🚨We've got the negotiated KIDS Act text.

🚩I'll do a deep dive but want to point out a massive red flag found in my initial read...

Section 526 of the KIDS Act creates a new federal entity under the Secretary of Commerce: the Kids Internet and Safety Partnership.

It has a five-year charter. But none of these government charters, task forces, etc, are ever "temporary." Federal entities created with five-year charters almost always get reauthorized.

So what is the Kids Internet and Safety Partnership tasked with building?...its primary deliverable is a federal "playbook" of best practices due within two years of enactment.

Let's look at the details 🧵

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries

Flotilla participants are arriving at Istanbul airport. This is what Israel military and prison personnel did to them.

[Parody Jeff @Parodyjeffx]

HOLY SHIT BRO 🚨

Israeli minister Ben-Gvir parades kidnapped flotilla activists like captured animals in his sick propaganda circus.

No regard for international law.

ICE punch a 16-year-old boy in the face.

Agent then violently detains a 14-year-old girl putting his hands around her neck.

Both kids are U.S. citizens.

Incident occurred in the Pueblo de Palmas neighborhood of Edinburg in Hidalgo County, Texas—in the Rio Grande Valley.

ICE violently detain father legally working in U.S.—injure daughter's leg & rip out her nose piercing.

"I told them that I was a U.S. citizen," she said.

"We don't care," agents retort. "That doesn't matter.

Agents were "dressed in everyday clothing"—and refused to show ID.

Father was then put in a white van and taken to an unknown location—his family still can't be sure who took him or where.

Rutilio Rosales is living legally in the U.S. with a work visa—that doesn't expire until 2029.

He was simply attending to a routine traffic violation at the Wilson County Courthouse in Lebanon, Tennessee.

Doctors are manually operating ventilators in order to keep babies alive in Cuba.

The U.S. is laying siege cruelly cut off all fuel, power is out, leaving hospitals without electricity. Dialysis patients, babies in NICU, and others will die. This’s a crime against humanity.

[Daniel Goldman @danielsgoldman]

ICE is not at airports to help TSA and reduce lines. They are there (without identification) trying to arrest people, exactly as I predicted.

ICE must be abolished.

[Trader Tony @trader_tony_]

ICE at airports is just laying the groundwork for ICE at polling places btw

[FactPost @factpostnews]

New reports reveal that ICE killed a U.S. citizen in March 2025 and never disclosed it until now.

Ruben Ray Martinez was shot multiple times in South Padre Island, Texas, just five days after turning 23.

[Dan Alban @DanAlban]

ICE SHOOTING OF U.S. CITIZEN COVERED UP FOR A YEAR

"Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, was shot by an @ICEgov Homeland Security Investigations (#HSI) officer in South Padre Island, Texas, on March 15, 2025, after what ICE described as a failure to follow law enforcement instructions during a traffic incident"

"While Martinez’s death was reported in local media at the time, the reports did not identify HSI involvement or disclose that a federal agent fired the shots through the driver-side window."

ICE incidents in Minnesota yesterday, 2/18/26. They have NOT left.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨VILE: If you think ICE couldn't sink any lower, they just did:

ICE Agents posed as a woman with car trouble. When a dad rushed out of his house to help, agents ambushed him and detained him.

They turned human decency into a trap. This is evil and disgusting.

[missmellie 🌊 @IMmissmellie]

Two women, in their own driveway, had assault rifles pointed at them. ICE agents broke their car window with a rifle stock and dragged them out.
No warrant. No crime. Just retaliation for observing.

[P a u l ◉ @SkylineReport]

BREAKING: A whistleblower says women at an ICE detention center were forced to wear diapers, denied basic sanitation, and packed onto floors “like goats in a cage.”

People lying in urine and feces.
No menstrual supplies.
Boxes filled with used diapers.

He reported it — and was fired.

This happened in Baltimore.

ICE is now tear-gassing children.

This took place on an Alex Pretti memorial bike ride and march in SW Portland.

This girl is believed to be 7-years-old.

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨BREAKING: Border Patrol agents illegally smashed through the glass door of a locked auto body shop, without a warrant, to detain the shop owner and an employee, in West Valley City, Utah.

Yes, agents are violating the Constitution all over the country, not just in Minnesota.

In the video, two agents are already standing inside the body shop when the owner’s wife asks them the most basic, constitutionally required question, “Do you have a warrant?” …after they broke in.

They illegally ignore her request and instead tell HER to stay back.

She continues demanding to see a warrant.

And then they say the quiet part out loud: “We don’t need one.”

They absolutely do, which is exactly what she tells them.

They continue ignoring her, after illegally breaking into a locked, private business, while ordering her to back up inside her own workplace.

The agents then begin questioning the shop owner and an employee, despite not knowing their status, and having zero probable cause.

She tells them, “My lawyer is coming, do you want to get sued?”

And the agents laugh.

Sit with that.

Border Patrol agents force entry into a private business, without a warrant, and laugh about accountability.

The agents admit on camera that they broke the glass door to enter the private property.

She says that’s why you had to break in… “Because you don’t have a warrant!”

And the agent says again: “It’s because we don’t need one.”

They detain the shop owner and an employee anyway, after breaking in, without a warrant… despite both men having no criminal records.

This is a blatant Fourth Amendment violation.

A locked business is private property… where a warrant is not optional.

If this is tolerated, it sets the precedent that federal agents can smash their way into ANY business, detain whoever they want, and disappear them.

That is not law enforcement.
That is an open assault on constitutional rights.
