This witness to Alex Pretti's murder not only refutes the governmen't story, but says she is afraid to go home because federal agents might arrest her. This is what it feels like to live under state terror.

If only the media had the skepticism and scrutiny for ICE murdering Americans as they did for the healthcare website’s glitches in the initial rollout of Obamacare.

Sure as shit either Robby Soave or Josh Blackman is gonna do a frame-by-frame Zapruder analysis at Reason by Monday that totally exonerates the ICE pig.
I watched the video and pretty much everyone is representing it pretty much accurately and I don't think you need to watch it if your takeaway is that a bunch of ICE guys were on top of a dude who they were beating and then one of them decided to shoot him at point blank range for no obvious reason

The fucking problem with this theory is that if we do not build power now and deliver on massive structural reform, a worse fascist and their party will win midterms in 2030 and the presidency in 2032.
It's also not helping that most (but not all) Democrats seem to have adopted a strategy of doing nothing. They are, correctly, observing that the GOP is going to devour itself and revolt enough voters that the Demcrats should coast to an easy win in the midterms and again in 2028.

ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage.
Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

The Supreme Court’s “History and Tradition” Test Just Ran Into America’s History and Tradition of Anti-Black Racism
Requiring "historical analogues" for modern gun laws eventually turns up some history that makes even the conservative justices uncomfortable.
