Trump has signed an Executive Order attempting to ban states and localities from regulating AI.

Remember when we were not losing jobs in droves, or at odds with all our allies, or attacking other nations for their resources, or deploying masked thugs to terrorize our citizens, or pardoning drug traffickers and violent criminals in exchange for bribes?
It was only little over a year ago.

This 20 year old citizen, Mobashir was tackled, brutalized & abducted by #ICE.
"I felt like I was getting assaulted. I was getting kidnapped. And that’s exactly what it was,” he said.
He poses this question: If this #ICELawlessness is happening on camera, what's happening off camera?

ICE continues to assault, harass, & harm Americans. In Minneapolis, incompetent tax payer funded ICE hit a pedestrian & pepper sprayed civilians from their vehicles.
This happened after ICE decided to go up & down a street demanding to see people's IDs, caused chaos & injuries, & then left.

As a constituent, I am asking that @governorwalz.mn.gov and @keithellison.bsky.social arrest these men and prosecute them before they kidnap someone and intentionally freeze them to death
ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.
Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

Corporations and ultra-rich individuals with numerous business interests cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own bottom lines.
When billionaire conglomerates take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.
