[NBCBoston]: Video: Feds break SUV window while detaining man after church on Mother's Day
The man who recorded the footage told Telemundo Nueva Inglaterra that he heard the mother screaming, "He has his papers, he has his license!"
Ice is out of control. DHS, Immigration is out of control. Defund DHS, Defund ICE.
I first imagined this as a group of little people wearing ushankas and doing various bodybuilding poses.

Oh crap. This wasn't widely reported at the time in 2024.
tldr: Southwestern Ohio man caught with IED in large soccer complex; it detonates while bomb squad examines it. Apple iCloud video shows other IEDs. Video quote, "A man can be heard saying "it blew the car above the tree line.""
Man, James River Phillips, who resides near Kings Island Amusement Park in Southwestern Ohio, sets an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) at a fairground's parking lot of a large soccer complex in Lebanon, #Ohio
"The IED had wires running from a pile of white powder to a control switch," read the court documents.
It exploded while the bomb squad was examining it.
According to the release, the Joint Terrorism Task Force was also able to connect Phillips to other incidents where he is alleged to have possessed and detonated potential explosives.
Information from his Apple iCloud account had video of the detonation of a device at the soccer field in April, 2024.
Additional photos and videos from July, 2024 show an explosion and the destruction of a car. A man can be heard saying "it blew the car above the tree line."

So basically the US says:
If you want to manufacture or repair laptops within the US with parts that are imported you pay 145% tariffs but if you buy a fully assembled laptop it will add 0% tariffs
1. They fuckup right to repair even more
2. They make sure no one is gonna manufacture this way within the country
3. WTF
