The guy who shot Marimar Martinez, which resembles Renee Good's shooting in many ways, shouted "Do something bitch" as he shot her.

He is also a weapons instructor.
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.

We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands.

Burning tear gas grenades have been clocked at nearly 800 deg C (1450 F), which is way hotter than most gloves, mitts, etc will ever bear. So don't pick them up.

Pinning this again:

Do not use milk, juice, urine, antacids, baking soda on pepper spray or tear gas. Just water. Plain water..

Optical saline ok in eyes, but maybe save it for the dumbasses who wore contact lenses.
Plain soap or shampoo ok on skin, but never in eyes.

Road report:

-I haven't done anything on Xitter since Nov 2024.

-Via someone's account, recently trawled through the main news feed.

It actually is shocking. Between the Grok-generated sexploitation, and white-supremacist cheerleading, that's most of the feed.

No "real" org should be there.

In case you've seen the story about “grok now only generates images for paid users”, it's untrue. Apparently everyone just reported it because… it was what grok told them 🤦🏼

Senators Ron Wyden, Ben Ray Lujan, and Ed Markey just published an open letter urging Apple + Google to remove the X and Grok apps from their app stores:
www.nbcnews.com/tech/interne...
Thousands of people on X are using Grok to create sexualized images of adults + minors wearing minimal clothing. This not only violates X's own content policy, it may violate the guidelines of Apple’s App Store and the Google Play store:

Elon Musk’s chatbot has been used to generate thousands of sexualized images of adults and apparent minors. Apple and Google have removed other “nudify” apps—but continue to host X and Grok.

Republicans keep talking about how great Trump’s economy is. Are they living under a rock? Maybe if they actually held town halls & talked to real people, they’d know the only people who think the economy is great are Epstein elites & multi-billionaires. Everyone else thinks his economy sucks.

My daughter’s distance learning was from 30 yards, where a convoy turned the wrong way on a one way street & sped up the block.

[They had to back up because a woman in an SUV blocked their way.]

Kristi Noem, herself, supplied the method used to ID the agent. She said he "been dragged by a vehicle” in an earlier incident.

@startribune.com reporters, who know their way around court records, quickly unearthed his name and confirmed his identity.
