Exhibit 1: Tom Homan is accused of being bribed with a bag filled with $50K.

Exhibit 2: Tom Homan is being sent to Minneapolis.

Exhibit 3: The signing bonus to become an ICE agent is $50K.

Dude, it's all right there. Tom Homan's going to be an ICE agent.

The math checks out.

Just a few hours after celebrating Sal B's birthday, I got the news that Sal has passed away. An enormous loss for our industry and for all of us who knew and worked with him. Safe journeys, Sal. We'll miss you.
Sal Buscema turns 90 today. There's hardly a Marvel character Sal hasn't left his mark on, from Cap to the Hulk, Avengers to Thor. Working with Sal for two years on Spectacular Spider-Man remains a highlight of my career. And the best part? He's not just a great artist, he's a truly good guy.

Incroyable!
Un astéroïde qui fonce sur la Terre ? C'est une mission pour Superman !
Mais lorsque cet astéroïde se révèle être de la kryptonite, c'est tout un monde qui se transforme. Et de nouvelles menaces pour la super famille.

The 70 year old protestor is Greg Ketter of DreamHaven Books.

As kids we grew up reading comics with our favorite heroes fighting Nazis, fascists and evil corporate billionaires.

This is in our blood.

Walz: "I don't care if you are conservative are flying a Donald Trump flag, a libertarian 'Don't Treat on Me,' a Democratic Socialist -- this an inflection point. If we cannot all agree that the smearing of a citizen and besmirching everything they stood for -- someone has to be accountable."

Alex Pretti was already restrained when federal agents shot and killed him in Minneapolis, a New York Times analysis of video shows. The footage contradicts the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the shooting.
Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded
A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

Sorry for posting this, because it's disturbing, but it is important that we can all see this crucial moment. There is no disputing this order of events:

Pretti was disarmed (of the holstered weapon that he had a permit to carry).

And THEN he was murdered by ICE.
Federal agents in Minneapolis wrestled Alex Pretti to the ground and secured the handgun he was carrying moments before shooting him multiple times, according to a Washington Post analysis of video footage.

How can you not feel for his parents at this time?
Their son was a good man and this administration is trying to vilify him. We should all be grateful to the brave people who kept filming what took place, from multiple angles, so that all of us could be witnesses to what actually happened.

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.

Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

"Videos of the encounter contradict the federal government's description of the incident." -NY Times

Really?

There's a faster, easier, and more honest way to say that, @nytimes.com.

Try again.

They should not be allowed to wear masks. Police don't wear masks. National Guard don't wear masks. No one ever makes the argument that Police or National Guard could be "doxxed".
ICE should be identifiable so that if they are filmed committing atrocities those specific ICE agents can be identified.

I’m so proud of Minnesota. I understand why some people belittle protests as not enough, but I really think this shit matters.

I saw a clip on Fox News and they had to admit thousands of people showed up. It’s not going to stop Trump, but it’s a signal to your neighbors that they’re not alone.
From a friend in Minneapolis, just now:
