Trump is blatantly lying about the shooting now. We all saw the video.
Trump is lying about the circumstances of a US citizen being shot.
ICE murdered the woman in cold blood and walked away. He was not run over. He is not in the hospital. It is easy to know he is alive.
Impeach and remove Trump now for aiding murder of US citizens and lying to cover up the murder!

I would like to know what is ICE doing in an ICU. That is a medical threat to *all* patients that are there and how is the hospital administration not able to or not willing to shove them out? How could they medically release the toddler knowing they would immediately be back in these conditions?
A toddler was rushed to the hospital from ICE detention with Covid, RSV, & pneumonia, then sent back & denied prescribed treatment.
These centres are *rife* for viral disease spread & little kids are extra vulnerable

When I come across LLM generated fan fic on ao3, I drop it like a hot potato.
Frankly, it sucks. The sentences don't flow and the errors are glaringly obvious (like initially describing a trumpet playing and then talking about its "strings").

17 years I had to deal with this (the people who installed them didn't have a long enough hose to connect them differently 😡). Eventually found someone to do this for me (because no way was I going to try to move these massive things and the doors didn't reverse).

feels like info we'd expect politicians making decisions about cops and body cameras to know because it happened a decade ago, but when they've been in office 35 years since the time they were nearing retirement age to address issues they remembered from 1980 I imagine it all starts to blur together
Cops were frequently getting caught planting drugs in 2017 because body cameras were new and many of them didn't understand how the technology worked.
When cops hit "record" it saved the 30 seconds from *before* they hit the button. Eventually, they figured it out.
