It's easy to pull back right now, & try to just ignore what's happening, but at the very least you need to stay informed. Don't be caught off guard by what's going on around you.

DHS getting basic 4th Amendment law wrong on its official Twitter account.
Seems like this post is bound to show up as an exhibit in one of the cases challenging ICE/Border Control enforcement actions.

The U.S Government is now threatening fellow NATO members with 10% tariffs, rising to 25% on 1st June, if we don’t hand Greenland to the mad Emperor in the White House.
I wonder if most Americans even know this is happening?
Under no circumstances should we cave to this economic warfare.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

The only lawless behavior I see in this video is ICE harassing and threatening people for no good reason.
ICE authority is limited by federal law. They exist for immigration enforcement only. They do not have general police powers. (8 U.S.C. § 1357)

We’re watching the DOJ actively protect the single most infamous sex-trafficking operation of our time.
