Perversely, but many of you are going to immediately know what I'm thinking here - Ross would be in more trouble if he were on video after the shooting saying "Oh no" or "what have I done?" - that would have lost him every gloating conservative in the country
I am going to assume by the gloating from top political figures that they believe any jury will acquit the guy for killing the "fucking bitch" just like with Rittenhouse, Penny, etc. - a trial of the victim, not the accused.

To reset some expectations, Daniel Penny was acquitted.

If there is anything that sums up how these ICE guys feel about all of us, it’s the “fucking bitch” part.
They are pretty much ready to shoot all of us if given explicit immunity/instructions.
If you believe law enforcement agencies don’t hire guys like that… find a brain cell.

I am just waiting to see Congressional Dems hold the line on funding ICE and maintaining its full authority.

Considering posting it to Facebook, except I would probably get banned permanently even though the VP and Don Jr already posted it elsewhere, so it would not have the effect I would like it to have

If the president were a saboteur whose mission was to trigger a civil war or the breakup of the union, I'm not sure what he would do differently.
More from the party of federalism: "the states are merely an agent for the federal government in counting and tabulating the votes. They must do what the federal government, as represented by the president of the United States, tells them, for the good of the country, to do."

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

Again, Renee Good's fundraiser has well exceeded all help her family would need.

Murders her, then says "fucking bitch".
Hard video to watch, but about as close as you can get to conclusively disproving the Trump admin's claims that she deliberately attempted to run down the officer. She even talks nicely with him moments before!
Note also that the officer is focused more on filming her than on anything else.

🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific.
They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.
Stop the lies.

The past few days I've been thinking about this 1943 watercolor—Untitled (Police Beating)—by Norman Lewis. What's striking is not only depiction of violence, a subject for many Black artists, but also onlooker responding gleefully: recognition there will always be those who exult in state violence

these poor people who got shot by CBP officers *called portland police for help*, this is a lie and a coverup, CBP tried to murder two portland residents in a hospital parking lot and then fled the scene
okay, this was just a straight up attempted murder, because i am 1000% certain that this TdA business is absolute horseshit, this is a lie, and this was an attempted murder

There are no rules, they don’t actually care about respect, decorum, bipartisanship or debate, and only pretend to do so to browbeat you into submission. Nothing is going to change until more people realise that and respond accordingly; including to the media and politicians who have failed them.

Something I keep hearing from younger sources (who generally have less work experience & are trying to break into the labor market) is that aspiring to one job feels simultaneously impossible, because it seems there are *no* jobs, & far-fetched, because how could they afford to only work one job?
2025 is now, officially, the worst year for job creation outside of recession since 2003.
