about half the people on this website act like the first time anyone lied on the internet is when we managed to teach linear algebra to do it. like separating truth from fiction is somehow a new demand that this talking magic box imposes on us.

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

I just want to say that 1) AltWatcher is doing the lord's work and 2) the altnps account, in my opinion, needs to be outright banned - and I don't say that merely because I loathe it, but because it's unbelievably unhealthy for this fake, plagiarizing, qanon-lite account to have this influence.
AltNPS posted about Alex Pretti's murder 25 times since this morning. During that time, they spread misinformation about the shooting, lied about knowing the shooter's name, and generally flooded the zone with shit.
They're trying to milk this story for all it's worth.

Crazy that they're fine with shooting innocent people in the face if they're lesbians, but they see it happen to an innocent man who had a gun and think "that could have been me!"

Two and half minutes. That’s all the time the CBS Evening News thought today’s events in Minneapolis were worth. Not even time to tell viewers what Alex Pretti did for a living.
The winter storm got 8 minutes.
NBC Nightly News spent 8 minutes, nearly half the show, on Pretti’s killing

I'm going to enjoy it on xitter so much you have no idea.
In like 5 months, republicans are going to try to rerun a Jay Jones when it gets leaked that some democratic says that ICE agents should be liked up along a wall and it’s not going to make a single difference in that democrat leading by a landslide. And republicans will not comprehend it.

If a liberal assaulted a Republican congressman it would be front page news and every democrat would be asked to condemn them within an hour.
Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face. He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay.

My buddy's 15 year DnD group is imploding because a couple of the long time players are defending the ICE murders and everyone else is appalled. This is a red line for normal people in a "get the fuck out and never talk to me again" way. The evil and injustice is instantly recognizable.

Sincerely, this behavior is worth celebrating. We should commend the people willing to confront and even estrange themselves from old friends over this. Remind them it’s the right thing to do.
This is a topic with no ambiguity. You cannot support ICE.

going by the shibboleths and archetypes of what the broadest cross section of Americans consider honorable and decent, CBP executed a goddamn saint today. a nurse who served veterans, who no one would speak a word against, a legal gun owner exercising his 2nd Amendment rights, and yes, a white man.

The nurses where a huge % are immigrants, the system they work in is being torpedoed, everyone has flu while Brainworms tries to destroy vaccination, and now they’re being murdered by a paramilitary doing ethnic cleansing AND blamed for their own murder? Yeah, I can see how they’d be displeased

We sometimes think about the martyrs of the Boston Massacre as the first deaths in the American Revolution.
But an 11yo boy named Christopher Seider was killed by a customs informer the week before.
Boston gave him a huge funeral. Tensions were snapping. And then soldiers fired into the crowd.

Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by ICE.
They claimed she was a terrorist. Said she was brandishing a weapon.
They lied. Video footage exonerated her and showed the ICE agent shot her five times.
He bragged to other agents “five shots, 7 holes”.

Been one of the younger members of a large Facebook group of rock music critics and adjacent pop music lovers for 15 years now.
Mostly white men in their 60s and 50s who grew up on The Clash or Hüsker Dü.
Mods just banned a guy who’s been there since the beginning because he’s pro-ICE. Beautiful.
