This is completely not okay, and we can't become numb to repeated instances of illegal and unconstitutional action by government agencies. The recent days have been horrific.
🚨BREAKING: Border Patrol just illegally arrested a U.S. citizen… a TEENAGER… in Richfield, Minnesota.
The teen was working at Target when agents tackled him and arrested him, while his passport was in his pocket, fully identifying himself as a U.S. citizen.
None of it mattered.
Why? Because he looked Latino.
When a coworker asked who to call, he said, heartbreakingly: “my mom.”
Think about that. Your teenage son goes to work, and Border Patrol kidnaps him.
This isn’t an isolated incident. ICE and Border Patrol have repeatedly illegally arrested U.S. citizens, especially in Minnesota. And after agents murdered a U.S. citizen who tried to drive away from illegal detention, this should outrage every single American.
U.S. citizens do not have to prove their citizenship. Yet, ICE and Border Patrol agents are routinely violating the Constitution, demanding proof anyway… and even refusing to accept drivers licenses or real IDs.
And now? Even a passport doesn’t matter.
This isn’t enforcement… it’s targeting Americans based on fear and appearance, treating citizens like criminals in their own country.
When will this end? When will the government stop stripping citizens of their rights and labeling them terrorists for simply existing?
I’ve built three personal apps of moderate complexity over the break, and Gemini has been amazing. Starting in aistudio, then using antigravity and Gemini CLI/Jules, it’s been easy to get complex things coded — even all the way to a functioning iPad app for dungeon mastering that I’m going to use tomorrow night. It’s oneshotted entire features. While I’m helping it on some bugs and debugging strategy, it’s quite good. I think a lot is about to change.
Ouch. Giants fans (and Dodger haters everywhere) got let down by Blue Jay pinch runner (Isiah Kiner-Falefa) who got just barely thrown out at home on a bases-loaded 1 out bottom of the ninth dramatic play, but he had nearly no secondary lead and chose to slide into home instead of running through on a force play (which probably would have made all the difference).
I am very proud of our team's (xitter.cfpany/projects/bellwethe…) efforts in this collaboration amongst many parts of Google to launch advanced AI tools for the planet.

Today we are holding an @iphonedevcamp hackathon and we are launching a token on @helpdotfun. We will begin live-streaming this event right after this post.
To trade it, you have to solve a puzzle to get the real CA: help.fun/developer
1.5% of trading fees will go to Developer Camp’s mission: empower technologists to change the world with great ideas. Square, Getaround, Temple Run, OAuth, Apple’s TestFlight all have created their foundation at Developer Camp. Also, if you are a developer please reach out to us, we want you to be a part of the next batch.
Excited to share some research from @Theteamatx ! Using @GoogleDeepMind's AlphaEarth Foundation model, our xitter.cfpany/projects/bellwethe… team successfully mapped wildfire-fueling vegetation in previously un-analyzed parts of Canada with ~81% accuracy. This is a big step for predicting and preventing wildfires globally. arxiv.org/pdf/2508.11739
