Retired attorney; Yanks/Giants fan. Never forget the hypocrisy of the flag-hugging draft dodger, and the murderous insurrection he incited and his party enabled. All in on the fight against fascism, and the nauseating hypocrisy of sanctimonious Republicans

So ICE and the White House have been scrambling to pump out meme videos of clashes with protesters and "epic takedowns" and then an ICE agent recording video with his phone shoots a woman dead www.washingtonpost.com/technology/i...
We read thousands of internal ICE chats. They show how officials make raids go viral
Thousands of internal ICE messages show how its public affairs team has coordinated with the White House to satisfy Trump administration demands for viral arrest videos

Frey: "An individual from a car that was in the middle of a street was detained. ICE left the car in the middle of the street. The car wasn't even in park, so you got it just rolling down the street w/nobody in it. It could've hit anybody, including my own family. This is not about safety"

He called her a “fucking bitch” after shooting her in the face THREE TIMES. He had just been insulted by her wife attacking his ego. His hand was on the gun. This was murder with malicious intent. A hate crime.

"You know what I didn’t do during all my years in policing? Shoot innocent people sitting in their cars."
I was a cop for 20 years. I managed to not shoot any innocent people.
The spree of ICE shootings against unarmed civilians is a tell.

I don’t think this new angle changed anyone’s mind, because everyone is already dug into their partisan foxholes, but it should very clearly at least show you that she wasn’t trying to run over this officer. That narrative was bullshit.
ICE agent should be charged with murder.

America really does have a five‑alarm fire in the White House: a president who openly says the only authority that can stop him is “my own morality. My own mind,” while standing on a record of criminal convictions, financial scams, and armed resource grabs abroad

In 2025 the US averaged 49k new jobs a month compared to 168k in 2024.
To be clear these numbers were posted by the BLS today after Trump recently fired their statistics chief, claiming without evidence that the “jobs numbers were RIGGED in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad”.

The US already accesses heavy crude from Canada's oil sands. "Trade an established supply from a stable democracy for a supply that has to be built up at huge expense in an unstable dictatorship that has already expropriated assets" is a business plan that only a buffoon like Trump would propose.

My monthly post about the jobs report…
It's just bad.
I normally link data and articles from major news outlets—but they're capitulating to Trump, rather than call it what it is they're talking about how great it's going to be...
So l made a chart instead—comparing his 1st year to Biden’s last.

Minnesota officials renewed their calls on Friday for state agents to be allowed to help investigate the fatal shooting of a woman by an ICE officer earlier this week. State investigators so far have been denied access to evidence, they said.

The confusion is not surprising. The shooting officer had his phone out too.

New: Trio of Dem senators urge Apple and Google to enforce their own terms of service and ban X, Grok apps for their flood of nonconsensual sexual imagery.
I've repeatedly asked both Apple and Google about this for three days. They're completely silent, seemingly hoping the question just goes away.
