You can be conservative, you can be as rabidly and immoveably pro Israel as you want, WITHOUT doing the anti-vax stuff. Why is that part of it now? Why do you have to put that on CBS news, killing thousands of kids? Why does that have to be part of it now? I don't get it.

When the CBP or ICE agent that Stephen Miller is trying to get killed dies, it is extremely important that every member of the media be told, repeatedly and loudly, that they wanted this and that people called it out in advance.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

America's come to Jesus moment for COVID was when the NBA shut down.
It's really up to the players and coaches. But they hold an unusual amount of power here, and Minnesota has a home game today in three hours.

Here's the narrative to watch out for:
One of the agents shouts that he thinks the guy they're dogpiling has a gun. The others react heroically in the moment to protect their fellow officers.
As despicable as it is predictable.

This is why you HAVE to have at least some sort of symbolic attempt at justice by local or state authorities.
If the prosecution fails, it fails. But there HAS to be something for people to grab onto right now. Some sense that justice is possible to avoid a worst case scenario.

Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

Also it was the guy they killed's fault for resisting the orders of federal agents and the fault of all us domestic terrorists for creating a climate of fear and stress for ICE agents.

Now Fox is airing their report from a DHS source that the man who was shot had a gun. They are not showing the video, only describing it as “some sort of interaction with a man who was armed.”

The Republican party is, straightforwardly, a death cult. Including for children.
OMG. Milhoan “said that he did have “concerns” that some children might die of measles or become paralyzed with polio as a result of a choice not to vaccinate. But, he said, “I also am saddened when people die of alcoholic diseases,” adding, “Freedom of choice and bad health outcomes.”

Breaking News: Rejecting decades of science, the chair of the federal panel that recommends vaccines for Americans said that shots against polio and measles — and perhaps all diseases — should be optional. The vaccines are credited with preventing disability and millions of deaths worldwide.
Vaccine Panel Chair Says Polio and Other Shots Should Be Optional, Rejecting Decades of Science
Dr. Kirk Milhoan, a pediatric cardiologist who leads the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, said a person’s right to refuse a vaccine outweighed concerns about illness or death from infectious diseases.

Yes, I mean, I imagine John Wayne Gacy also probably did really give those kids some candy.
ICE spokesperson Marcos Charles: "My officers stayed with the child. They cared for him. Took him to get something to eat from a drive-thru restaurant and spent hours ensuring he was taken care of. Again, my officers did that, not his father ... his family refused to open the door and take him back"

Many people might jump to compare this to Mengele, but the closer and more American comp is Tuskegee.
RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.

Hear me out: should the liberal justices join (or concur) with Thomas and Alito and let Trump fire fed governors?
Everyone knows the special carve out for the Fed is nonsense. Force the issue. Most (elected or appointed) Republicans presumably DON'T want Trump to do this. Why help them?

“No! Back up!” an ICE agent told him.

For all the denouncing D's must do of every slogan a sophomore comes up with no one expects a single ICE officer to say something like "hey we should not steal and sell innocent U.S. citizens' phones, that was bad."
Like just try to imagine one ICE agent or DHS flak saying that. You can't!

Yeah, this is why piecing the evidence soberly matters. To me, these guys escalated things at every turn, unnecessarily. It is possible they saw a couple of unbothered women and decided to teach them a lesson through fear. The panic they intentionally created then is used to “justify” the shooting.
If you listen you can hear the other lady that was filming say "Renee! He has a gun!" right before the shots and then the vehicle driving off. This is just awful but in my humble opinion completely exonerates her.
