By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

“My name is Matthew James! I’m a United States citizen! You’re gonna kill me! Is that what you want?”

ICE isn’t about immigration. It’s about violence, fear and control.
Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

If you’re not from here, I need to explain this execution was on Eat Street, a commercial corridor of restaurants and coffee shops that literally everyone goes to. Normies, queermos, weirdos, neighborhood folks. Whatever that place is in your city, imagine ICE executing someone in cold blood there.

ICE attempted to order local police from the scene of the Minneapolis shooting, but the police chief refused and instructed his officers to preserve the crime scene.

I want every person working for or with ICE, at every level, tried for felony murder. This is now the compromise position.
I don't recommend watching the video, but I don't see how you can call ICE anything other than death squads at this point

Body cameras do not fix this. Better training does not do this. Shutting down the agency and engaging in large-scale Nuremberg Trials are the way to handle denazification.

Our world is being turned on its head by the dumbest fucks available. Their comms people pumping out this slop have less scientific literacy than the average second grader.
There are many serious governments in the world.

The US is not one of them.

Venezuelan family seeking asylum -- entered legally, both parents with college degrees -- took their 7-year-old to the ER for a nosebleed and fever. ICE, which is now targeting hospitals as well as churches schools, blocked the child from getting care and detained them instead
The parents of a 7 year old, all of whom are in the process of applying for asylum, took their daughter to the ER when her nose wouldn't stop bleeding. ICE picked them up near the hospital and they are now in detention in Texas, presumably awaiting deportation. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

For good reason, most schools have detailed procedures about campus safety. In the current era, these seem to revolve around preventing mass shootings or randos from wandering the halls.

But the bigger threat is quite quickly going to emerge as the spread of vaccine-preventable diseases.

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'
The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality.

I wonder if the people who keep talking like that understand they’re perpetuating regime propaganda.

The NY Times headline predictably undersells how evil this was (RFK Jr's study was going to restrict access to Hep B vaccines for babies in a country where it is highly prevalent), but nonetheless relieved to see this modern day Tuskegee experiment stopped
NEW: Kennedy's plan to study Hep. B vaccine in African babies has been suspended by Guinea-Bissau. Experts say the trial is unethical in a nation where 1 in 5 kids are exposed to Hep. B, which can take decades off their lives. HHS: the trial is "paused."

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

THIS ISN’T GETTING ENOUGH ATTENTION.

More than 100 immigration judges have been fired nationwide since Trump took office. 21 in San Francisco alone, many without explanation.

Why? Because these judges provided due process under US law.

The Trump admin doesn’t want hearings or fairness.
