If this isn’t already, it should be illegal.
Two ICE officers have been placed on administrative leave and are accused of lying under oath about an incident in Minneapolis last month involving two Venezuelan immigrants, one of whom was shot in the leg by an agent. After the incident, the two Venezuelan men, Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna and Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, were charged with felony assault, falsely accused of beating an ICE officer with a broom and snow shovel. Sosa-Celis was shot in the right thigh. While the Department of Homeland Security originally claimed the two men had attacked the agent, video evidence and witness testimonies contradicted the accusations. Federal prosecutors in Minneapolis last week dropped the felony assault charges against Aljorna and Sosa-Celis. Criminal defense attorney Frederick Goetz, who represents Aljorna, says the admission of wrongdoing is “unusual” given that the Justice Department has been zealous in carrying out President Trump’s anti-immigration agenda. It was “not only a dismissal, but a dismissal with prejudice, meaning that my client can never be charged again for anything to do with this incident,” says Goetz.
Someone needs to assign a 'Carer Country' to the U.S., they very clearly can't make adult decisions anymore.
'Once' could be considered a mistake, 'Twice' is absolutely deliberate.
#USPolitics #MorallyCorrupt #TheyLearnedNothingTheFirstTimeAround
At the start of #WWII, Industrialists in Germany sided with Hitler believing he had power to win ultimate authority. They backed him simply to retain their own money and power.
We see the same history repeating itself in the #US as #Capitalist companies like #Apple, #Amazon and #Microsoft cozy up to #Fascist #American #Oligarchs like #Musk and his fellow uber rich tech bros.
By remaining on #Twitter, companies like #Mac are supporting the idea that the fascism and open hate currently fomenting on #twitter is simply public discourse.
This puts companies like #Apple in a powerful position where their continued engagement shows acceptance and normalization of this #fascist #hate in the guise of #freespeech.
I used to purchase Apple products regularly, but plan to steer clear in future. I even recently avoided buying new earbuds from Apple, happy to say #Sennheiser got my money this round.
I refuse to contribute any more to these #greedy, #morallycorrupt #capitalists. Capitalism has shown it will openly accept and normalize #Eugenics, #Hate, #Discrimination, #Abuse and #Disinformation; all in pursuit of a fatter wallet, no questions asked.
If/when we ultimately descend into a war with these open carry fascists, know that they have been long funded by good ole’ multi billion dollar American capitalist companies like #Apple.
Apple is the new #IBM.
