ICE drag girl out of car & body slam her to ground—then pin her face down & kneel on her neck.

"I'm 15!" she cries out. "I'm not resisting!"

Agents have now asked multiple area housing associations to unlock main doors—so they can go door to door.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Health choices are personal & parental. Government shouldn't force vaccines. Focus on individual liberty and personal responsibility. Education, not mandates, is key.

153 kids are in quarantine in South Carolina.

118 kids in Minneapolis.

This is what happens when we ignore the science.

When we stop vaccinating, long eradicated diseases come back.

The kids deserve better than this. Measles can disable. It can kill. And it’s completely preventable.

Hundreds of U.S. students quarantined amid measles outbreaks

At least 270 unvaccinated kids are staying home from school as measles continues to spread nationwide. "Expect more," one expert said.

Diane Keaton was a true Californian. She was a self-described oddball, uniquely stylish, deeply creative, funny, and an acting legend who could steal the screen in comic and dramatic roles alike. She was in a class all her own, an icon.

Yeah, I mean, some accuse libertarians of being softies; and the softy accusation is easier to brush off.

But it can be harder to brush off the accusation that we’re heartless.

I think that most folks who want big government are well-intentioned, but I think they often underestimate the drawbacks.

I got blocked too.

I’ve actually had a lot of positive interactions with him previously, but this particular conversation was one where he decided to use his freedom of association.

What government should and shouldn’t regulate can certainly be a very difficult conversation to have.

I oppose the death penalty; but I certainly oppose qualified immunity and think that ICE agents who have violated the unalienable rights of individuals should face consequences.

A 15-year-old autistic, intellectually disabled, and often non-verbal boy in Houston has been held in ICE custody for the past week without his family knowing where he was.

I confirmed this video is real with local news reports:

ICE abducted a 15-year-old autistic boy during a bathroom break and kept him hidden for nearly a week.
His mother thought he was missing. Even local police couldn’t find him because ICE never told anyone they had him.

He was selling fruit with his mom when he asked to use the restroom.

And now I’ve been blocked.

But that’s all good with me because I support both free speech and freedom of association.

Freedom for the win!

“it's not the government it's the medical community” doesn’t work when arguing that the government should be used to enforce the talk therapy standards that the scientific medical community consensus agrees on.

The scientific community should be free to advise not going to certain talk therapists.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.
