The elite ICE Spoliation Squad snaps into action
It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.
Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

These videos now making their way out of Tehran are absolutely unbelievable and truly, some of the most important moments history. This is a still of one of thousands of events taking place right now across Tehran, where women are taking their veils off and burning them in mass in public.

How fucking ironic is this from the fascist trump regime?
Trump earlier: “Iran's in big trouble. It looks to me that the people are taking over certain cities that nobody thought were really possible... We're watching... I made the statement very strongly that if they start killing people like they have in the past, we will get involved."

there is no positive route forward for the United States without mass arrests and trials for DHS employees
You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

it makes complete sense, they don’t want to be an opposition party. they’ve told everyone this repeatedly, there’s not going to be any moment where they come around on this. Schumer was yucking it up with Rubio a day ago, they’re happy with this status quo
dem strategy makes no sense. voters don't like how chaotic trump is. media and dumb swing voters just convinced themselves he would be more normal in round 2. when dems downplay trump latest insanity, it cedes ground and creates the impression that what he is doing is within the realm of reason.

Authoritarians lie as a loyalty test. They don’t care about actual belief, just that their lemmings are willing to prostrate themselves before the great leaders provably false claims.
So we’re not supposed to believe our eyes when we’ve seen multiple videos that confirm what we know we saw?

For a literal decade the official CBP policy has been “don’t stand in front of or behind vehicles” because the decade before that their internally commissioned studies found that agents were putting themselves in front of vehicles so as to shoot the occupants
Because he put himself in front of the car to have an excuse to shoot!

Idk why people are interpreting this as "Portland Cops are actually doing OK in this instance". They insisted the victims were involved in a massive criminal investigation despite not being able to provide a single example of said organization operating in Portland. They are covering for ICE

Short clip 1 of 2 from this morning's protest outside the Whipple Federal Building that houses an ICE detention facility and a HQ for ICE in Minneapolis.
A small crowd confronting ICE was attacked by federal agents who used force and fired with chemical irritants and 'less-lethal' munitions.

Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.
This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

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.

Jonathan Ross must be arrested, tried, and convicted then sentenced to be hung, drawn, and quartered while his family watches. We will record their screams as they watch and then play them back to our children so they can sleep safely at night.

This is one of the most blatant moves towards competitive authoritarianism that we have seen so far. This unit will obviously only “investigate” opposition politicians, to shove them down the same road as Tim Walz.
That’s how we could end up with unfair elections.

People (especially law enforcement and those defending their actions) use the word “comply” for a reason. Compliance for a person with control or power means acting exactly how they want, when they want, where they want, as fast as they want, and in the very specific ways they want. /1
