🚨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.
BREAKING: DHS just waived all environmental laws to blast border barriers and roads through Big Bend National Park.
This marks the first time in American history the feds have gutted dozens of laws to push industrial-level construction through a national park.
Houston's utterly ragged and dishelved chaos is its charm. When people rip on it we just respond, "yeah, you can't hang." And we understand not being able to hang. It's probably a deeply troubling flaw in your character if you *can* hang with Houston. -OS
Houston's (lack of) World Cup preparation is so hilariously endearing. They like... painted the concrete dividers on Hardy Toll Road for a few miles and then gave up. Fuck it. You want art? Every other Union Pacific car is tagged "Kill Cops." There; art. Welcome to Houston. -OS
the scary part is, for incredibly reckless funding cut the DOGE teens made that becomes almost immediately disastrous like this, there’s dozens if not hundreds more whose impact won’t fully be grasped until decades from now
Shortly after the election I grieved for and later made peace with the extremely uncomfortable fact that most of us are going to die significantly earlier than we would like, and the cause may very well trace a direct line to the actions of this administration.
