Officer 1: “Get out of the car!”

Officer 2: “Get out of here!”
The confusion is not surprising. The shooting officer had his phone out too.
This deserves a clear and fair investigation

Add to this list BBC Verify and several European newspapers, unanimously reaching the same conclusion. It's a serious test of the Trump MAGA lie-machine.
For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

The Trump administration isn't just lying about reasons to murder Americans, it is lying about those murders too.
Donald Trump claimed that this murderer, calmly and ably fleeing the scene of his crime, was hospitalized with injuries.

Reality keeps ruining the script…
TRUMP: A professional agitator ran over an ICE agent who barely survived.
THE ICE AGENT: not only looks uninjured physically, he seems mentally fine, not shaken up, unbothered, walking away from the scene.

Watch the video. It was murder.
He killed her, because guys like this become absolutely uncontrollably enraged when anyone, but especially a woman, resists their power.
Check his background, guarantee you he's an abuser.

Trump issues an order for the arrest and criminal prosecution of members of Congress who made a video reminding soldiers and sailors that they swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States and shouldn't implement illegal orders. Trump's conduct is unabashed fascism.

I think more members of Congress should do ads telling federal employees not to do illegal shit. Get the ones with law degrees out there saying, “We’ll prosecute your ass when Trump is gone if you crime for him.”

Oh. Constructive purpose. Post have to have a constructive purpose on this platform, do they?

Yeah, I don't think I'll be posting much here anymore.

Paramount Global, CBS, and 60 Minutes literally sold their credibility and their integrity for CEO bonuses and shareholder value. Trump rubbed their noses in their own shit last night and they sat there and took it, because the Press has been a collaborator with Trump from the beginning.

I'm not a Nobel winning economist, but it seems to me the world's largest retailer and the worlds largest delivery services laying off hundreds of thousands right before the busiest retail and delivery season of the year is perhaps not an optimistic indicator of Trump's promised "Golden Age"

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.
If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.
So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”
Because that IS what they are going to say.

The Speaker of the House calling peaceful American protestors terrorists is not going to end well for democracy.
What a despicable little man who is lying through his teeth to try to incite violence against Americans who will be peacefully assembling to protest the Trump regime’s anti-democratic rule.
Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

A US citizen & human rights defender identified as Rachel S. was abducted & beaten by ICE Trump regime forces in LA, then transported to the hospital and then a detention center, local rights defenders demand an investigation.
