Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

New: I spoke with a Colombian asylum seeker who was the victim of a ‘Kavanaugh stop’ about what it was like to be racially profiled, abducted in front his family and held in ICE detention hours from home for more than a month—despite doing everything “the right way.”

Today's US attack on Venezuela alters the significance of the federal recall of National Guard troops from domestic deployment two days ago. It was not a political loss for Trump, but preparation for war. In the currently volunteer US army, the National Guard is the largest troop reserve.
THIS A MAJOR L FOR TRUMP
It’s important to note that Trump was effectively forced to abandon the deployments, even though he framed it publicly as a choice, and NY Times’ reporting echoed his propaganda.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked
