These lawlessness goons shot a US Citizen food bank worker yesterday on his way to work.

If it can happen to him, it can happen to you or someone you love.

I can't stomach Mike Johnson's Lies. We are angry, at you Mike. You are the one keeping it closed. No one else, just you. The only people in America that still believe you or The Child-Rapist is the 23% left of your dying base.

It’s only a concept of an idea. Anyway, if it isn’t universal healthcare, it’s irrelevant.

Newsom: "He is not screwing around. He's changing the rules. He's rigging the game because he knows he'll lose if all things are equal. He did not expect California to fight fire with fire."

In the past month, a serial child rapist has murdered 100 people in the Caribbean, destroyed the East Wing of the White House, neutralized our Congress, & stolen food from 20% of American children.

We pay him, house him, drive him, fly him, and pay for his bodyguards.

Also bad: Alvin Holsey, head of SouthCom, recently resigned with no explanation, amid reports that he questioned Trump's illegal boat bombings.

Now Republicans are declining to press for his testimony even in a classified setting, Rep Adam Smith tells me:

The ONLY thing better is universal healthcare. THAT is what we SHOULD have, but it’s more important to them to protect the insurance industry which rips off Americans every single day, with whatever they think they can get away with! It’s an insane Ponzi scheme.

There’s no opt-out, no warrant requirement, and almost no oversight. In a nation built on personal freedom, the idea that the government can identify, track, and store your data simply by pointing a phone at your face should alarm everyone citizens and non-citizens alike.

This is a turning point a shift toward biometric policing becoming a part of everyday American life. The same surveillance systems once confined to airports and borders are now appearing in neighborhoods, workplaces, and public demonstrations.

and even logs GPS coordinates of where the scan occurred. ICE has provided almost no details about how errors are handled or whether individuals are notified of false matches, and there’s no clear policy limiting who can access or share that data once it’s collected.

What makes this especially alarming is the system’s reach and permanence. Mobile Fortify is capable of storing facial images and fingerprint scans for up to 15 years, regardless of a person’s immigration or citizenship status. Each scan can pull up personal data (photo, date of birth, nationality)

deep inside the country. If the algorithm flags someone as “not a U.S. citizen,” agents can override traditional proof of citizenship, even something as official as a birth certificate, in favor of whatever the system reports. And those scanned have no right to refuse, including U.S. citizens.

a tool that allows agents to scan a person’s face or take contactless fingerprints directly from a smartphone. The app connects in real time to massive federal biometric databases, including those used by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, to verify identity and immigration status instantly.

Our Constitution guarantees a right to privacy, yet that right is being steadily eroded by the Trump administration’s expanding surveillance powers. ICE has quietly introduced a new mobile app called Mobile Fortify,
