Harassment is wrong, of course. Still, ICE detaining a famous YouTuber over his posts is tremendous content.

the dhs response is so funny cus they’re not even disputing that it happened, they’re omitting the insane questions that were asked, & instead claiming that i wasn’t targeted for my political beliefs. why’d y’all ask me about trump, israel, houthis, hamas and my twitch bans then?

I don't understand the shade. He is an extremely left wing podcaster. Of course he is going to make a scene when he is detained.

Also, isn't it net positive that he is loud about it?

How is an American citizen expressing their political beliefs a crime or worth interrogation?
If you cave and talk the cops out of fear or weakness, I have sympathy.

If you talk at length to the cops because you know you are just the bro to stand up to tyranny, and you talking at length to the cops is fighting the power, you’re a dipshit.

When asked if the United States should have a military parade to show off its might, President Eisenhower responded:

“Absolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.”

The boring white men with money and power… the delusional ones who think they’re fascinating and hilarious… the ones who demonize anyone who doesn’t adore them… They’re killing this country (and us) to get more money and more power. Because they can’t get laid without it.

Make sure the "not in constitutional crisis yet" people see this one.
WELKER: Your secretary of state says everyone who's here, citizens and non-citizens, deserve due process. Do you agree?

TRUMP: I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. I don't know.

WELKER: Don't you need to uphold the Constitution?

TRUMP: I don't know

I wish people would understand the difference between analytical "AI" and generative algorithms using LLMs. The former is used for pattern recognition at high rates and precision humans can't replicate and highly useful in medicine and science. The latter is autocomplete with delusions of grandeur.

’60 Minutes’ top producer Bill Owens resigned, saying he lost independence, and CBS, like other mainstream news outlets, seems like it may bend the knee to Trump.

This is great and what I’m talking about. A bunch of old white folks in Iowa demanding answers from Grassley. Probably most of them were even Trump voters. This is a losing issue for him.
Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?"

Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’”

You own a factory. You criticize the President. The government seizes your assets. You bring a takings claim against the government under the Fifth Amendment. The Supreme Court says the government must return your assets. The government says no. What's so different to what they did yesterday?

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.

Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?

You can only manipulate a market for so long before foreign investors sell off their US treasury bonds and investments in the stock market. It’s a short term win to hedge a major big big loss in the future.

What some people aren’t factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs.
That’s cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge?
