21-year-old activist injured by ICE:
I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

Events in Minneapolis have shown, there is no real reason for taxpayers to keep paying an armed, pseudo-militarized agency that gleefully terrorizes Trump’s political opponents. trib.al/GaVmtHW
Trump Already Gave Us the Blueprint for Abolishing ICE
The public is coming around to the notion that the agency has to be eliminated. Fortunately, this administration and its Supreme Court allies have made that incredibly easy.

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.

Every time I see Patrick Stewart or Ian McKellan do something X-Men (or Star Trek / LotR) related I get mad at how the death of mid-budget cinema means there will never be a cozy old man romance movie starring two cozy old men who share an actual long-standing platonic love for one another.

It's important to remember that Donald Trump lies constantly, but this is Donald Trump declaring that he has used the United States military to extort Venezuela into giving him $1.7-2.7 billion for his personal use.
