Literally every military person in this room has turned their back to the Commander In Chief....while he wanders around like a guy at the prom who no one wants to dance with.
THIS is the red card Donald Trump had overturned 👇
The White House called Gianni Infantino at FIFA & had it overturned
Corruption doesn’t even hide anymore
Walmart just got sued for secretly recording customer voiceprints when they called customer service.
But here's the full picture because this story is bigger than one lawsuit.
Walmart is currently being sued for biometric data collection three separate ways simultaneously:
— customer voiceprints captured during service calls.
— warehouse worker voiceprints collected via headsets to track inventory and monitor workers.
— facial recognition cameras in stores capturing shoppers' face geometry and uploading it to a database.
three biometric collection systems. one company.
now the wider picture:
Walmart is not alone. this is an industry pattern.
McDonald's, Applebee's, Chipotle, Domino's, Wingstop, Red Lobster, and Portillo's have all been sued for capturing customer voiceprints when people called to place orders. you called to order a pizza. they built a voice profile.
Verizon enrolled customers in voice ID during service calls without telling them.
Your voiceprint is not a password. you cannot change it. If Walmart's database gets breached and company databases do too, your voice is permanently compromised. every future voice authentication system you use is now at risk.
and this is only illegal in Illinois. BIPA is the only US biometric law that lets individuals sue. In 47 other states, companies can collect your voiceprint, face scan, or fingerprints without legal consequence.
The "just call customer service" pipeline has been a biometric data-collection pipeline for years.
you just didn't know.
@TheWisdomToKnow@JamesTate121 Not true. Obama wanted a public OPTION. You know ... OPTIONAL. Republicans lost their damn minds and started screeching death panels. So instead of being able to buy into Medicare early we have the private insurance doing what it does... deny coverage and pocket the $.
@ObnoxionRey@allenanalysis These are people that have no trouble with the unspeakable horrors that Trump participated in with his buddy Epstein and whoever else.
🚨BREAKING: Border Patrol agents violently pulled a U.S. citizen PASSENGER from a vehicle, slamming him to the ground…
Then shouted that he had a gun, even though he didn’t.
In Tucson, Arizona, state troopers pulled over a vehicle. While they were stopped on the side of the road, the state trooper called Border Patrol because the PASSENGER appeared to be Hispanic.
When Border Patrol arrived, the situation immediately escalated to agents smashed both passenger-side windows.
One agent tried to hit the phone out of the driver’s hand, who was recording, as they violently ripped the backseat passenger out of the vehicle, and threw him onto the ground, while multiple agents pin him down.
Then, an agent ordered the driver out of the vehicle.
She responded, “I didn’t do anything.”
The agent replied, “Step out or you are going to get tackled.”
At that point, at least three agents already had the passenger pinned, with his hands behind his back, when another agent suddenly yelled, “Gun!”
A fourth agent responded, “He has a gun?”
The driver immediately yells back, “NO! He has NO gun. WE HAVE NO WEAPONS!”
The agent, closest to the car, was startled by this, appearing to forget the driver was still inside… and filming.
That’s when he reached into the vehicle, grabbed her phone, threw it from her hand, and attempted to pull her out of the car.
There is a lot going on in this video, so let’s break this down…
First… you don’t get to detain people based on how they look. The Fourth Amendment requires individualized, reasonable suspicion. Not “he looked Hispanic.”
Second… a passenger, during a traffic stop, is not automatically required to identify themselves, or hand over ID. Law enforcement needs a lawful basis… like reasonable suspicion that that specific person committed a crime… to demand identification.
Third… even when someone is lawfully detained, they are only required to comply with lawful orders tied to THAT detention. A passenger doesn’t lose constitutional protections just because someone else was pulled over, while driving.
Fourth… the First Amendment protects the right to record law enforcement, in public, while they’re doing their job. Knocking a phone away, or throwing it because someone is filming, is violating that constitutional right.
And finally, any use of force… breaking windows, pulling someone out of a car, and restraining them… has to be objectively reasonable under the Fourth Amendment. That requires specific, articulable facts, not assumptions about identity.
This wasn’t a checkpoint.
It wasn’t a border stop.
This was a traffic stop where a PASSENGER became the target because of how he looked.
And if that’s enough to trigger federal agents breaking windows, and violently pulling U.S. citizens out of cars… then every single person should be demanding answers, and accountability.
Because this could’ve ended with another U.S. citizen dead…
And next time, that U.S. citizen could be you.
The US mows roughly 12 million acres of roadside every year. That's larger than the state of Maryland, maintained as mowed grass that feeds almost nothing, at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars annually.
North Carolina figured out a better use for it in 1985. What started as 12 experimental acres of native wildflowers planted along roadsides has grown to 1,500 managed acres across the state, saving an estimated $200,000 a year in mowing costs while providing habitat for pollinators, birds, and the beneficial insects that control crop pests on nearby farms.
A 2024 BioScience review found something surprising to many: a mown safety strip immediately adjacent to the pavement, with native wildflowers planted in the wider verge beyond it, actually reduces insect mortality by keeping pollinators on one side of the road rather than crossing it.
12 million acres is an enormous amount of potential habitat that currently does almost nothing. The fix isn't complicated. It's mostly just stopping the mower in the right places.

If you think liberals steal elections and control the weather but also let Republicans control all three branches of government you may be fucking stupid beyond repair.
@skumWgmi No. It happened because Republicans ran on union busting and non workers voted for it. Instead of expanding worker rights jealous idiots threw away security for everyone.
I’m really crying cause this is the funniest and cutest thing I have seen all year! I can’t wait for this stage of life! Put your babies in sports!!!❤️🥰
