ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who shot and killed an unarmed civilian, flew a don't-tread-on-me Gadsden flag at his house, per the Daily Mail.

This bizarre and dangerous claim violates literally every section of our Constitution, which was built by geniuses explicitly to limit individual power.

Those entrusted with enforcing our Constitution have a duty to every Conservative and Liberal American. A duty to act. Now.

Literally starting an illegal war so you steal the physical noble peace prize from a woman.

Irony is dead
unspeakably pathetic stuff from Trump here as he says he'd be honored to accept María Corina Machado's Nobel Prize if she wants to give it up to him

The "alleged" crime committed was murder, a state crime. There isn't even a federal crime for the feds to have jurisdiction over.
Noem on Minnesota officials: "They have not been cut out. They don't have any jurisdiction in this investigation."

Sure we have one illegal war we started but why not two or three (Greenland) or four (Canada) or five (Columbia) or six (Cuba) or even seven (Brazil) at once.
Trump, in a sit down interview on Fox News aired just now, said the US will be conducting land strikes against the cartels.

"We are gonna start now hitting land, with regard to the cartels. The cartels are running Mexico."

The defining characteristics of the whole Trump team is valuing performative cruelty over everything, even achieving Trump's stated goals.

Like they suck at doing anything except appearing to be the biggest assholes possible on TV/Social Media.

So Musk didn't accidentally spend billions making what became a child porn machine, he purposely spent billions to make a child porn machine.
Grok producing vile sexualized deepfakes of women and children isn’t an accident

Direct your anger accordingly and correctly. Border patrol shot two people in Portland and the local Portland police likely saved their lives with quick first aid. www.kgw.com/article/news...
Border Patrol agents shot 2 people in East Portland during 'targeted traffic stop,' DHS says
In a statement, Mayor Keith Wilson called for a halt on ICE operations in Portland, asking Portlanders to show up with "calm and purpose" after the shooting.

While horrible don't let this be an excuse. Bring charges. You honestly didn't need any more evidence than what you have now. We have the shooting from multiple cameras. That is more evidence than what presented at trial in like 90% of crime cases.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota investigators say they can't access evidence after fatal ICE shooting and FBI won't work jointly on probe.

Can't believe we didn't go a full 24 hours without needing to tap the sign here--->
Being a law enforcement person is tough. There are a lot of heated emotional moments and the need to make split second decisions. That is why you DONT GIVE GUNS TO GOONS WITH ALMOST NO TRAINING.

This is exactly what was predicted. It is only a matter of time until it happens again.

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?
Previously, several of these companies, like Apple, IBM, and Disney, have paused advertising on X in response to antisemitic content. But antisemitism on X never slowed, sexual abuse imagery increased, and all of these companies quietly resumed advertising anyways.

Why isn't there a bigger Grok boycott?
Advertisers, politicians, and investors are still all-in on X, despite a sexual abuse crisis.

People don't like the reality but COVID proved that a pretty common belief among old school social outreach organizations, some significant share of crime is a form of entertainment/downstream byproduct and will go up when other legal forms of entertainment go away
Everyone predicted this????? "This is a covid level increase in crime that will reduce" was an extremely common take. These guys ignored it because they wanted to crime panic

I think it's highly likely Trump aides tried to avoid showing him the video that displays the shooting into the window from the side of the car, taken from the back, because it shows the officer was in no sense in life-threatening danger when he fired the shots:

They're not just doing tyranny, they're doing the *exact* things listed in the Declaration of Independence that the colonists accused the king of. It's surreal

A goon killed a woman in cold blood and Trump is going to lie about because it is his goon.

There is no truth, no justice, no rules only subservience to Trump.

publicly rejecting it, on every social media account you have, and amplifying every other rejection, is also signaling. they’re a weak regime, getting weaker, in a mix of false bravado and panic and fear, and who they fear is us. they should.
The president is also signalling to his followers in and out of government what the party line on this horrific murder will be. That it's transparently false is almost beside the point. Indeed, publicly adopting the falsehood will fast become a loyalty test.
That he chooses the "me or your lying eyes?" approach, in the full knowledge that there are multiple videos out there, is a striking commentary on the nature of propaganda in the modern information environment.

For the press "the president has turned a federal agency into a political kidnapping and murder squad" is unthinkable. Ergo they must not think it

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.
