I was already worried about current media literacy, but the number of people complaining that Green Day "didn't get political" as if they didn't play American Idiot at the literal Super Bowl.

At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.
