ICE Used a Neo-Nazi Anthem to Recruit After Killing a U.S. Citizen
ICE chose imagery and music that appeals to extremists. That tells you exactly who they want wearing the badge.

“They’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the cats.”

“The 2020 election was stolen.”

“January 6th was Nancy Pelosi’s fault.”

“She’s a domestic terrorist.”

“I’ll lower grocery prices on day one.”

“No new foreign entanglements.”

Lies. All lies.

And as always, it's vital to say "The media are lying to you!" so when you see actual evidence and that voice in your head says "I don't know, it looks like she was trying to leave" a louder voice will say "If you even entertain the truth then you will be a traitor in this war."

FYI, everyone on the right is being fed a completely insane story in which the videos of Renee Good's murder so plainly show the officer had no choice but to kill her that you'd have to be crazy to think otherwise.

An example, from the Heritage Foundation:

One Video Blows Up Countless Media Narratives About Minnesota ICE Shooting
One video sank an entire media news cycle of false narratives about the ICE shooting of a woman in Minnesota.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific.

They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.

Stop the lies.

She smiles at the man who shoots her and says she isn't mad at him. Clearly initiates the effort to leave when the aggressive agents arrive.
The question now (not that this was in question) isn't who's telling the truth. It's when DHS had this video and knew that what they were saying was a lie.

We desperately need to get MAGA in front of fact-based, pro-democracy media diets. It’s imperative that we strive to lift all information boats because when people gorge on propaganda, they vote for a president who sends jackboots into the streets to murder us. open.substack.com/pub/publicen...

NEW: Data released by ICE shows that virtually the entire growth of detention in the last few months has been among people with no criminal record at all - no prior convictions (no matter how minor) and no pending criminal charges.

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.

If the headline is "disputed shooting" rather than straightforwardly telling the public what happened this rewards the DHS for lying about these events

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people

really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

An ICE officer fatally shooting a woman in Minneapolis is not the first time federal agents involved in immigration have shot a person this year. Here are two shootings, including another fatal one, during the recent Chicago blitz.
