Beach, California.
The child has his hands in the air.
An agent runs up and hits him in the head with a pistol. Then two agents tackle him and force his head down against the curb.
After the child is already on the ground, pinned by two armed adults, another agent brings out a K9, for what reason exactly?
Then one agent puts his knee on the child’s neck while another handcuffs him, even though he’s not resisting at all.
Unaccompanied minors are supposed to be handled through child-welfare procedures, not slammed into concrete by armed agents.
Using a gun as a weapon is deadly force. You don’t get to use deadly force on a child who is standing still with his hands up. And putting a knee on someone’s neck while they’re restrained is a textbook violation of use-of-force rules and basic constitutional rights.
ICE/Border Patrol agents are brutalizing people for sport, they are executing people because they can, trafficking children, and if they aren’t stopped no one will be safe.
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents are now in CHURCH PARKING LOTS, illegally stopping and demanding proof of citizenship from U.S. citizen families, in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.
In the video, a citizen notices ICE agents patrolling a church parking lot.
When the agents see a family getting out of their car, on their way into church, they cut through the grass and pull up directly next to them.
An ICE agent immediately demands ID.
The family shows their passports and explains to the agent, yes, they are U.S. citizens.
The observer calls the agents out, telling him they should be ashamed for stopping families on church property.
The agent responds by trying to silence the legal observer, ordering him to “get in his car” and stop obstructing.
The legal observer replies, “Why? I’m in a church parking lot. How about you leave.”
And the agents then get in their car and drive away.
ICE agents are illegally stopping and harassing people, on church property, making them feel unsafe to attend church and freely practice their religion.
And yet, not one Republican is outraged.
Which is surprising since last week Republicans screamed about protesters entering a church, claiming it violated the right to “practice religion freely.”
But now, FEDERAL AGENTS are harassing families at church, demanding proof of citizenship, intimidating U.S. citizens from feeling safe to practice religion freely…
and those same people say nothing.
Trump stripped protections from churches, explicitly giving ICE permission to operate on church property, so FEDERAL AGENTS could do exactly what Republicans lost their minds about…
Infringe on religious freedom, and terrorize families where they’re supposed to feel safest.
You can’t claim to support religious liberty while backing a government that is openly attacking it.
@HumanbeingAwk Could you drop specific links? Or at least the names of specific articles so we can find them on scihub? We wanna know what you've personally read to make sure we're all up to date on the same information. You can't make good points unless you give sources to back up your claims.
