If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Any other president would be facing an impeachment vote tonight.
By reacting to this in this manner, he’s admitting that he’s ordering our military to commit illegal and unconstitutional acts.
"Their crime? Recording a video that reminded members of the military that they are not supposed to obey illegal orders."
Can you imagine if this had been proclaimed by a democratic president?
One of these outbursts would have been a scandal of the century.
How can he just continue like this?

DHS claimed an incident on Oct. 3 showed agents were in danger of being "rammed."
In fact, body cams "suggest[] that the agent drove erratically and brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."

![Defendants also highlighted an October 3, 2025 video, presumably to show that agents driving the streets faced constant danger from cars ramming them on purpose. Axon Body 3. Video. But instead of leaving this impression, the video, which almost entirely consists of a view of the back seat of the car and some dialogue about how the agent’s “body cam is on” and he is “still recording,” suggests that the agent drove erratically and brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force. Id. This also calls into question Hewson’s testimony that motorists have rammed into agents every day during the operation. [FN 8]
[FN 8] 8 The Court acknowledges that at times agents have dealt with aggressive drivers. See, e.g., Axon_Body_4_Video_2025-10-23. But this has not been the norm in the videos that the Court has viewed, with agents instead often treating cars that are merely following them but not driving aggressively as potential threats. See, e.g., Axon_Body_4_Video_2025-10-23_1011_D01A31902 at 2:00–3:20 (showing an agent stating to a woman who had been behind his vehicle and gotten out to video agents as they stopped at the exit of an alley that “if you keep following us, we’re going to arrest you, you’ve been warned,” but nothing prevented the agents from continuing to drive); Axon_Body_4_Video_2025-10-23_1012_D01A45488 at 2:00–2:45 (showing that, despite having a clear path to continue driving, an agent gets out of his vehicle and tells a woman in the car behind him who was honking that “You know what you’re doing is illegal and you could be arrested for impeding law enforcement. I’m just warning you . . . following law enforcement, honking, and harassing agents is impeding law enforcement”); Axon_Body_4_Video_2025-10-25_1045_D01A36942 at 3:42–3:50 (Agent (tapping on glass of a car behind agents’ vehicle): “Stop following us.” Bystander: “They’re allowed to follow you.” Agent: “No they’re not.”).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreifvyjcsr7lb6a65impvn6jer5hiorc5r4isr7hwbeussapmkqhnqi@jpeg)

Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.
One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.
